  • Movie: The Siege

    I can’t recall why I picked this movie. It’s about terrorist attacks in New York, and was made in 1998. I didn’t get much out of it.

  • Movie: Luther

    This is a biography of Marin Luther made by Lutherans, and clearly Luther is the hero of the film. Catholics might still feel slighted by it, but I don’t think it goes overboard as I feared it might. Luther’s character is kept quite human, and not all of the Roman Catholic Church authorities are simply…

  • Name the evergreen

    This is an easy one. This tree has a been a foothills friend to me in Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, and California. It’s distinctive size and appearance made it one of the first trees I learned. These trees can get big, up to 300 feet tall, but most are in the 100-150 foot range. They…

  • Movie: The Terminal

    I can’t recall another movie that goes from being good to bad as quickly as this one does. We begin with the interesting if implausible setup of a traveler trapped in a terminal with no legal citizenship when his home country government falls to a rebellion. The movie milks this situation well for a while,…

  • hoboclips blog launched

    Not long ago I started using Bloglines to read blogs and various other internet sites of interest to me. A lot of sites I like are “Link Blogs” that mostly link to other interesting stuff with a little commentary. The hobolog is not that kind of blog, but Bloglines makes it easy to publish a…

  • Bouldering at the 420’s

    I forgot to ask why this place is called The 420’s. It’s a wide, forested meadow about 35 miles miles up the Poudre canyon, strewn with a variety of shapely granite boulders. There’s still a little ice and snow in the shadows, but when the sun came out this was a really nice place to…

  • Live Music: CSU Jazz Combo

    We almost skipped this performance, tired after a long work week, but I’m glad we didn’t. There’s something moving about the sense of potential in a student performance like this. There was no show business, no attention really at all to presentation, just six mismatched kids with their instruments on a stage. They launch into…

  • Movie: Spider-Man 2

    These movies are really good at taking me back to my childhood, when I sat enraptured by any cheesy Spider-man cartoon that came on the tube. I didn’t miss a single episode of the TV mini-series. Stan Lee has remained at the helm all this time, keeping it true to the original comic book story…

  • Anonymous Donation?

    Up until now, my associate links to Amazon (mostly from movie and book reviews) have generated one DVD sale, resulting in $0.72 for cyberhobo.net! BLING BLING! I never expected to get rich from these links which are really intended as a way to get more information about the subject of the post. So I was…

  • Movie: American Splendour

    A guy who knows R. Crumb decides to write a comic book about his life. This movie follows him from there, through his marriage, a bout with cancer, adoption of his daughter, and up to the movie itself. A fabulous bio, very original.
