If you're unfamiliar with the Tech Center ( aka DTC) area of Denver, and looking to decide where to stay, and where to dine, this guide is for you.

Home to many national technology companies, and the hub of Colorado's telecommunications industry, DTC is a blend of steel, glass and green space, expanding for several miles. It's a driving place, like most Tech Centers, and is gene...

For the uninitiated, Curling probably comes off like an exotic game, akin to wild boar hunting or street luge. This guide aims to demystify the ancient northern sport of Curling, one of the great games of Olympians. Long thought of as a Canadian sport, its roots are actually in Scotland in the early 1500's. Today, Canada is the world's most advanced Curling country (stats below), and hosts the annual Briar, considered to be the premier annual Curling Bonspiel. There is a World Curling Champ...

So, ol' Johnny picked himself a mate, and it was quite a surprise. In the increasingly probable chance he may need to "continue the hunt", this guide can help him focus the selection committee work. Some may not pass the vetting process, but I guess that isn't too critical. Feel free to pile on!
