An article in the Denver Post today mentions comments from Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe indicating that Colorado will depart after this year and join the Pac-10 in 2011 rather than 2012. I’ve gotta admit, the Pac-12 starting in 2012 had a nice symmetry to it, but it’s probably better for all involved that it happen sooner rather than later.
Here is a collection of several video clips (taken with an iPhone 4 wedged against the windshield) of our drive Saturday up and down the white-knuckle Mount Evans Road, which climbs to 14,130 feet. The “soundtrack” is the music that we were playing on our car stereo, mostly an assortment of patriotic songs (with a dash of Billy Joel thrown in), all at Loyette’s request. :) You can also hear Loyette and Loyacita in the background, as well as a few bits of commentary by Becky (driving) and me (passenging). Anyway:
The video is HD, so it should look quite good if blown up to full screen, though you may need to manually change the “360p” to “720p.”

I haven’t followed the WikiLeaks story very closely, but my impression is the substance of the “revelations” has been fairly thin. If so, I question the decision to leak and publish. Leaking classified info has its time and place, but ethically requires strong justification. You don’t just leak 10,000 secret documents for the hell of it, if they don’t really reveal anything new.
