Unfortunately, Mondays are an inevitable price we pay for simply being alive. Because life without Wi-Fi is increasingly rare, however, that first day of the week back at work is a little more bearable, no matter what type of office you use.
Here are some tips for how to put your nearest Wi-Fi hotspot to good use, whether the results are actually helpful or if they just bring a smile to your face.
All behold the glory of the weekend! That window of opportunity when you can kick off your heavy work boots and slip on your relaxation, exploration, Sunday Funday party shoes.

We all love the ‘80s, so why not enjoy this iconic Michael J. Fox flick with your friends and family. The movie screen along with various vendors will be at the west side of Huston Lake Park from 5 p.m. up until showtime at 8:30. So bring your chairs, blankets, picnic baskets, a couple of beers, snacks, and whatever else you need to have a great evening watching Marty McFly get hit on by his mom. // 5 p.m., Free, Huston Lake Park, 850 S.

Today is a wonderful day for geeks. Today is the day to play Dungeons and Dragons out in the open with no apology. Today is the day to hold the never-ending Picard versus Kirk debate (hint: Picard totally kicks ass). Today is the day to dress up as Sailor Moon, binge Doctor Who, speak Klingon to your mom and play Quidditch to your heart’s content! Today is Embrace Your Geekness Day.
Yes, today is the day where the geeks come out of their dungeons and let their geek flags fly. And what better place to celebrate your geekness than in Colorado (aka the fifth nerdiest state in America)? Colorado is just the right kind of environment for the geek community to flourish, but it’s not always easy to find other geeks so ya’ll can get your geek on like the Fallout 4 gameplay trailer is premiering.
That’s why, on this very special day, we’ve put together a guide to expose you to Colorado’s finest geek gatherings. So, without further delay, I present to you: The Geek’s Guide to Colorado: Embrace Your Geekness.
Chris Herndon – Guy Most Likely
District 11 City Councilman Herndon’s a bit of a pro-learner: He has a bachelor’s degree from West Point, a master’s in management from Webster University, a fellowship at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard and earned a master’s in public administration from the University of Colorado Denver – plus, a certificate in Lean Six Sigma. He knows … a lot. He’s also on the fast-track: He was elected by his peers in July to serve as City Council president for the year ahead – a reboot for a city councilman of three years (or maybe you’d just call it a system update). This guy is all sorts of #Winning.
