Yeah, SRSLY. And don't give me any of that TL;DR stuff either. Check it out. I must admit, this was pretty cool. … [Read more...]
Hey! CTMQ is IN a Museum!
I totally forgot about this; lost in the craziness that was the CTMQ site redesign. That's not to say I'm not proud of it. After almost 9 years of visiting almost 300 museums around Connecticut, I've finally made it in to a museum. In as in, "Part of a display." Yes, the Connecticut Historical Society … [Read more...]
TSTL’15.2: Haystack Mountain
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #2 Haystack Mountain State Park, Tower Norfolk May 24, 2015 My love for Norfolk is well-documented on this website. I love its goofy claim to fame - "The Icebox of Connecticut," its affinity for curling, its beautiful and eclectic "downtown," and its state parks. The … [Read more...]
Advertise on CTMQ
I've been creating CTMQ for 9 years. I've never had a single advertisement, nor have I wanted any. My audience grew along with my credibility, such as it is.

CT Hops for Hope Brewfest!
There are a lot of good things going on in CTMQ-land in 2015. This here brand new site redesign, talks with publishing houses, some good press, my 300th CT museum visit... But all those things combined pale in comparison to my involvement with the inaugural Connecticut Hops for Hope Brewfest. I am proud to be closely … [Read more...]
Welcome to the New CTMQ
Welcome to the new CTMQ. Don't be scared. I’ll try to keep this as brief as I can. A complete overhaul of the site was needed ever since mobile devices came onto the scene. The old site used a custom template designed in 2006. It was a beautiful thing back then. I came to love it and the way I built it. It was … [Read more...]
Burlington Hiking Challenges
Master of Burlington's Domain Burlington Trail Master/Vertical Mile/Century Club Programs I'm going to try my best to retrofit an old page into a new one. Bear with me. Back in the day, the (excellent) Burlington Land Trust put together what was known as the Burlington Trail Master Challenge. If you are the … [Read more...]
Bush Meadow Farm (Closed)
The Boy Who Stared at Goats Bush Meadow Farm, Union November 2009 Bush Meadow Farm ceased the little restaurant and cheese-making operation in 2012 or so and a decade later, it re-emerged as a sort of wedding and events venue. “Today? Oh, we’re gonna take a little drive up to Union.” Not exactly words … [Read more...]

TSTL’15.1: Talcott Mountain
The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #1 Talcott Mountain State Park, Heublein Tower Simsbury May 2, 2015 Here we go! I'm not sure I can complete this challenge with my sons, but I think I'm going to try. We started off with one of the more difficult climbs, so maybe that will motivate them. I told them that … [Read more...]
