Funny. I drive from Ft Collins, to the same Broomfield he's talking about (yay Colorado).
I love my 50 minute commute. I use it to listen to podcasts and music. It gives me time to unwind and think. And most importantly, it came along with a raise that more than makes up for the monetary costs of driving.
I'd love a mass transit or car pooling solution, but I haven't run across a viable one yet.
Anyway, I really like my commute. Although, we'll see how it goes in the winter as roads get gross sometimes.
I agree that technology has eased the psychological pain (if not the financial impact) - between podcasting, audio books, streaming music, voice journalling and calling friends, my drive is something I look forward to.
