Vintage Woods I’ve decided that a man can’t have enough hobbies or collections of things. For that reason I have decided that I will focus the rest of my energies for this decade to become the midwest’s largest collector of vintage golf clubs. Specifically, vintage woods that are actually made of wood. This all came …

Terror Futures Market Closed Well that didn’t take long. Only 24 hours after I posted about the Terrorism Futures Market, the story has bounced all over the world and come back to slap the Pentagon straight across the face. In effect, they have pulled the plug on the terrorism market. I guess the idea market …
It looks like Blogger finally rolled out a Blog This link that works now with all browsers including the one I use – Safari. So this is me testing it out to see if it works.
Children of The Corn Glorious and perfect, ripe within an inch of exploding, Minnesota Sweet Corn has returned to our dinnertime tables. Whether gently grilled over hot coals or dropped in a pot of boiling water for three minutes, the end product gets slathered with butter, sal, and a bit of cayenne pepper – making …
JTB Always On This is the kind of medicinal story I like to read the morning after I’ve been drinking Labatt Blue Big Cans and singing along to JTB songs at the Avenue. A great time on all fronts. Today, I am frantically trying to get some client work done before taking the afternoon off …

More Type Delights Whew. Typecon2003 finally came to a close yesterday. My brain hurts from being stabbed repeatedly with so many pointy serifs, arching ligatures and retro dingbats. Letterforms have so painfully taken over and squeezed themselves into every vacant fold of grey matter that not a sign or billboard goes by that doesn’t call …
TypeCon 2003 Underway My head is already spinning from all the type talk, ideas, and debate flying around the type conference. As a rank amateur and someone with bad credentials, I have found that my role at the conference is to show the out-of-towners the wonders and delectable of our fine city. So I take …
Minnesota Street Scripts Exhausted and drained today. Thank god I have Frankie Stubbs on the hi-fi belching from the gutter. He’s trying his hardest to wake me up. Go Frankie. Already several pots of coffee into the day. Yesterday was another top notch summer day and I spent the better part of it biking all …
