Early Morning SportsLet’s just say that my favorite time for watching sports is between the hours of 6AM and 9AM. I wish all sporto events took place during this perfect time of the day. Last year I had the World Cup bright and early, now it’s the French Open. If every day could start with …

The Idealist I just got the latest snap book of Glen E. Friedman’s. It’s called The Idealist: Twenty Years in My Eyes and it is so damn nice. And beautiful. I could stare at is all day long. Poking around a bit, I found a page of Glenn’s called Recent Rolls, which displays some massive …
Minnesota ResourcesIt’s been over two long months since the last trimming of the locks. I’m beginning to look like a bad extra from That 70’s Show. It’s time to go in again. This time I went online to find the right spot. I ended up at the Hair Police. Where I could actually browse through …
Follow UpsAfter my post about Terrorist Alert Orange and the harassment I received for taking public domain snaps on public property, I received a ton of helpful links from peeps about my rights as a photographer. The best one comes via kottke.org and explains “Your Rights When Stopped or Confronted for Photography“. Unfortunately, I’m not …
God Hates Dangling ModifiersThis morning while watching the second round of the French Open on ESPN2, I feasted on some Limited Edition Incredible Hulk Cereal. It’s basically like Corn Pops cereal punctuated with Hulk inspired marshmallow combinations. There’s a beaker shaped marshmallow that is supposedly half filled with the mystery chemical that turns Bruce Banner …

New Day Rising Boy, it could not be any more beautiful outside today. What a great memorial day weekend. Tons of sun, tons of fun. There must be thousands of students pleading with their teachers to hold class outside today. So good to unplug for a few days. I went to my first ever traditional …
Friday Turns to SaturdayWell I got to say, after witnessing the amazing South Dakota inspired, plain swept performance by Kid Dakota last night at the uptown bar, I am looking forward with glee and possibility to later bar closing times on the streets of Minneapolis. Sometimes, when the music is good and the drinking is …
Henry RollinsI was lurking at Border’s books last night trying to find Zeldman’s new book but I came up empty because it either hadn’t arrived yet or they already sold the few copies they had on hand. I asked a horribly annoyed clerk if they had Glenn E. Friedman’s book The Idealist, which came back …
TypeCon 2003 I’m getting all fired up over the upcoming Typecon 2003 conference that is quickly approaching. Last night I finally had a chance to look over the names of the speakers coming to Minneapolis and realized that I didn’t know a great deal of them or their work. The typecon2003 site where the list …
