Fire in Tahoe!

A huge fire is burning near South Lake Tahoe, which started on Sunday and will hopefully be contained within the next few days. This area is near and dear to my heart, as we made several trips to the area for skiing, gambling, drinking, and bachelor party-ing.

CNN has a map of what areas are/were burning, which I used to create my first ever Google "My Map"

Come on Down!

KDWB is paying Dave Ryan too much if he can afford to drop 19 grand on Bob Barker's mic from The Price is Right...

YouTube + How To = 5min

As much as I love YouTube, I am usually dumber after spending time there.

Which is why I was so excited to read about 5min in Iconowatch...

Another clever name would have been HowTube, but that appears to be an infrequently-updated podcast about how to do stuff with your Mac.

Which leads me to something I've been thinking about for awhile... Is there any good way to learn about "sites like this" on the web? For example, I type in Google and it spits back Yahoo, Ask, MSN, etc. Or I type in Facebook and it spits back MySpace, Bebo, Xanga, etc.

Those are obvious examples, but how often do you learn about some fancy new website (hopefully from me) and wonder if there's another website that does the same/similar thing? Surely something like that exists...

What I don't understand is that compared to most of my friends, I'm in the know. So if I'm in the know, then you're really in the know...yet we obviously stumble across these websites after thousands have already published material to them.

Is it a Midwest thing? Will we ever be the first upload of the next YouTube?

I love reading your blog.. but I'm starting to get bored with the 'hunt with your mouse for the links'-game... Updating that any time soon? ;op

MN Loves Shopping

Watching a Rocketboom video about the Mall of America taught me lots...

Southdale was the world's first climate-controlled mall, and
has only been open 50 years (I would have guessed malls were older)
A mini golf course is opening at the MOA in July
There is a red chair from Met Stadium hanging on the wall in the park (I thought only the home plate indicated what was there before the mall)
Phase II is going to nearly double the size of the mall
The website for Phase II includes a cheesy video and photos you have to download to actually see, but
at least it has RSS!

There actually used to be a mini golf course (complete with mountain)in MOA in the same spot. Then it closed and Cereal World (among other things) moved in. Just like famous philosopher Justin Timberlake says, "What goes around, comes back around."

If you're a true Twins fan, you should know the significance behind the red chair hanging on the wall.

I haven't checked this in awhile...but I see you did update today. Glad to see from the pics that you still call/hang out with some of your friends.

Been awhile since I last checked your blog... but then I see I haven't missed much. Still got the blue on blue thing going -- and you went (what appears to be) several weeks without posting anything new! What's that about?? Hope to see more from you soon...
