His name is Earl I was happy to see that light rail between Minneapolis and St Paul was approved by the legislature, although it seems the U of M isn't excited about shutting down Washington Ave to vehicle traffic. The article quotes a "veteran bus rider" named Wildcat Earl, which seems about as appropriate a name as Colt McCoy is for the quarterback at Texas. Labels: football, gophers, twincities

I've been touched I snapped up an 8GB iPod Touch during the latest Woot-Off, and it finally arrived today! This officially marks the beginning of Verizon vs AT&T signal quality and the BlackBerry vs iPod keyboard face-off... Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Song Chart Meme Back in the day, this blog was about explaining things to people. I was going to include links to old posts, but reading through them was taking too long - why did Blogger wait so long to add labels?!? Anyways, today's lesson is meme After receiving a couple e-mail fowards with song lyrcs distilled into some type of chart, I decided that this has to be a meme. As proof, this Flickr group has 886 images. Labels: flickr, music, wikipedia

Who's coming with me? I'm stoked about this year's Summerfest lineup - pretty sure I'm going to live in Wisconsin from 6/26 to 7/6. I created a public Google Calendar called 'Summerfest 2008' with the shows I want to see...  Labels: google, milwaukee, music

Blogging from my Curve I got a BlackBerry Curve from AT&T this afternoon, which I plan to try over the next month to see how I like a non-Windows Mobile smartphone - and if AT&T or Verizon has better service in Evanston/Hyde Park. I only signed up for voice & data, so we'll see if I can show off the 2 megapixel camera on this baby... Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T

Seriously The Director of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory spoke at Serious Play last week, and brought a replica of the Phoenix Rover (which lands on Mars in ten days) with him. A week ago, I didn't even know we had something hurtling through space, and now I'm following it on Twitter. Labels: play, science, twitter

These Kids Are Good I mentioned the Doodle 4 Google contest almost three months ago, and it has now come down to a public vote between 40 finalists! One of my mom's students was a state finalist, but was not chosen as one of the regional finalists. Nevertheless, there is some amazing work for you to vote on - these were my picks:  A Fish Swallowed a Google by Sean in West Virginia  Up in the Clouds by Grace in Washington  The Google Sign by Molly in New York  Live Music by Victoria in Texas Labels: art, contest, design, doodle, google

Save the Airlines Whenver I fly, I check in online ahead of time and print my boarding pass. Except for that one time, when I was camping in Yosemite and didn't have access to a computer, and ended up missing my flight and sleeping in a chair at SFO. But I digress... Since the boarding pass takes up less than one sheet of paper, it occurred to me that the airlines should sell advertising on the rest. A coupon for one of the many restaurants or retailers I walk past on the way to gate G92? Think of all the relevant impressions, given that I often double and triple check that I've got my boarding pass while packing. Doing my part to offset rising fuel costs... Labels: advertising, nwa

Happy Hour?
 Not sure what I'm trying to say here, but it's a slightly different message than my personalized M&M. [via] Labels: art, screenshot, twincities

Dozens of Cartwheels! Two years ago, I had the crazy idea of doing cartwheels during the Twin Cities Race for the Cure to raise money for breast cancer research. I did it again last year, and have raised nearly $1000 - one cartwheel at a time. Guess what? I'm doing it again.
