As you may have read, the Roseville 4 movie theater on Larpenteur Ave is potentially closing down. Rainbow plans to expand into that space. This has gotten a lot of people worked up on Facebook, where there is a “don’t close the roseville 4!!!” group with 500+ members and a petition you can sign at [...]
I had to look up how to spell “Ponch” as in Ponch & John yesterday for a comment I wrote on Afterglide.com. Google is my spell checker of choice, so I typed in my best guess: Unfortunately, I was nowhere close, so Google had no idea what I was talking about. Luckily, I was able [...]
Something about the term “Energy Coffee” seems a bit redundant to me. Personally, I’ll just turn my Krups Grind & Brew to 11 if I want more kick from my beans, for others may prefer to pour a cup or this stuff after topping off their tanks. I haven’t tried the stuff, but ENERGYGURU from [...]
I’m no prude, but the idea of speaking at a seminar about RSS only to have a post about Silicon Valley escort services pop up in my Google Reader doesn’t turn me on. For that reason, I whipped together a filter for Valleywag that filters out the posts from their new sex columnist, Melissa Gira [...]
WCCO TV’s Jason DeRusha is sitting in for Don Shelby on his afternoon radio show today. I’m live blogging the 4-5pm segment. History in the making. Has someone live blogged WCCO radio before? I don’t think so. 4:00 My stereo doesn’t get AM, so I had to grab my GE FM/AM Clock radio with TWO [...]

For example, it can be very difficult to find out how long a house has been on the market, what the original listing price was, or when the property was repriced. As someone who works for a [...]
These are the people who call in to local radio shows and make the shows more valuable. The telephone version of blog commenting. 1. Dan from Woodbury on Dan Barreiro’s KFAN show 2. Undertaker Fred on T.D. Mischke’s AM 1500 show 3. Carl Gerbschmidt on Barreiro 4. “Allan” on just about every political talk show [...]
Are not found here. Apparently, there are a lot of celebrity sex photo obsessed people on the Internet today googling for pictures on Juno screenwriter and Oscar winner naked. Who would do something like that? Does it really come as a surprise that someone with a blog called Pussy Ranch, who’s worked as a stripper, [...]
Last night in St Paul, Minnesota, a group of local bloggers and members of the mainstream media got together to discuss ethics in new media. The event (considering it was in Minnesota on a Monday night) was heavily covered online with a 3000+ word live-blogging effort, a live stream, and plenty of Twitter users. That [...]
Paul Graham has an interesting post on forum & blog trolls where he explains the factors he thinks contributes to rude behavior by members. Anonymity plays a role, but so does the forum’s acceptable culture: The final contributing factor is the culture of the forum. Trolls are like children (many are children) in that they’re [...]
