Sometimes I come across blog comments that are just a bit too generic. They’re complimentary, but don’t mention anything specific to the topic of the post. When this happens, there is a good chance the comment is a piece of spam. Here’s an example: It’s certainly polite, although it also says nothing related to the [...]
Westin TP – San Francisco, originally uploaded by edkohler. Quick update on the Westin TP scene. Again, they’re now folding it in a uniform manner, but this time it looks like their may be some rhyme to the reason. I think they’d call this their “style” or something. Not sure.

46th & 46th Condos Action, originally uploaded by edkohler. Just saw some action at the long-stalled 46th & 46th condo project near Minnehaha Falls. Looks like they’re removing the showroom.

That’s what locals in the mountains refer to flatlanders who come to visit and end up staring at the peaks. That was me on Saturday from the deck of Rustler’s Lodge at Alta ski resort. A beautiful view [...]
Back in the day, Lewis & Clark stopped at a place called Cannon Beach to barter with the local Native Americans for some whale meat. Apparently, they had recently landed a 105 foot whale on the shore. And now, it’s home to a cute strip of shops that pretty much take care of my housing, [...]
Minneapolis, Minnesota based widget and mobile application developers, DoApp, is climbing the rankings of the Apple iPhone store with their myLite Color Strobe and Flashlight application. It’s quickly moved from 47th to 14th among free applications since Monday. Impressive. So, what is it? Here’s a video someone shared on YouTube showing off the application: DoApp’s [...]
Quick question: What could you do faster? Teach someone how to win a game of solitaire: Or solve a Rubik’s Cube? Clearly, solitaire is a much easier game to comprehend since the rules are almost immediately obvious. A Rubik’s Cube, by comparison, is much more complicated and takes more advanced problem solving strategies to master. [...]
This is pretty pathetic. The StarTribune reports that a real estate agent in Minnetonka, Charles Lindsey with Realtech (now no longer licensed), was abusing his professional access to for-sale homes to raid medicine cabinets for pain killer medications. He and his wife Mary appear to be partners in real estate. They explain on their website [...]
