Milk & Porn Convenience Stores

I haven’t studied this thoroughly, but I’m pretty sure Reidy’s Market on 42nd Ave S at 39th St E has the largest selection of porn mags in the Longfellow Neighborhood. This got me thinking: Where else in the Twin Cities can you find extensive porn selections and milk in the same store? Sure, Sex World [...]

Giving a Crap on the Fly

Giving a crap doesn’t take much time. Small efforts really do add up. For example, Johnny Northside called in some deadbeat landlords from his cell while out for a caffeine pickup: Of course, making 311 calls wasn’t the PURPOSE of my walk. In fact, I was just going to the grocery store. But I don’t [...]

Peak Bladder

I turned 35 today, which is a kind of meaningless milestone. For at least 10 years now, I’ve been able to legally drive, vote, drink and rent a car. And I jumped the gun on my first free prostate exam due to a family history, so I achieved no major milestone that I’m aware of [...]

Bacon Waffles at Birchwood Cafe

Buckwheat waffles sound a little dry for my taste, but throw a fried egg and oversized bits of thick cut bacon on top and things went from zero to delicious in a hurry.

Which MN Company Has the Highest Douchebag Concentration?

LinkedIn has a Key Statistics along the right column of their business profile pages where they show which schools a company’s employees attended. I suppose this information could be used to get a feel for what type of people work for a given company. Whether that really happens, I don’t know. Douchebags So, what does [...]

Twitter Powered Ads: Invented In Minnesota

Three months ago to the day, I posted here about a new ad format on The Deets called Real-Time Ads where businesses can update their ads at any time from their cell phone or computer by simply sending in a message to Twitter. Since then, I can tell you that this stuff works. In fact, [...]

Metromix’s Role as a Host for Spammers

It looks like the standards are painfully low for Metromix account registration. For example, a comment spammer hitting this site is trying to drive traffic to a profile page on the Chicago Metromix site: This Metromix user happens to go by the name, “The Lowest Prices on Viagra.” This account was set up in February, [...]

Minnesota’s New Golf Show: The Craig Show

No Gimmies The Craig Show launched today. What’s that? A new locally produced online golf show for people who think golf can be an enjoyable sport. Craig is local golfer, Craig Teiken, who has some strong opinions about golf’s stuffiness, reliance on gadgets, and worthless teaching fads. In some ways, this reminds me of what [...]

LiveGreenTwinCities.com Looks at the Yellow Pages Problem

Molly Priesmeyer put together a great article for LiveGreenTwinCities.com about the yellow pages spam problem from an environmental perspective. We can save forest, unclog landfills, and cut back on the carbon it takes to make and deliver unwanted phone books by simply not delivering them to people who no longer want them. Green Star: Meet [...]

The Southwest Effect on MSP

Flyspy’s current chart of flights between Minneapolis (MSP) and Chicago’s Midway Airport (MDW) illustrates the Southwest Effect: Things get interesting on March 8th. Flyspy continues to impress the crap out of me. Especially their Need Miles page where I can see how much it costs to go to a wide variety of destinations from MSP [...]
