Peter Fleck has been working on reviving a newsletter for the Seward Neighborhood in light of recent drop offs in local coverage caused by the death of two papers covering the community (Seward Profile and The Bridge). Check it out, and subscribe at http://sewardprofile.posterous.com/ By the way, if you haven’t heard of Posterous before, it’s [...]
I’ve never met Luke Hellier, and can’t say that I know the guy, but it seems pretty clear to me that he’s either lying or stupid when he tweets stuff like this about me: Why would I suggest that Luke Hellier is either lying or stupid? Because he’s basing his statement about me on this [...]
Minnesota Democrats Exposed is a fascinating website for those interested in seeing what blindly partisan attempts to tear down political opponents – rather than focus on the merits of their own party’s candidates for office – looks like. The main writer for the site these days is Luke Hellier, who seems like a lightweight version [...]
Paul Merrill broke down the redundancy of Strib comments regarding Vikings stadium talk yesterday, and I thought I’d ad my $0.02 on the ROI of public funding for professional sports entertainment stadiums. This is my Joe 6-Pack perspective: If team owners could make the case that community subsidized stadiums provided a positive return on a [...]
During a little back and forth in the comments over on yellow pages industry cheerleader, Ken Clark‘s blog, I tossed out the idea of taxing yellow pages companies a fee equivalent to what it costs municipalities to deal with the directories in the solid waste stream: Ken, the yellow pages industry dumps a tax burden [...]
Aaron flew all the way to Honolulu to capture this TP shot at Hokua. That’s a premium fold that lives up to the “casual elegance” lifestyle Hokua’s shooting for.

Based on the best seller lists, it seems like this skews to the South, with many of Amazon’s best selling sports fan watches tying [...]
1029 Bar’s Dress Policy, originally uploaded by edkohler. I wonder who the 1029 Bar is trying to stear away from their drinking establishment with this set of dress policies? Football jerseys, bling, sideways baseball caps, and long t-shirts seem to be acceptable when they’re on Church of Incarnation pull-tab playing honkies. It seems like a [...]
I had a chance to attend and present at the Other Future of News conference yesterday in Minneapolis. I learned a lot about what people within various local news organizations are experimenting with in order to continue to make a living within the news industry. My presentation was during the tech segment and focused on [...]
I did a tour of Garfield and Harriett Avenues from Franklin Ave to Minnehaha Creek this past week. The two blocks East of Lyndale are primarily residential with easy access to lots of restaurants and transit. It was interesting to see how the architecture changed along Garfield Ave. Near Franklin, there were some large homes [...]
