Improving Our Home’s Energy Efficiency
I recently gave Centerpoint Energy a ring and asked if they could pull the records on what Carly and I have been paying for natural gas used in our home over the time we’ve owned it. CenterPoint provides up to 15 months of data on their website (login required) but will print and mail larger [...]

This place has dual flush toilets, eco-flow faucets, RFID room keys, gigantic pillows, and damn fine TP folding. A winning combination.
Absentee Owner Issues: The Data Challenge
Slumlords have an information advantage over people who give a crap about their community. For example, the Hennepin County property website provides information on individual properties, but doesn’t allow people to cross-reference by owner. Once a problem property is identified, it would be valuable to be able to cross reference other properties owned by the [...]
Did Marty Seifert Buy Luke Hellier’s Twitter Love?
Back on January 17th, Luke Hellier mentioned on Minnesota Democrats Exposed that Rep. Marty Seifert bought some ad space on MDE in order to reach the painfully misinformed crown (and those that like to poke fun at them [or something like that]).

Charmin & Duracell in Times Square

The @mdetweets @lukehellier Twitter Echo-Chamber
This tweet from @fakebrodkorb (aka Charlie Quimby) cracked me up:
Charlie reads Luke Hellier’s tweets so we don’t have to. After stumbling upon particularly redundant Twitter behavior, he dropped that comment. So, what was Charlie referring to? It started with this tweet from Luke Hellier at 12:29pm on January 15th:
Within the same minute, Luke Hellier twittered [...]
Bonus Beer
This is bonus beer. After having a beer at a bar with a tuna sandwich in New York City, I gave the bartender my credit card. However, before swiping me card, she grabbed my empty beer glass and pulled half a Brooklyn Lager. Nice gesture, eh?

According to Obama Pepsi, it’s 2010 in Times Square.
Okay, old news.
