1. When you wrote a headline that said, “DFL TAKES STAND AGAINST ISRAEL” based on a Tweet that said, “The DFL Progressive Caucus unanimously passed my resolution . . .” were you purposefully lying or just plain wrong? 2.

A Good Day for Google, originally uploaded by edkohler. Google hooked me up with some free WiFi at the Milwaukee airport and stopped censoring search results in China in reaction to some government shenanigans today. That sort of stuff makes my life a little bit better. This is on top of a conversation I had [...]
Taylor sent over this video with the comment “have you seen this” with no further comment. I started watching it wondering what it was about this video that prompted that action from Taylor and found it at 7 minutes.

This is part 2/2 of my 26th & 28th Street run from East to West to East across Minneapolis. Part I, 26th St, is here. Lake of the Isles was the turnaround. This is a shot looking North near 28th St. Grace Trinity Community Church is at the corner of 28th & Humboldt is a [...]
Roald Marth flew all the way to Tokyo to take this TP shot at the Hotel Nikko Narita. Actually, I believe this was part of a TP photography stopover on the way to Thailand, but the thought still counts. Looks inconsistent, but that’s common among Double Troubles.
While Joe is trying to convince me to use print yellow pages for local business information, the company he apparently works for seems to see a future for itself in other markets.

Names & Numbers is a yellow pages company based in Kansas that drops print yellow pages books on properties in the South Central United States and the Pacific Northwest.
