Here’s an example of Wikipedia at its worst and best. First, someone using a Minnetonka based Comcast account (rather than a username or real name) decided to wipe out all of the content on Tom Emmer’s Wikipedia page: Reason? “Campaign literature. Not factual.” While I agree that some of the content did read like campaign [...]
Graham Lampa shot a quick video this morning showing how to check out a NiceRice bike. It took him just over 2 minutes to pay and check out a bike while holding his iPhone. As Graham mentions in the video, he was planning to ride from near Lund’s in Northeast to Al’s Breakfast in Dinkytown. [...]
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency breaks down how your taxpayer dollars are being spent cleaning up the yellow pages industry’s mess (annually) Generation and management The MPCA estimates that 13,000 tons of phone books were distributed in Minnesota in 2006; nearly 13 pounds per household (based on 2005 population estimates). * Recycling. Telephone directories are [...]
Bet: Yellowbook will spam my house with yet another print directory in the summer of 2011. I unsubscribed in 2008, yet still received their print spam in 2009 and 2010. They have a track record of incompetence that I have no reason to believe will change in 2011.
I’m trying to figure out the Hart Skis news about the company relocating from Wayzata, MN to Ogden, UT. At a high level, it sounds like they want to move to an area that’s closer to other ski companies and near where the freestyle skiing community is bigger. If I watch the Utah news, I [...]
The NY Times has a piece out this week titled Borrowers Refuse to Pay Billions in Home Equity Loans that has some really choice quotes from frustrated lenders. The piece is written from the perspective of lenders who are dealing with extraordinarily high levels of home foreclosures. They’re not happy. Here’s an example quote: “When [...]

The next time you find yourself wheezing after climbing Ramsey Hill in St. Paul, take a look to the left at Summit and Heather to see that crime pays . . . until it doesn’t. That’s the house that 16 years of embezzlement helped buy for attorney (well, former attorney) Michael Margulies. He put a [...]
I got around to watching the confrontation between Sarah Palin and an Alaskan teacher who called out Palin on quitting the job she swore to do because the money was just too good to actually live up to that promise. Dan Amira at NY Mag has this take on the exchange starting just after 1 [...]
Ever seen a white collar crime map? No? Me neither. As I see it, Ponziconomy fraudsters manage to steal way more money than petty thieves combines. Big time thievin’. Why don’t their neighborhoods get the credit they deserve for being home to big time criminals? So I figured I’d kick it off here. So far, [...]
