MPR has an excellent piece on the trial today. Bob Collins follows up with more, including comparisons between blogging and mainstream journalism. Sheila Regan wrote about Day 1 of the trial for the TC Daily Planet. Abby Simons did a pre-trial write-up for the StarTribune. And Joe Tevlin wrote a column for the Strib about [...]
I had a chance to check out the Jerry Moore vs. John Hoff (aka Johnny Northside) trial today. It tied in well with getting my license renewed at the DMV. There is nothing like waiting until the last minute to do that downtown. Here’s what I saw: Jerry Moore appears to be suing Hoff over [...]
Yesterday, I wrote about an employee from the Yellowbook print yellow pages spam company that has been harassing me on YouTube. I pointed out that, in addition to being a jerk, he has literally peed on a competitor’s office and left blatantly racist comments on a competing yellow pages directory company’s YouTube videos. After doing [...]
There are some really strange people on the internet. Among the strangest I’ve seen are employees of yellow pages directory spammer, Yellowbook. For example, I’ve recently been receiving harassing comments on a YouTube video I posted in July, 2009 titled “Yellowbook Yellow Pages Opt-Out FAIL” where I collected Yellowbooks that my neighbors hadn’t bothered to [...]
This past Friday, I wrote a post regarding a 3-minute segment of Don Allen and Ron Edwards’ “ON POINT!” web based talk show where I, among other things, quoted a comment from Don Allen, where he stated: “… Minnpost sometimes scratches the StarTribune’s back …” David Brauer commented on that here, saying, “While I’m not [...]
Don Allen of Poopgate Fame’s web based talk show is a fascinating thing to listen to. While one can listen live to the narrowcast, it’s much better as a podcast so you can pause and rewind when you hear stuff that makes your head hurt. For example, here is a 3 minute segment that contains [...]
Sheraton Cavalier, Calgary, AB TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. The difference between a Sheraton and a Westin (both higher end Starwood properties) is that you’d never see an unwrapped TP roll in a Westin room.
My recent stay at a Hilton in Winnipeg has generated an example of what not to do when soliciting feedback from customers. Let me start by saying that this hotel is fine. It’s close to the airport and has conference rooms, which were probably the criteria used to book an event there that I spoke [...]
Paul Merrill of Stuff About Minneapolis fame checks in with a Stuff about Plymouth TP shot. Why was Paul Merrill in a Plymouth hotel room? He doesn’t say. Why was he in a Plymouth hotel room when he could have been at Duty’s enjoying a Dago? Again, he doesn’t say. A metropolitan man of mystery, [...]
I’ve written about the North Minneapolis Blog Wars before, but one blog I haven’t mentioned before that’s tied into that mess is a site called the Jordan Hawkman Group. This site is, by far, the most ridiculous blog I’ve ever encountered in Minneapolis. I’m not going to link to it, but you can surely find [...]
