Four Seasons Vancouver, BC TP

Four Seasons Vancouver, BC TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. Carly and I are up in Vancouver to run the 1/2 marathon tomorrow. The Four Seasons Hotel is the official race hotel, and had taken their TP folding seriously for runners.

Spammer: Associated Chiropractic Clinics & Medical Centers

Dr. Michael Dorfman of Associated Chiropractic Clinics & Medical Centers in Detroit, Allen Park, Southfield, and Waterford, MI appears to have hired the wrong SEO to do link building for his website, associatedclinics.com. How else can one explain comments like this on 5 year old blog post on this site: What are the issues here? [...]

Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel TP

This just in from Aaron Landry, who’s doing a little island hopping in Hawaii today. This place seems to bring it, whether they’re folding TP or serving orange juice.

The Wit Hotel Chicago, IL TP

The Wit Hotel Chicago, IL TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. I woke up on the morning after Easter in a bit one blur. Carly had coffee on, and was running around the house preparing for a work trip after getting in a morning run. I skipped the run, but also had a work trip to [...]

Sheraton Madison, WI TP

Sheraton Madison, WI TP, originally uploaded by edkohler. I’m not sure if the protesters in Madison lowered the TP folding standards in this town, but something went seriously wrong at the Sheraton. To make matters worse, this happened on the club floor of the Sheraton, where the Koch crowd is most comfortable. By the way, [...]

A Few Thursday Thoughts

Why do we see lists of best schools and worst schools rather than best teachers? Sure, there may be some correlation, but I have a hunch that students would generally do better if they had the best teacher in an underperforming school than the worst teacher in a high performance school. Does the environmental impact [...]

How Much is That Sweater Worth? It Depends on Your Income

While there are many strange things in the federal tax code, one thing that I find particularly strange is how donations are valued. The strange part about it is that the same item will take on different values depending on who gives it away. For example, let’s say that a married couple filing jointly with [...]

Run Minneapolis: Stevens Square, Loring Heights, Wedge

Carly and her parents joined me for a run through Stevens Square to Lake of the Isles with a bonus tour on Groveland to the Walker Art Center. Starting at the sound wall along 4th Ave S at 24th, we headed west toward Lake of the Isles. Washburn Fair Oaks Park was starting to green [...]

Yellow Pages vs. Direct Mail Opt-Out Competence

It’s interesting to watch how yellow pages directory supporters justify their industry’s incompetence. Here is a recent example from the comments of one of my videos on YouTube. As a refresher, here’s the video, followed by the most recent comments: Here’s the start of the latest exchange: Just another whacko? fighting the good fight. Do [...]
