Pizza Slice Bike Racks at Pizza Luce, originally uploaded by edkohler. A nice slice touch at the Pizza Luce in Hopkins along the Midtown Greenway. This is a vast improvement over the former Bakers Square. Not just the bike racks.
Cynthia Boyd recently reported on Minnpost about a poll finding that bottled water consumption by children varies by race. In fact, the poll found that black and Hispanic parents were 3X more likely to serve their children bottled water rather than tap. The poll took a look at why this may be happening: Reasons cited [...]
Bob Ingrassia has a post up on the Fast Horse blog about the painfully slow parking meters being installed in downtown Minneapolis. The post includes a video showing how long it takes between when money is inserted and a receipt is kicked out. Beyond the long delay, there is no feedback that the machine is [...]
Just over a year ago, I started snapping up some deals on Groupon and other related services, so it seems like a good time to look back on whether these deals are working for me or not. First, I went to Mint.com and looked up my spending on daily deal services: I’ve spent $1,387 on [...]

Today, I added Sheri Delich after she pled guilty to wire fraud and money laundering tied to the Cloud 9 Skyflats travesty in Minnetonka.

Stuff like this: Over that time, I’ve noticed that Klout has found me more Klout worthy. For those of you not familiar with Klout, it’s a site that tries to [...]
A friend of mine recently had her Facebook account hacked. The hacker then started contacting her friends through Facebook Chat with a request to have money sent to her through Western Union. In a nutshell, the person made up a story that she was stuck in London with her family, had been mugged, and needed [...]
