Love 105? Hate it!
I was driving home yesterday and flipped on my usual first choice in FM radio, Drive 105. It\’s an alternative station that isn\’t the best station, but here in the Twin Cities FM radio pretty much sucks. At any rate, they were playing a song from Offspring, which I thought was pretty odd. Their staples…

Tabs
My license tabs are up at the end of this month, and I recently received my bill from the state. The good news is that now that my car is 8 years old, my bill went down 40 bucks! The more interesting news is that on the bill it tells me to go to: www.mndrivinfo.org.…

What I Do
Have you ever had to explain what you do for a living, beyond your title, to someone? For seven years after I graduated from college, the answer to that question was, \”I\’m a consultant\”.

I recently entered the new millenium by joining Blockbuster Online and getting movies delivered straight to my home (what a coun-try! </Yakov Smirnoff>). I love movies, but my spouse doesn\’t. So for that past several years my movie consumption has taken a nosedive, but on top of that there are plenty of movies prior to…

Viral Videos
I really… really really really… do not like the term \”Viral Videos\”. Why? I don\’t know… A … A is for the abom…oops, sorry, force of habit. Anyway, I bring up Viral Videos because one I just came across which I\’m sure is circling the planet as we speak is Alanis Morissette singing Fergie\’s \”My…

The Dark Side of Socialism
No, that isn\’t the title of Pink Floyd\’s new album. It came to my mind after reading this article. The Reader\’s Digest version is that a couple in Sweden is trying to name their baby girl \”Metallica\”. What stuck me about this article is that they are \”trying\” to name their baby. In America you…

I\’ve ranted before on how much I can\’t stand Star Tribune columnist/blogger Katherine Kersten, but sometimes she makes a good point.
