  • Need A Bumper Sticker

    I just recently read an article that dogs are as smart as children. I\’ve maintained that my dog Luna (that\’s her on the left) is as smart as a five year old. It truly is like living with a small human. So this story comes as no surprise to me… although saying even the smartest…

  • Just Throw Me The Damn Swatches

    I am currently enjoying a lazy Saturday morning watching some mindless television when I wander past A&E and the on screen display says: \”Keyshawn\”. Um… what? On A&E? So I hit the info button and I get: \”Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design\”. What is even more frightening is that he seems to actually know what he\’s…

  • Career \”Advice\”

    When I log out of hotmail I am unceremoniously dumped onto MSN.com. Basically that is my excuse for \”accidentally\” reading about Britney Spears or the latest between Rihanna and Chris Brown.

    As I was checking something out on Wikipedia today I had a random thought about the game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Could I get to Kevin Bacon on Wikipedia from the page I was currently on? Let\’s find out.

  • Reflections on Terminator Salvation

    WARNING: Spoilers ahead. Turn back if you do not want to know plotlines (or holes in plotlines) from Terminator Salvation. You have been warned.

  • Twins Apologists

    Actually, I should actually open that title up and call it \”Minnesota Sports Franchise Apologists on Startribune.com\”. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is I was reading a recap of a Twins chat with Joe C in today\’s Strib, and he started getting a little snippy with some of the comments. I\’ve seen the…

  • Click-it or Ticket

    Minnesota was the latest state to implement a law that allows police officers to pull you over for not wearing your seatbelt. This may seem odd to some as there has been a seatbelt law on the books for several years now.
