Minnebar-b-que
Regrettably, I’m on my way to the airport, but if you’re in Minneapolis today and looking for something fun to do, check out Minnebar-b-que down in Maple Grove. There is sure to be plenty of brats, some beer and maybe a tablet PC or 4: http://anyvite.com/4atmfqaioc

To The Jerk Who Broke Into My Car…

‘The Internet’ Playing In Minneapolis

10 Billion Songs
When the iTunes Store came out if you had told me that they would end up selling 10 billion songs you might have come across like a bit of an Austin Powers skit. But Apple has crossed 10 billion now in “staggering” fashion: http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/02/25itunes.html

Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants
I write a lot. There are the meanderings that appear on this site, the writing on the 318 TechJournal, more structured prose that goes into books (sometimes regrettably only slightly more structured), writing for clients, freelance writing, writing for other websites and even a bit of ghost writing here and there.
