Jen and I like vacationing in Europe – our heritage pretty much dictates it. We don’t really care when we go. We’ve got a general idea of what we want tickets to cost and are happy to build a vacation around that price. As Dave points out the “I don’t care when, just how much” …

I received the preview password to EdgeIO.com today, Mike Arrington‘s new project to aggregate all blog posts using the tag ‘listing’ at a single site, all organized and such as you’d expect from a classifieds site. Since I’m trying to sell a house and blogging about it, seemed like a perfect opportunity to test it …

As you might have heard, we finally got winter here in the upper Midwest. Not the Christmas-fluffy-white-snow-perfect-for-skiing-and-hot-cocoa-winter, the death-to-all-who-venture-out-of-doors winter.
