About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
First off, I never contributed millions (or even thousands) to public radio. A couple hundred bucks here and there. And I know a couple people employed by the Minnesota Public Radio. Heck, I even helped them usability test their site a while back. Kinda fun sitting on the other side of the desk. That said, …

Since I won’t be making it to the SXSW, I’ve been waiting all year for this. Anxiously checking and re-checking the SXSW website like a kid at Christmas. I even ‘bookmarked’ the page like it’s 1998. Then, today, it arrived. This year’s 2.5GB BitTorrent of showcase musicians (and 667MB of film trailers if you prefer). …
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 …
Let’s say you bought the house we’re selling in St. Anthony Village. If you did, you wouldn’t be a Minneapolitan – you’d be a Villager. St. Anthony Village is it’s own 3-square mile city – St. Anthony, MN to be specific. Yes, NE is in address and the post office will deliver to a 2701 …

There’s been a few parties interested in our house, I’m surprised to learn from our agent how unstructured, the agent-to-agent feedback process is. Sounds like the listing agent has to initiate the contact with the showing agent, rather than the showing agent providing it by default. As a seller, I want to know what prospective …

“Weyco and Scotts Miracle-Gro, based in Marysville, Ohio, are in the vanguard of a growing effort by business to brake soaring medical costs by regulating such unhealthy employee behavior as smoking” Health coverage as a benefit of employment no longer makes sense – financially for employers or employees. Expecting employers to foot the bill and …

Aside from the thinly-sliced lamb, the rest of the ingredients were German; cabbage inside stuffed in a quarter of the circular flatenbrot. In Minneapolis, there’s only one place to get a good gyro – …
