Looks like the Detour is painting wheels or hauling bamboo (needless to say, I’m not paying as close attention as other weeks). Loading bamboo seems much less tedious than painting wooden wheels. We’ve watched enough Amazing Race to know the game is won and lost at the airport – finding the right seat on the …

Say Hi to Cooper Roland Van Buren
Yes, as of 00:55 Nov 7 2005, yours truly is a officially a father. Light blogging ahead all across the gFeed universe. Well, everywhere except for Cooper’s Photo blog. 10 fingers, 10 toes, eyes like black olives, and just a tinge of strawberry blonde hair.
Tuesday’s Triple Play – The Robots We Love and Hate
Sony’s dog is just the first step in machines taking over – via our hearts. This week’s triple play is dedicated the androids so near to us me must destroy them. “Small Wonder” from the Vandals’ Fear of a Punk Planet “Todd the T1000” from Jonathan Coulton’s Our Bodies, Ourselves, Our Cybernetic Arms “My Girlfriend’s …

Power of Podcasting #4 – Thats a Scion – Maybe Kris is in Town
As you know, I’m a big fan of Kris and Betsy’s Croncast. A while back, Kris bought a Scion xB. In a recent episode, Betsy commented how the car fits Kris. How it’s the right car for him and who he is. It’s still a unique enough vehicle round these parts that I notice each …

Moose and Sadies Almost Best Coffee Shop in Warehouse District
A couple years back I spent a good chunk of time in Minneapolis’ Warehouse District. Aside from convenience (it’s right between downtown and NE) it’s got a nice comfortable, creative vibe to it. Unfortunately, there’s not a hands down winner for a good cup of coffee. If you prefer coffee mixed with single speed bikes …

Who Listens If Everyones Podcasting?
Local NBC affiliate KARE11 came by this morning to talk podcasting and we continued the ‘who’s the audience when everyone publishes?’ conversation. I don’t think this is a question about too much stuff to pay attention to, it’s a question about ownership of the publication process. Traditionally, recording companies, television stations, newspaper publishers had an …
Our Memories Are Poor, Measure in Context
“It isn’t as astonishing the number of things I can remember, as the number of things I can remember that aren’t so” – Paine, Mark Twain: A Biography, 1912 This Sunday, the Vikings are playing the Lions. I’m confident they’ll be keeping score throughout the game. Yard by yard, play by play. Rather than having …

Amazing Race 8 – Episode 6
We’re just past the first commercial break and nothing interesting to report, other than the bickering irritation of road-weary families. Blah. Wait, they’re visiting Costa Rica’s Doka Estate Coffee Plantation. Totally makes up for it. Roadblock: Find the red coffee bean Jen: “Digging through 800lbs of green coffee beans, that’s all you babe.” Detour: Relic …
Sex And Podcasting Replaced With 43Folders
I got word this weekend that Mike O’Connor has closed up shop on this community podcasting site – Sex and Podcasting. I’ll miss S&P – haven’t listened to the Geezercast, and love the premise. This means there’s an opening on my gPod. No worries, it was quickly filled by Merlin Mann’s 43Folders podcast. Merlin had …
