Apophenia – Seeing Patterns that Don’t Exist
I first heard the word ‘apophenia’ in Moira Gunn’s interview with William Gibson almost a year ago. Since then, it’s meaning has come to mind more than a couple times – though I had forgotten the word itself. In each instance, I’ve Googled for what bits of the word I could remember – yet came …

How to Build a Business from Podcasting
“I spent the better part of last year trying to envision a business built on podcasting, and didn’t come up with anything that I believed in.” – Dave Winer Like Dave and so many others, I’ve done the same thing and ended up with the same conclusion. Recently on the PodcastMN mailing list the conversation …

Amazing Race 8 – Episode 7
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 …

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.
