Minnesota Revenue Recapture Fee

Have you ever heard of a revenue recapture fee? Well it’s a fee that the state can take out of you state tax refund for outstanding bills. It’s a good idea as the state is entitled to their money, however the system is screwed up.

Google Goes Mac

Google added a little JavaScript and a little DHTML and created Google X. A new toy that imitates the dock in Mac OS X. Nice to see others getting enjoyment out of the Mac OS.

[Update] It appears to have been removed from Google It’s 4:30 CST and the link is now dead.

Spring Break Shuffle - Music for a Party

I was checking out the Spring Break Shuffle from the iTunes music store and this is one good playlist. It has everything from Big and Rich’s Save A Horse (Ride a Cowboy) (Dance Mix) to 50 Cent’s In da Club. Includes Kelly Clarkson’s Since You Been Gone and Justin Timberlake’s Rock Your Body. There is something in this mix for everyone and would be great music for any party. The 199 song playlist is available on iTunes for $117.81. However, you could just pick out the songs you really want and create your own iTunes Spring Break music.

Yahoo 2005

I’ve been trying to switch over to Yahoo for search and use some of their tools more and more. And I decided, to be fair, I should start up a new Yahoo account. I’ll keep my old one, but I’m starting a new one fresh. No spam, no nothing. I’m going to try and see how Yahoo feels as if I were just starting it up in 2005. Maybe that’ll help me check out all the features Yahoo has available.

Napoleon Dynamite Blows

We were told to see Napoleon Dynamite as it was a great movie, so we did. Well it wasn’t. No plot, no storyline, however good/odd characters. Maybe you need to watch it drunk or high or something other than what we were. I would recommend it to others though as I think it’d be funny to put them through it. Ha ha. ;) The saddest part is that there is a second one coming out about the brothers wedding and I may have to see it. It’s like a car accident. You know it’s bad but you still wanna see.

Free Advertising - Send Me Stuff

I was reading a blog post at Google Blogoscoped and it was talking about how, in Germany, companies are allowing people to acquire free products as long as the receiver takes a picture and writes a post about it in their blog. What a fantastic idea! Send me a 12 pack of Pepsi and I’ll write up a review complete with picture. Send me Adobe Photoshop Elements and I’ll do the same. Send me a t-shirt, software, food, gift certificate for a restaurant, whatever. :D How cool would that be! You give me stuff, I’ll give you free advertising. Deal?

I ALMOST didn’t download this song.

It was on the radio, got stuck in my head, and now it’s on my iPod. I just downloaded the addicting song Almost from Bowling for Soup’s album A Hangover You Don’t Deserve. Now I can listen to it almost every day. :D

New Star Wars Trailer During the OC

Well we always watch the OC on FOX and last night they included the new Star Wars trailer and they made a huge deal about it. I have to say, the Seth Cohen version was much better than the George Lucas version. The trailer was boring to me and I don’t have any desire to see it. However, if the OC would do a Star Wars spoof it’d be awesome!

It’s new, it’s cool and it’s live! Yesterday the new Misukanis & Odden PR site when live. We all worked hard and it turned out great!

Goodbye and God Bless Chris LeDoux

Today we lost a very influential artist in country music, Chris LeDoux. Chris wasn’t the biggest country star, via record sales, however many artists owe a lot to the cowboy. One of his biggest fans was Garth Brooks and Garth owes a great deal of his career to what he learned from Chris. He’ll be missed, but his music will live on.
