We bought a house!

  • 20 Mar, 2005

It took a few months and a lot of looking and discussing, but the other day we walked into the perfect house for us. It was so amazing that it seemed unreal. Well it was real and we bought it! Family and friends can see pictures and start thinking about house warming gifts. 😉

21 inches of snow anyone?

  • 19 Mar, 2005

The spring snowstorm that was to hit the Twin Cities slipped a little south and blanked our parents. Over 17 inches of snow fell in about 24 hours around Rochester and they’ll be digging out for quite a while. We got around 6 or so, but nothing compared the 21+ that fell around the Iowa […]

Sawyer Brown – Mission Temple Fireworks Stand

  • 18 Mar, 2005

I had iTunes tuned into an internet radio station and what did I hear? New Sawyer Brown music! Mission Temple Fireworks Stand is the title of the song the boys are accompanied by Robert Randolph. It is a great song that was very much the Sawyer Brown style. Not sure when a CD is coming […]

Custom iTunes Prepaid Cards

  • 18 Mar, 2005

At Austin’s South by Southwest (SXSW) music festival Apple released artist and song specific iTunes gift cards. The cards appear to be good for one free song which is specified on the the card its self. I think this is a great way for artists to give out demo singles, or pre-releases, and a great […]

Minnesota Revenue Recapture Fee

  • 17 Mar, 2005

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. This year they took out $50 + $15 service fee […]

Google Goes Mac

  • 16 Mar, 2005

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. Screenshot:

Spring Break Shuffle – Music for a Party

  • 16 Mar, 2005

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 […]

Yahoo 2005

  • 15 Mar, 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 […]

Napoleon Dynamite Blows

  • 14 Mar, 2005

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 […]
