As a follow-up to my last post, I emailed Jason DeRusha and told him that I also had a Blog on a Stick. He then posted about my blog on his blog! How cool is that?! Thanks Jason. 🙂

Target Aquatennial Fireworks

Last night was the 2005 Aquatennial Fireworks sponsored by Target. Once again the show was spectacular and didn’t disappoint. Supposedly it’s the 4th largest fireworks show in the nation. You can see all my photos over at my Target Fireworks Flickr page.

The New WCCO Web Design

News and media websites have a tendency to look rather crowded and cluttered. Coming across a nice design just doesn’t happen that often. Until now. The new WCCO TV website got an overhaul recently and it’s a media website done right! The design is simple and clean. Making the site easy to navigate and a […]

MnPass Reopens to General Traffic

Less than a month after it began, and a bunch of complaints later, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has re-open the MnPass lane on 394 to general traffic during non-rush hour times.

Hormel Twins Stadium

My wife and I went out to a Twins game yesterday with some of her co-workers. We really went to get the bobble heads, which we did. We each ended up with a Jacque Jones bobble head. Which, by the way, are all over eBay and going for around $30 dollars. While waiting for the […]

A Sunny Snowy May Day

Well, talk about odd weather. Yesterday was May Day and it was sunny. Then cloudy, then windy then snowy rainy sleety. Oh, then sunny again. It was like that all day. You’d look out the window and it’d look beautiful. Minutes later it’d be white with snow showers. Geez. Fun, but this cold weather is […]
