Teddy Ruxpin lives!

June 17th, 2008

And he can now talk to you and stalk your friends on Twitter. Kind of freaky watching the eyes and mouth move.

Petey is on facebook

June 3rd, 2008

HealthPartners has a new mascot. Petey the Pee Cup. It just so happens he has a Facebook profile and you can be his friend. Corporate mascots on Facebook. Really. There is a cafe press store too. This is out of hand.

Hey, church made the paper

May 29th, 2008

I like seeing the church in the paper when it is activities like this. Reaching out into the community and doing good. http://www.startribune.com/19338554.html

3D VR Display

The video is old apparently but today was the first I saw it. Anyone tried out his software?

Words I type

May 8th, 2008

Apparently I type “think” a lot in my 140s. Poop is getting more popular though. 6 times so far. Ha.

The NHL skates on

May 2nd, 2008

NHLEven though the Wild lost, I’ve still been watching a ton of hockey. One day this week, I even watched parts of 3 different games. It was sweet. I don’t understand how some can’t get into hockey. The action is so intense. Here is the tv schedule for the rest of the 2nd round of the playoffs.

LC likes hockey apparently

Lauren Conrad from The Hills likes hockey enough for the NHL to have her write a hockey blog.

I’ll be parked in front of the tube for the next two weeks

April 8th, 2008

If you are looking for me in the evenings over the next two weeks the chances are good that you’ll find me parked in front of the TV. The viewing schedules for the NHL playoffs are out and they look glorious. Just so you know, all games will be blacked out locally. Meaning that if you’re looking to watch the Wild games, don’t check for them on Verses if you’re in Minnesota. They’ll be on FSN North or FORTY5.

The Colorado vs. Minnesota series ought to be particularly physical given the little scuffle that happened in their final meeting of the regular season last Sunday.

Upgrading Wordpress

April 7th, 2008

What a nightmare. While I love the software, I hate upgrading it. Perhaps that’s why I haven’t done it since I installed it… until today. I saw a link somewhere (I don’t remember now) on a quick and easy plugin for upgrading automatically. Too bad it didn’t work for me (failed on the maintenance mode step). Here is the plugin. Maybe it will be useful for someone else. I had to follow this guide instead. At least it’s done now and my posts are back in the correct order.

From the folks that brought you Ice Road Truckers

February 19th, 2008

Comes a show about Lumberjacks called Ax Men. Tivo will be set shortly. I learned of the show on Toolmonger.com. Love the toolmonger site. It is far and away my favorite site to read everyday. Tools and building stuff gets me excited.
