Had a nice long stroll with a fellow park-at-the-back-of-the-lot-guy at Target. America's two least stressed shoppers.

warnick: Afghanistan, October, 2009 - The Big Picture - Boston.com I imagine their perspectives on what democracy means are a bit tainted by what they’ve experienced. Elections mean nothing without checks and balances that reward justice over greed and power. - http://x.thedeets.com/post...

When I first looked at this, I thought, “How can Idaho be so low for mashed potatoes?” but then it occurred to me: Why would someone in Idaho need to hop online to figure out how to make mashed potatoes?

I can't hear any sirens from my porch. Is this the end of a trend, or have people finally mastered deep-frying turkeys?

@RuthanneReid your grandma seems awesome. Not all Minnesotans are as mean as @citypages writers.

I'm getting darker by the day for my NaEmoMo project.

If we all work together, we can come up with a look that says, "I'm independent."

@lulubee thx!

Lastly, Nielsen reports we’re on track to see smartphones cross the 50 percent threshold by mid-2011 (yes, 18 months from now). Add it all up, and it makes more sense that 29 percent of U.S. adult mobile subscribers carry smartphones today. - http://x.thedeets.com/post...

jimray: Do you really need to know more than “Paula Deen hit by a flying ham” to click play? If so, it’s worth clicking for Ann Curry’s delivery and the bizarre banter at the end. It was only a matter of time before the hams started fighting back against Paula Deen. Personally, I’m more likely to be attacked by Macaroni & Cheese.

@utahskiteam Minnesota is the pipeline. I ran past your old house the other day in Prospect Park. It should have a plaque out front.

@Allie_Pehleman I'm pouring over Jackson 5 tunes on YouTube and it's all your fault.

Nice Ride wants to provide 1,000 bikes at roughly 80 self-service kiosks starting next May at locations in downtown Minneapolis, the University of Minnesota and several commercial districts, such as Uptown and St. Anthony Main. Subscribers get a membership card that they can swipe at any kiosk, unlocking a bike that they can return to any other... - http://x.thedeets.com/post...

I’m going to take a much cruder approach to this debate and argue that newspaper brands have generally become weak and news content available from multiple sources. Accordingly the strategy wouldn’t help Microsoft as much as the report impliedly argues. People care less and less about newspaper content (per se), as a practical matter. They care... - http://x.thedeets.com/post...
