Looking around for new podcast content this morning I ended up in the Zune Marketplace and found Minnesota Stories which is cool but sadly recently on hiatus, but they had a link in their sidebar to The Midwest Teen Sex Show which is really incredibly good sex education videos. Oh, and they’re really funny. Tags: [...]

One of the things that I like about the Zune is that it has podcast support that is more like how I really use them rather than the way they work with iTunes. It’s not perfect by any stretch (Why can’t I squirt a podcast?) but it’s generally very good. Good enough that I’m looking [...]

One of the things that I’m enjoying most about Chain Factor, besides the incredibly addictive game, is the code hints/easter eggs that you get sometimes that show up as an “error message”. Like this one: ERROR 003 LEVEL 3 / CODE NNN * UPPER BOUND FOR BASIC SCORES? * ok i’ve got to stop playtesting [...]

According to MPR there is a major opportunity to recycle a lot of old electronics and other household waste this weekend at the Mall of America. I’m going to drop off a bunch of the things that I have listed on the Take My Stuff! Please! page so if you want anything in particular say [...]

A few of the things that I do think are really very good about the new Zune software are both the Podcast and the social/community support. I have been using services like Last.fm, iLike, and a large variety of others for a very long time now and am really happy to see that kind of [...]

I’ve already commented in [...]

A friend who knows me well got a four pack of the “treat-sized” Jones Candy Corn soda and brought it in to work for me today. Good thing since I had not been able to find it at my local Target. A couple of notes: It is Yellow. (FD&C Yellow no. 5 to be specific) [...]

Thank goodness for the FAQ at TDiClub. Last week-ish the glowplug light in my 2003 VW Golf TDi started flashing but performance didn’t seem to be effected at all and the car was starting fine and everything seemed kosher so I figured it could wait to get taken care of. Last night on the way [...]

I’ve gone ahead and started the list of stuff that I’m getting rid of. Let me know if you want any of it. No tag for this post.
