• Google Reader

    I am always looking for better online RSS readers.  I need an online one because I am always reading me feeds on different computers.  I was on Bloglines, then I went to Newsgator Online, and now I am back on Bloglines.  I played around with Google’s Reader when it first came out and it was bad.  They have done some updates now and it is pretty good.  I think I am going to be switching over to Google Reader.  I like the way you can star items that you want to come back to and I like the sharing feature better.  I think I might put up a link blog of all the cool stuff I find.  Google Reader will make that easier.  Sure Bloglines has that same function, but I like the way Google does it better.

  • Proof

    So I subscribe to a Flickr feed for Fargo.  That way I can see all the pictures that people tag with Fargo.  This one came is yesterday.  Yep, that’s snow.  I thing I will be digging my shovel out of the shed today.  Just what I wanted to do on my only day off this week.

  • Winter’s Here

    I have been working quite a bit these past two weeks.  I am so far behind on all my Internet stuff.  I have tomorrow off.  Hopefully I will be able to catch up then.  Today I worked 17 hours.  Went in this morning.  It was a little chilly, but just sweatshirt weather.  I think it was in the 30s or something.  I didn’t see the outside all day.  I was a little shocked to see my car covered with snow and the temp at 23º.  23º isn’t really cold, but it sure feel cold when you aren’t use to it and you don’t have your jacket with.  I guess winter is here.

  • Concerts

    It’s been a slow concert year for me. I don’t think I have been to any this summer. Last summer I went to five I think. I just heard about Reel Big Fish coming to Fargo. Yes, a good concert is actually coming to Fargo. Gin Blossoms are also coming to Fargo. I really liked them back in the 90s and thing I will probably go see them too. Both of them are playing at Playmakers in Fargo. I never liked concerts at Playmakers, but they have done a lot of renovating of the place, and it is actually called The Venue now. I hear lot of good things about the place and am looking forward to checking it out. It is so nice when bands I like come to Fargo. A four minute drive is so much better than a four hour drive. We do have tickets to a concert in the cities this December. That will be a long drive. I just hope the weather is nice then. I don’t want to miss the best band in the world.

  • TGIF

    Man it was a crazy week.  I just got done working 4 12 hour days.  It feels like all I did this week was eat and sleep.

  • Sometimes I hate Verizon

    I hate cell phone companies. My wife was having problems with her cellphone randomly shutting off. We brought it back to the Verizon store and it is still under warranty so that was a good thing. The only problem was that the replacement phone will have a software “upgrade” on it so the phone will no longer play MP3s. WTF? What kind of upgrade takes away features? They disguise it by letting you buy songs from VCast. Yeah, screw that. Why would anybody want to re-buy their music for their cellphone?

    Well, we got the phone yesterday and it took me five minutes to find the hidden menu to turn the MP3 feature back on. No problem. Then Verizon wanted to charge us $10 to transfer the address book, but pictures and ringtones would be lost. WTF? Screw that.

    Five more minutes and I had everything transferred to the new phone, address book, pictures, ringtones, everything. Why couldn’t Verizon do that?

    I hate the way cellphone companies try to nickle and dime you to death. I don’t get suckered into it. I make my own ringtones. I don’t buy into any of that VCast crap. I just wish they didn’t disable features on the phone to make a buck.

  • St. Croix River

    We had a great time in Talors Falls on our dinner cruise. Here are some pictures.

  • The Action Design EP is Now Out

    My favorite band without an album just released their first EP last night. Only 1000 are available, and you have to order them right from the band. Totally DIY and awesome. I ordered mine right away. You can check them out on their myspace page.


    Get It Now!

  • Weekend

    So I have been a little quite on here lately.  I have just been busy with work and was out of town last weekend.  Just haven’t had much time on the Internets much lately.  As you have guessed, I have today off, but we are taking off in a few hours.  My Mom is taking us on a riverboat cruise on the St. Croix river tomorrow.  The St. Croix is the river that is on the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin.  So we are heading back to our hometown in central Minnesota today.  See ya Sunday.
