311 day, once of the coolest days of the year. One of my most favorite band’s is 311..usually they play a huge concert on this day ,like 65-70 songs, but this year they are hard at work in the studio, making a new album.
I am guessing they will party hard tonight though…
Houdini: The ability to get out of sticky situations without anyone knowing how.
Used in a sentence: “Dood, what was up with that Houdini last night?”
Usually happens: At the bar when a buddy gets drunk and disappears.
I emailed my congressman (Norm Coleman) today and asked why there wasn’t an RSS feed for his newsletter posts …
Hopefully they reply and put one up…
Why hasn’t someone thought of this yet…
Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could goto the grocery store or Target or something, and as you put items in your cart, a little LCD screen attached to the cart would tell you how much you have in the cart as far as price goes? Maybe they need RFID on all items and a reader in the cart. I just hate getting to the checkout and then finding out how much it all costs, I why should I have to calculate it in my head as I shop..its 2005!
Played it tonight…pretty fun game…kind of easy, but still fun.
I recorded some new songs in the “Music” section of my website. Check it out!
Gotta love Buffalo Wild Wings. We never use to have one here in St. Cloud, so back in the day some buddies and I would drive 40 minutes to Elk River just for 25 cent wings Tuesday’s!!!
Right now I am sitting at BWW in St. Cloud on my aircard just reading some blog feeds, drinking a Coors Light, waiting for some friends.
Now they have raised the price of wings on Tuesday from 25 to 35 cents, but it is still cheap and the wings are great. Hot BBQ and Caribbean Jerk are my favorites. Spicy Garlic is good too.
The triva is fun, and they have Coors Light on tap (my fave!) If they have one near you, check it out, its a very unique resturant.
Today, I decided to listen to my first “podcast”. If you don’t know what podcastting is, here goes:
1) Podcasting is a bad name – really it should be called “Audio” casting, or something like that. I don’t own an ipod and I doubt I ever will.
2) Someone records themselves talking, like a talk radio show, then they upload it to the net in mp3 format. You download to your pc, then to your pocket pc or mp3 player, etc.
3) You can then listen to the casts anywhere (plane, car, bathroom?)
I listened to the latest Engadget podcast, and learned some pretty cool things. The only thing is I wish it wasn’t called podcastting!
Last weekend, up north. Got a flat. Goto walmart. “You are next in line”…..2 Hours Later…Finally car in garage…1.5 hours later..”It can’t be fixed”….”Cant I get a new tire on there then?”…”No – we took off your old tire, inspected it, and put it back on. If you want a new tire, then you need to wait 2 hours”…Called L&M Supply…”Can you fix tire?”…”If you get it here before 5″…Time = 4:45….Got to L&M…15 minutes…10$ later…Tire fixed.
Moral of the story: Don’t goto Walmart to get your vehicle fixed!!
Finally, snow was dumped down in St. Cloud. Now all the people who have been complaining about not having any snow turn into the people who complain that there is too much. Personally I think it was cool because I could whip donuts in my truck! w00t!
