Minneapolitan Rails developer Bruno Bornsztein‘s Curbly site has sprung a few offspring…er…siblings…er…well, he has some new sites: weebabystuff.com teacherly.com He has a write up of the weebabystuff back end development on his blog. Nice work, Bruno!
When I think back On all the crap I dealt with in IE It’s a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of decent surfing Hasn’t hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Google Chrome They give us those nice bright tabs They give us the protected memory [...]
I can’t help but notice the (seemingly) sudden onslaught of Mom-centric local community web sites being advertised on TV. In the past couple of weeks I’ve seen (or maybe I read) of at least 3: momtalk.com momslikeme.com minnmoms.com Are Twin Cities Mom’s the long lost/forgotten demographic that was only recently discovered by online marketers? Or [...]
Radiohead did it. NIN did it. Recently, Girl Talk did it. The name-your-own-price model for purchasing music albums is a nice trend to see. I’m at the point where I don’t even care what the music is. I just feel obligated to buy a copy to promote the business model. Well, now you can support [...]

Some recent online music news that seems to have come to my attention in the span of a week: Paul Westerberg (there’s the MN tie to justify the post ;o) has released his latest “album” for 49 cents on Amazon. Sampling maestro Girl Talk has jumped on the NIN/Radiohead bandwagon and released his latest album [...]
Roku + NetFlix + RedBox = TV Utopia. We recently went cold turkey and cancelled our satellite service. The price was getting close to gouging range and we were increasingly finding that we were just paying for a lot of crap. We recently redeemed our $40 government coupons for our Digital TV Converter Boxes and [...]
We recently got new machines at work and so the slow process of reinstalling everything has begun. Around 5 years ago or so, we had purchased Macromedia Studio MX. A few years later, we upgraded to Studio MX 2004. Good enough. I have no real need to upgrade to anything newer. Alas, I ran into [...]
