3. May, 2002 - MN news - weekend fun
- The Interactive U of M Map lets you find buildings, service, and transportation at the U of M. I'm not even a student there, but it works really slick. It'd be neat (and a lot of work) for someone to do this on a larger scale. (What Jim doesn't know is that we're working on our own interactive map for Marcy-Holmes. But it's a lot of work.) [Jim]
- No one's home at governor's residence. State Attorney General Mike Hatch has said that Jesse can't close it completely down, but that's basically what's happened. But the mansion is turning into a symbol of dysfunctional government in Minnesota, and I think Jesse's overplayed his hand by trying to completely shut it down. The house doesn't belong to him. He's free to move out, but it should still be open to the public for tours and for ceremonies. [strib]
- Xcel to convert 2 Twin Cities power plants to gas. Neighborhoods downwind of the Riverside plant have been asking for that for years. It'll be 2007 before the conversion, but it's nice to see Xcel moving in the right direction. [strib]
- Ernie's BlindDateBlog is up and running. It's interesting and a little spooky to watch. [evhead]
- A step-by-step tutorial telling you how to make your own porn. [flutterby]
- May 18 & 19 (just two weeks away) are the Fourth Annual Masturbate-A-Thon. Time to stock up? The Masturbate-A-Thon Weekend over at Good Vibrations. [flutterby]
- EmptyBottle.org is a blog by a Canadian living in Korea who's fond of an occasional drink that Jim thought I'd like. (Nice pictures of Sorak San National Park today too) [Jim]
- KMart sells pinball machines?!? For that matter, KMart's still in business?!? [librarian]
- The Autonomous Beer-Opening Robot It would seem a good idea to add a cigarette lighter and a willingness to listen to the sob stories of patrons. [Reed, via Daily Rotten]
