I had big plans for yesterday. I spent the day watching them unravel, so today’s plan is to just try to get through the things that were on my list for yesterday that I didn’t get done. And thus does the work-week slip by a day.
- There’s Major bucks in minor leagues. The Goldklang Group, owners of the Saints, are doing okay. [press-patch]
- Sean Jensen is no Saint. He went to the open tryouts yesterday, and gave it a shot. Didn’t make the team, but has an interesting story to tell. [press-patch]
- The Board has spoken: Hennepin County OKs Twins stadium. Now the issue goes to the state legislature, which has to allow the board to levy the tax without holding a referendum on the issue. [press-patch]
- Is this a surprise? I don’t think so. Microsoft Chairman: End overseas hiring limits. BillG wants to be able to hire programmers from anywhere in the world, and says there’s a shortage of programmers here in the US. He had me until he started talking about the shortage of programmers — I know enough people looking for work that my BS detector went off. Then again, maybe there is a shortage of people willing to work for Microsoft…
- What’s the TSA giving us? More Baggage Taboos, but Little Security Enhancement. Hell, the agency even admits that airport security hasn’t improved since 9/11. [kottke]
- Wow: Great architecture, clean streets, culture — it must be Minneapolis It’s quite a paean to Minneapolis from the SF Chron. Cool.
