Let’s see… not much news in the last week. Dinner club at Babani’s last Thursday, and the Auto Body at O’Gara’s on Saturday. The former was good food, but bad parking due to construction. The latter was better attended than I expected, which made for some parking hassles, but it was good to see some folks I haven’t seen in a while. Beyond that, the rest of the week and weekend were just okay. Nothing notable really.
This week is a short one. Yay! No big plans for me for the weekend, except the Saturday evening photowalk I’ve organized. Sounds like the weather might not be too bad for that. And a bunch of little projects around the house that have been waiting for me to get into a project-tackling mood. This might just be the weekend for it.
- Slate has an interesting article on The rise and fall of the “Bus Plunge” Story. I haven’t picked up a physical paper for quite a while, but it doesn’t surprise me that these have disappeared. [flutterby]
- In a bit of local news, St. Cloud makes ‘Absolutely worst places to live’ list. But at least it’s not Fairbanks, Alaska:
Take the worst place you’ve ever been, then subtract the sun.
Read this one before Friday, since IIRC, the Times hides anything more than a week old behind their firewall. - Did you know Hellmann’s has changed their mayonnaise formula? Fargin bastages. Two words: New Coke. [kottke]
- Mark over at Boing Boing is finally noticing that the Patriot act makes it harder to get real Sudafed. Nice to see that I’m not the only one griping about this. [boing boing]
- Don’t watch this Intro to Large Format Photography with J. Brunner (video) while drinking a soda. You’ll have to clean up your keyboard if you do. According to a friend who does that sort of thing, it’s fairly accurate, too.
