Some of the guys and myself ventured up to Stacy, MN today in blizzard conditions to chop down a couple of Christmas Trees. This is our second annual trip and we were happy to see the petting zoo make a return appearance this year, along with Santa!

I’m in London. 29 and I’ve finally ventured beyond North America. I’m traveling with my friend, Fabian, who knows the city rather well – which has proven quite useful.
In two days we’ve been to see Saunders and French at the Drury St Theatre for their farewell show. In fact, we saw it the night [...]

Nike’s latest product
3 Comments Published by SparklesMpls April 29th, 2008 in Absurdity, TechnologyI saw a facebook ad for this strange looking Nike product called the SportBand.

I was tagged by my friend Tim Brunelle, to post this meme. It’s been a while and this one looked fun, so I’ve obliged. Others in this storm include Matt Dickman, Valeria Maltoni, and Ann Handley.
