Tomorrow morning at 8am I will start my first ever half marathon in Fargo. One year ago I ran in Fargo’s 5K fun run, and since then I’ve been able to keep training and improve my speed and distance. Witnessing the start of last year’s Fargo Marathon was a great experience, so I’m ready and […]
I had very little interest in Lost when it made its debut back in 2004. I’ll admit that I knew nothing about it, other than it centered around people trapped on an island after a plane crash. It reminded me of Survivor) for some reason, and I didn’t expect it to be neither good or […]
Yesterday morning I had the opportunity to participate in the 5K fun run/walk portion of the Fargo Marathon. I had never witnessed the start of a marathon before, so it was very inspiring to see thousands of people begin their 26.2 mile trek across the city of Fargo, including my friend (and former supervisor), John […]
Not much surprises me anymore when April Fool’s Day makes its yearly appearance. Don’t get me wrong – I can’t wait to see what jokes Google comes up with every April 1st, and Think Geek has a reputation for coming up with some of the most clever fake-products you’ll ever see. But, that’s the problem […]
Update on 10/22/2007: The photo I posted below has been featured on The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks. Thanks Bethany! I was very pleased to find The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” Quotation Marks today, via John Gruber. It’s extremely “funny”. Misused quotation marks have become one of my pet peeves in recent years. I’m surprised at […]
You may not know this about me, but I’m a huge fan of the Simpsons – have been ever since the beginning. In high school, I would frequently take in 1-2 hours of episodes every day, so I quickly became adept at spouting off obscure references and quotes from the show. Last night I was […]
Last week David Seah released the Procrastinator’s Clock, a simple clock that runs somewhere between on time and 15 minutes ahead. If you’re the type of person to set your clock 10 minutes ahead, then build that buffer into your plans anyway, it might be worth a look. Besides being fun, the Procrastinator’s Clock reminds […]
If you saw last week’s episode of The Office (you do watch The Office, right?), you’ll remember that one of the plot points revolves around a homemade “Rockin’ Robin” ringtone created by one of the characters. It’s extremely funny, so if you missed it, I recommend downloading it from iTunes. Anyway, I think NBC is […]
Now that we’re almost a month into the fall 2006 television season, I need to ask: What are you watching for new shows, if anything? Comment away! Me? I’ve been watching three new serials: Heroes, Jericho, and the now canceled Kidnapped. My favorite by far is Heroes. Its character development is top-notch, and I’m a […]
Last night Casey and I attending the Grand Forks performance of Cirque du Soleil’s Delirium, their traveling concert featuring remixed music from other Cirque shows. This was the first time we’ve seen one of their performances, and it was, in a word, amazing. The set for Delirium is huge, and plays an integral part in […]
