Even as a cartoon, Phil is a mouth-breather
After playing with Joe and Casie’s Wii this weekend and having so much fun with making goofy and freakish mii’s, we ‘Simpsonized’ ourselves at http://simpsonizeme.com

First Non-Adjacent-State Family Visit
My Dad and Karen came out from New Hampshire to visit us a little over a week ago. It was the first time we’ve had anyone from my family visit (they’re all from non-adjacent states). I took a couple days off of work so we could spend time together. We spent one day doing nothing, [...]

$0.99 and 2 weeks later the package arrived from Hong Kong ($4 shipping had been paid by the sender).
There are at least three reasons why this is the best [...]

A couple months ago I found this book at Barnes and Noble about growing house plants from the fruits and vegetables you buy at the store. I decided to try one labeled as ‘easy’ to grow- an avocado. One of the tips from the book is to use bottom heat to speed germination. An official [...]

I’m supposed to be on vacation this week, but I’ve ended up working every day so far. As a project manager, when things blow up, you have to get involved even if your team isn’t responsible.

I’m a really bad blogger. For those of you who don’t know, I broke my hand 2 months ago during my Krav Maga training. It was the perfect mix of stupidity, chance, and the fact the other guy was 70lbs heavier than me. I had a cast put on a couple days after it happened. [...]

Two weekends ago Colleen and I took my mom on a Segway tour of Minneapolis as an early birthday present (You can’t Segway in late November!). The tour was led by Human on a Stick, and lasted about 3 hours. We got to ride around the banks of the Mississippi and took a stop off [...]

Last Sunday Phil and went on a bike tour of the downtown Minneapolis area. From the description we thought it would be about 20-30 people and a tour guide. What we found when we arrived at he Walker Art Center (the start point of the tour) was several thousand people.
I guess they meant tour as [...]

We are finally connected to the World Wide Web again. I felt strangely isolated without it, which kind of scares me. I am almost done unpacking the apartment but we still have a couple of things to bring up from New Ulm. The last few weeks have been really stressful and weird.
I really miss everyone [...]
