My Oscar picks, yeah not so good
I am nearly a month into my new job as managing editor for the Tyler Tribute and it’s sister papers but I have to admit my touch on the pulse of pop culture around the world has been a little weak nearly since day one. I’m working to correct that, but it’s going to take [...]
A new start in Tyler
A few weeks ago I posted a cryptic post about how I had some sort of big news coming, but I failed to follow through with what exactly that was. A little over one week ago I started a position as managing editor for the Tyler Tribute, Hendricks Pioneer and Lake Benton News newspapers.
At some [...]
Oasis with Ryan Adams and the Cardinals
Saw Oasis with guests Ryan Adams and The Cardinals on Wednesday. This marked my sixth Oasis show and second Ryan Adams set. I’m a huge fan of Oasis and a long time fan of Ryan Adams so this was kind of a dream show.
Oasis seemed pretty loose on stage, I’ve seen them a lost stiffer [...]
Dropping Cable Television … Maybe.
I’m currently in the process of thinking about possibly dropping cable television. Sure, that means giving up my beloved TiVo and loosing out on a lot of content from the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic (man I watch a lot of documentary stuff), but I’m finding Netflix and my vast DVD collection are keeping me [...]
Keeping an eye on my birth place
I was digging around this whole Internet thing, looking up random stuff. I thought it would be interesting to see what kind of information I could find on the city of my birth, Frankfurt am Main in Germany. I found a site filled with live web cams. Kind of fun. Check it out.
Summer coming to an end
It’s so cliche to say at this point but this year seems to be flying by. It’s already halfway through September. This has been a busy year at work. At the Independent we end each year with a round up of the ten biggest stories that have impacted our region. It’s going to be difficult [...]
Musings for July 2008
The month of July seems to really be flying by and I still haven’t seen “The Dark Knight.” For most of my co-workers, they would have thought I would be first in line for the flick, I have been talking about it for years now.
I just don’t have faith that I won’t end up in [...]
A few thoughts for July
I’m sitting on my sofa enjoying a little surround sound goodness from the new John Mayer DVD and I thought I would share a few quick thoughts before I head off to bed — getting rest before a 10 hour plus work day.
My 10 year high school reunion is coming up in about a week. [...]
Star Wars at MN Sci Museum
I went to the Star Wars exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota this past weekend. It was great to get up close to many of the iconic images, props and costums from my favorite film series. It was also interesting to look at some of the different ways the science of Star Wars was [...]
Someplace new to rest
A few months ago I lamented about the condition of my primary living room seat. Nearly 20 years old, the couch has outlived its usage, passed down from my parents to me. In one week the couch will officially be retired.
Thanks to Uncle Sam and his stimulus package, I ordered a new couch today. It’s [...]
