Jonathan Coulton St. Paul
After a major snow storm on Thursday I wasn’t sure if heading to St. Paul for the Jonathan Coulton show Friday was really going to happen. Of course the weather held out so Derek and I decided to brave the drive (with the aid of a nice new GPS unit).
I have been listening to Coulton [...]

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 [...]
It’s finally summer 2008
I’m sitting on my sofa watching the Red Wings and Penguins fight it out on the ice for the Stanley Cup while I have a blanket draped over my legs — that’s right it’s pretty much summer. OK, maybe not really summer, but for all intents and purposes it is that season we all truly [...]
The Vacation: Mount Rushmore
Saturday: Wake up call comes around 6 a.m. with a bright light and some loud rustling from my Dad who woke up minutes earlier. We hit the road around 6:45 a.m. heading out to the first of only a couple stops on the route to Mount Rushmore. We find a Perkins and have breakfast. After [...]
Home, but tired.
I am home from the trip and a bit tired. I’m currently watching the Vikings game and I don’t know that I’ll be writing my trip details today or not. I have however uploaded a handful of photos for you to check out over at Flickr.com.
Almost home
Well it’s late at night Saturday and I have finally seen Mount Rushmore. I snapped a few photos that I’ll post later. We spent the whole evening driving to Sioux Falls to make the trip back home Sunday a little shorter. I’ll have a large wrap up of the weekend up sometime Sunday or Monday [...]
The vacation so far
I took off part of Tuesday afternoon after working the morning. The vacation begins with some down time, watching an obscene amount of The Office season 3. In all reality I focus on the special features, commentaries and deleted scenes. Good stuff to be had in them.
Wednesday was pretty much spent relaxing and avoiding doing [...]
Interactive Trip Planner
With my trip to Mount Rushmore still somewhat in the planning stage, I thought I would check out some travel sites for ideas. I found this travel South Dakota site that looked promising. I clicked through and was greeted with a well designed and well thought out experience.
I then clicked on the “interactive trip planner,” [...]
Vacation plans
The summer is slowly winding down and I have some vacation days eating at me. I’m starting to think about what I want to do. I’ve been talking about going to Mount Rushmore for years, being only 8 hours away it seems like a natural place to trek out to.
At the moment, I’m still thinking [...]
