However, I never set out to work in journalism.
From “A Change” by Khoi Vinh, who resigned as design director of NYTimes.com, and posted those words (and more) today.
I can relate to that quote.

The ‘Minneapolis Bike Tour’ looks fun. And I like their logo.

The kind of application that Google knows how to make well are the kind that embody a panda’s “eats, shoots, and leaves” model of Internet behavior. Pandas spend every waking hour foraging — aka searching — and consuming. The most successful Google applications serve such a utilitarian mandate, too: they encourage users to search for something, consume, and move onto the next thing. Get in, do your business, get out. Do a Google search, slurp down information, move on. Pull up Google maps or Gmail or Google news, do something, leave. Where Google does not excel is in making applications that are by their nature for lingering and luxuriating — the so-called social applications.
Mugshot Monday - “Monkey” coffee mug by Jim Mulfinger w/ Guatemalan Dark Roast by Peace Coffee.
This is an awesome coffee mug, and I don’t own it.
I took a close-up shot to better show off its awesomeness. It has great texture, and some really cool monkey illustrations. There are actually three similar monkeys on the mug. And you also can’t tell from the photo, but this mug is surprisingly thin and has a really cool feel to it. It’s well built. I love this mug.
It’s an original made by local artist Jim Mulfinger, who unfortunately doesn’t have a website gallery I can link to or buy my own coffee mug from. I could only find this mnartists.org page, and there isn’t much more info on Mulfinger there. He’s made an appearance at the Northern Clay Center for a show in 2007.
I’ll try to get more info on how we can all purchase his excellent coffee mugs.
My friend Kara generously lent me this mug for this week’s Mugshot Monday. A potter herself, she drinks from the Monkey coffee mug on Mondays, too — she calls it her “Monkey Monday” mug. She has a Turtle mug, too. That one is for Tuesday, of course.

And if you post your own Mugshot Monday on Twitter, use the hashtag #mugshotmonday!
I’m serious.
UPDATE: Apparently, I am hosting “Titans of Twin Cities Twitter Battles Tweetup” because of this. “Really?” you ask. “Really?” I ask as well.
Trying Tilburg’s Dutch Brown Ale (Netherlands) and Isastegi Sagardo Natural Cider (Spain) for the first time.
I thought I would buy some beer to try from Spain and the Netherlands, the two contenders in today’s World Cup soccer final. My neighborhood liquor store Zipps didn’t have any beer made in Spain, however. Only cider. I’m not a big cider guy, but today I will give it a try.
LIVE: The Replacements ‘81 Kids Don’t Follow
‘RINGTONES FOR The Replacements AVAILABLE NOW!’
This just seems wrong. There was a little card in my newly purchased Replacements ‘STINK’ CD reissue telling me how I can get ringtones on my phone. ‘STINK’ is my favorite Replacements record.
The songs are great, but the recording is what I love — it’s just raw. Love how the harmonica and vocals on ‘White and Lazy’ are all crunchy. The record always stuck in my mind as one of those great pieces of work, unpolished yet perfect. And underground. Now with ringtones?! Is nothing sacred these days?
Excellent illustration. This is a great ad for Lego.
wow nice and simple
Really well done skateboard video — love the vibe, music. Oh, and the skateboarding is incredible.

Love this photo. My friends Rachel and Jorge on a recent trip to Peru.
Not even sure what that animal is — It’s like a beaver/badger mashup.
