rand on the new wolves uniforms [randball]

]]> They're not horrible, but they're certainly not classy or timeless or anything I'd ever want to wear. More from Rand: "Also of interest (perhaps more narrowly): The Wolves invited several bloggers � including those who, unlike us, don�t work for the mainstream media � to participate on the conference call. That�s not unheard of, but it is interesting as we move forward."

the mndaily rss feed is my favorite feed right now [mndaily]

http://www.mndaily.com/RSS/headlines.rss

]]> Only because of the "Breaking News" stuff. Today we get "[Breaking News] University ranked 524th by Forbes". Last week my favorite was: "[Breaking News] National Night Out expected to draw crowds tonight". Unintentionally funny is the best funny, right? Right. Hooray for content management.

]]> Remember when you saw her in Stillwater last June? And how she dominated to a such a degree that when she rolled by you said to yourself, "Man, she's gotta be the best on the planet." Breaking news: totally is.

reasonably good interview with neil young [jambase]

http://www.jambase.com/Articles/14655/Neil-Young-Chaos-Is-Good/4

]]> Breaking news: Neil Young is still cooler than you. Also: the new CSNY movie is out now, but I don't think it's playing anywhere around here. Not that I'd go see it or anything, but maybe a cool rental? Maybe.

are corporations coming to minneapolis parks? [swjournal]

http://www.swjournal.com/index.php?publication=southwest&page=152&story=12144

]]> This issue is still maybe sorta under consideration and my initial reaction continues to maybe sorta be: pukebarf. But wait - "[Some lady showed sample] images of caf�-style Starbucks nestled in parks, public buildings with small inscriptions recognizing corporate donors and shops selling city-related merchandise. Logos were all relatively small, while banners, advertising slogans and catch phrases were virtually non-existent." I don't want virtually, I want entirely. But then, sure, you can put up a plaque or something. Also this: there totally needs to be better coffee infrastructure around the lakes. I am only 10% joking here.

Interior cockpit and cabinlights, exterior position and navication running lights, search lights and flood lights will shine bright on a variety of model boats. At 8:30, the John Phillip Sousa Band will take the stage at the Amphitheater and play for an hour. As a finale to their wonderful performance, a fireworks show will go off in the middle pond." Oh hell yes I'm in for that. Though we won't make the fireworks. Too late for jr. But still: i'm. so. there.
