As Kermit used to say, “it’s not easy being green,” which is why i thought these items were pretty cool…
First there’s a new Puma phone that was announced this week at MWC (the largest mobile conference in the world) and instead of trying to compete with iPhone/Android and trying to do everything it’s just a [...]
Check out some of the runs from last week’s game against Detroit. He’s getting more and more Barry Sanders-like

Just finished reading the book In-N-Out Burger by Stacy Perlman about the creation of the iconic burger joint. The book has some great stories about the original founders. The husband/wife team Ester and Harry Snyder worked tirelessly and with lots of integrity to create a burger joint focused on “doing one [...]

I personally think he knows the intricacies of the league, the contracts [...]

Every photo is an edit of several photo’s he took at exactly the same spot in a period of [...]

Growing up in Edina, MN is a great experience. One of the highlights of the year is the state hockey tournament. If Edina made (which we always did) we’d get the days of school off and everyone would go to the Xcel Center dressed up like maniacs and cheer like mad for the Hornet players. [...]
