A convergence of new electronic devices came into my life today, which has kept me happily distracted. So instead of a lot of fancy-pants words, I’ll simply present my favorite Venn diagram of the week. Good ol’ Marshall Eriksen. (Posted … Continue reading And your diagram was nervous when I saw you on TV
With astounding contrived hubbub, the days that Barack Obama has officially served as President of the United States crossed into triple digits earlier this week. Of course, the hyperactive fluttering of he media was expertly savaged by The Daily Show. … Continue reading It’s hours of forever, coming all together at the crossroads of a minute
I’ve been a very errant reporter in this space the past few days. The last I left you, my teammates and I were about to participate in the 40th edition of the World’s Largest Trivia Contest. We did very well, with an extremely respectable thirteenth place finish. I intended to post a couple of updates during the weekend but got lost in the swirl of the contest. Breaking my daily post habit wound up providing an excuse to take a little longer break from the space. As much fun as the weekend was, I emerged from it mentally exhausted. The … Continue reading Break
And…… Now I’m Stevens Point. The mayhem begins tomorrow. Continue reading This is the town and these are the people, this is the town where the people all stay
I’m in Madison. Getting closer to the pending mania. Continue reading But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

DONE! D-U-N, done! Tonight we finished a major, major project that needed to be complete before we get on an airplane on Wednesday. We’ve still got a lot to do between now and then, but the biggest chore is complete. Continue reading I finished what I did and I went upstairs in my dressing gown
Just one more update about Radley. First thing this morning, we took him to the vet. The plan was to get the sutures removed, but, suspiciously, they were already largely gone. Apparently we didn’t watch him as closely as we thought during those spans that he had his cone off. Regardless, they said his incision had healed nicely. We when we asked about what further precautions we needed to take with him in terms of exercise, playing, activity, they answered “He can go back to being a dog.” It’s nice to have him back at full strength.

One week from tonight we get on an airplane pointed north, making our annual trek to The City of Wonderful Water for one of the biggest, oddest college radio fundraisers you could ever imagine. We’ve been swamped with preparation for the event (which is part of the reason I’ve been relying of shorter posts in this space of late). I’ve previously noted the documentary that was made about this contest and my team’s surprisingly prominent place in it. Turns out this documentary will be showing on Wisconsin Public Television fairly soon, and, as part of that airing, one of the … Continue reading The sun is up looks like a perfect day to put our soldiers on a cake parade
Since I dutifully posted the trailer that inspired gales of online love a couple weeks ago, I should probably post the very funny parody that has followed in short order. Due credit: I found this because someone else found it first. (Posted simultaneously to “Drilling Holes in the Wall.”) Continue reading When the day is long and the night, the night is yours alone
