Short of replacing yard decorations with roadkill (which happened back home to the HS principal), this might be the best Halloween prank ever.

Today I had an epic adventure trying to get my Minnesota drivers license finally – a building source of stress over the last 6 months.

She goes by many names – Luna, Lunapup, Snootyboobs, Toots, Dogger McGee, Dogfaced killa, Lunar, DogXor, and others. But, today she is “birthday” girl. Arika’s lovely little Weinheimer “Luna” turns 3 today. To celebrate, she is taking the day off from work, which means she will be doing more laying in front of the fan and being cute. Happy birthday Luna.

Today’s interesting bit of the day is about resonant frequencies. In layman terms, something’s resonant frequency is the point at which, when you “vibrate” it, will “shake” more than at other points.

Humans have grown used to a sense of exclusivity. Many of use believe we are the only intelligent life in the Universe. Most of us think we are at least the only intelligent life on Earth. However, intelligence comes in many forms and perhaps our own inability to see it is in fact a sign of our lack of intelligence.

At the TV Correspondents dinner the other day, John Hodgeman (daily show, mac commercials, etc) spoke on Obama being our nerdiest president.

Leo Laporte does what most people who are not trying to kiss Mike Arrington’s butt want to do – tell him to get over himself. However, Laporte doesn’t quite put it as nicely.

I took the day off assuming we (DIM Media) wouldn’t get back from Wausau until late last night. Since we got back Saturday night, I decided to take advantage of the day off and hang out with my lovely girlfriend, who I have missed quite a bit while in Wausau. To kick off the day, we went to Como Zoo to see some animals. Aside from wading through seas of young mothers who didn’t seem to min if their kids were nearly falling into the animal pens, it was a lovely time. It was sunny, it was warm, and the orangutans were picking eachother’s butts. Pictures are below.

In an update to my last Craig’s List posting about their tightening up of their “exotic services” category, I found this post on the Craig’s List blog today ordering an apology from South Carolina Attorney General Henry McMaster. McMaster feels he has “no choice” but to move forward in bringing criminal charges against Craig’s List for aiding in prostitution by way of it’s “exotic services” category (which was defunct prior to McMaster’s decree). Unless McMaster is an exception to the apparent rule of corrupt politicians, I am willing to bet he used Craig’s List to pick up an escort and was sent an overly rough dominatrix. Now he has a grudge after recovering from the stiletto heal wounds…
