So there I am, surfing around looking at the latest Olympic feed info and come across a video feed from TSN that is supposed to be talking about the “heat in Beijing and at home as the medal drought continues…”, but when I click on the link it says something that I would expect from another nation, not Canada.

I know we all have seen the decline of the size of things we buy over the years… like the bags of cookies or chips that when you open are only half full and the response is “things tend to settle in transit” or the one I like is “our consumer testing has shown that our customers prefer a smaller amount of goods due to health reasons” or some such nonsense.

Day one is in the bag at another Thunder Lizard production. This makes my third web conference and this one seems to be the best… maybe because it is in my backyard being in Chicago, who knows. But one thing I can tell you, the food has been fantastic.

Today I passed my Minnesota motorcycle permit test so I can ride my scooter legally… did I mention that I am getting a scooter? Silly me. Well, I am. The price of gas has gotten out of hand and this is one simple way to cut down on the amount I use for daily commuting and running errands.

I love Minnesota. I must, I’ve moved back here three different times. After trying the west coast and even Montana, I return to my roots and where I was raised, to home.
