Cloud Cult's field of dreams | Vita.mn →
The Minowas are longtime organic farmers. They moved south to enjoy a few more weeks of growing time next season. They also sought out an ideal plot of land to house the Earthology Institute, a long-imagined offshoot to the band’s Earthology Records and nonprofit arm.
Craig’s idea is to build cabins in the woods and host seminars on organic farming, recycling, wind turbines, etc. If...

No, you are not ‘running late’, you are rude and... →
swirlspice:
…
And it is not that we lead ‘busy lives’. That’s a given, we all do, and it’s a cop out to use that as an excuse. It’s simply that some people no longer even pretend that they think your time is as important as theirs. And technology makes it worse. It seems texting or emailing that you are late somehow means you are no longer late.
Rubbish.
You are rude. And inconsiderate.

This report builds on The Minneapolis Foundation’s decade-long role as a community resource for education and information about immigration in Minnesota.

What children’s picture books do you hate? Which ones do you love?
My Least Favorite: Goodnight Moon. I just don’t get why everyone loves this book. I’ve read it quite a bit these last four months, but I rarely pick it...

Former GOP Gov. Carlson endorses IP's Horner →
dmdhashw:
Carlson said the upcoming gubernatorial election is the most important he can remember. “It’s not time to go to the far left or the far right, but to reach the broad moderate middle,” he said.
Agreed.
Dayton is considered far left? Sigh, people are stupid.

The Democrats' big-picture problem
mnpublius:
America is largely a conservative nation, but not for the reasons you think. We’re a conservative nation because the conservatives tell us we are, while the liberals do nothing to argue otherwise.

marrina:
Today it was officially announced that social media dynamo Taylor Carik will be taking over Secrets of the City (formerly The Rake). We approve! Yours truly will even stick around as an editor. We’re excited to see what Taylor does with the site, as he mentioned having it be more editorial content-heavy (read: Rake-like) once he gets organized.
This makes me very happy. It’s...

New Coffee Shop Helps Peace Coffee Tell Their... →
“With our new coffee shop, we can better support our existing customers,” Lee continues. “By bringing this barista expertise in-house, we can understand the experience from their perspective. This will help us better understand how to support everyone from Seward Coop to the Craftsman to the Birchwood Cafe.”
This makes sense to me. Currently, coffee shops, restaurants, and coops buy bulk beans,...

I get several hundred email messages per day across several accounts, gigs and points of reference.
I don’t use a single rule. I have one inbox. I treat them all the same way.
Required reading.
I aspire to be this way.
Glad it works for him, but not using rules to *help* with Inbox Zero is ridiculous, especially with mobile mail checking. I filter out a ton of stuff...
