For those of you back to work today, hopefully I can give you some links to distract yourself with.  For those of you that didn’t have to return to work, well good for you, spend a while looking through my archives after you’ve finished this post. 

I was having issues with my Twitter plugin and it has been missing for the last week.  I had to replace it due to some weird compatibility issue with Wordpress 2.8, things are working now though and you can follow my Twitter activity from here again.

  • The one decent article from CNN reviewing the year in celebrities.
  • A Christmas kidnapping.  Don’t worry everything worked out fine.  (I like the idea behind that blog)
  • Bigger is always better when it comes to insulation.
  • Rick Reilly discusses the many reasons to hate Tyler Hansbrough.
  • A very interesting story about a college basketball player who lost her memory after colliding with a teammate.
  • xkcd details the usefulness of time spent in 11th grade.  This confirmed many of my suspicions.
  • A series from NPR about the American spirit.  Created by Ketzel Levine who was laid off during production. (Via Kottke)
  • And finally in celebration of the end of the Holiday Season, here is a very cool display at Rainbow Foods captured by Erica over at fresh.mn.

As promised, I’ll be giving you my 2009 Minnesota To-Do list on Thursday.  I may skip the Wendesday Where? this week due to being out of town again, but if I find a good photo I may get one up.

No one has been wrong yet. Be the first. Comment
