(click the picture)


Our little boy is 23!!



I won't nag anyone to *vote* for my podcast again (unless you want to) but.. maybe this is of interest...


A request went out to a consortium I'm part of called Podcast Minnesota
(http://podcastmn.com/) from the St. Paul Pioneer Press tech writer,
Julio Ojeda-Zapata, asking about "the iTune effect." I dropped him a
line (hit counts have gone from hundreds to consistently thousands a
day).

I actually had a phone interview with him about my podscast and why I'm doing
this. I sent him some links and info - heck I even sent him graphs
showing the impact. He didn't use much (any) of my information
overload, but at least I got ONE sentence:

Podcasts get lift from 'iTunes effect'

Software thrusts geeky online personalities into mainstream

BY JULIO OJEDA-ZAPATA

Pioneer Press


Until last week, the Twin Cities' Wanda Wisdom had enjoyed only
marginal success with her podcast — a radio-like program offered
online as a digital file for subscribers to download and put on their
portable music players.

....
Joel Anderson of St. Paul said his "A Klingon Word from the Word"
podcast centered on the "Star Trek" aliens' guttural language saw a
tenfold increase in hits just after the new iTunes came out.
....

Congratulations! Now we know.....

where we can have *ALL* the Anderson get-togethers. Will there be a good place to play Kubb?!?

We bought a new house!

Maria and I recently began looking for new houses. We found exactly what we were looking for in a new development in Shakopee - The Longport 4br 4 bath single family home. Here is an artists rendering of our new, yet to be built, home.
