How much oil would it take to buy America → The answer is far less than even a decade ago. MSN explores it and comes to the conclusion that either oil is vastly overpriced or America is ripe for the picking by some crafty investors. What lies between the opening and closing paragraphs is a very well-written and informative read.

On Plurk

For the uninitiated, Plurk is the new Twitter, only Plurk isn’t exactly Twitter. Plurk is for micro-blogging and it already exists as — wait for it — tumblr.

Rex Sorgatz tells the unfamous how to get mildly famous → Former Minnesotan Rex Sorgatz (of Fimoculous fame) writes an in-depth New York Magazine story on how to gain fame in the internet world. Yep, anyone can be a celebrity. Maybe that’s what’s next for me.

On Spring

Spring has sprung. It’s about damn time you lazy season. What in the hell were you doing for the past five weeks? Answer me!

Giving link love → Again with the on-again, off-again research today. I want my project to take the proper form and I am quickly finding out what sort of etiquette for a more public and widely viewed venue passes as acceptable.

Buy former KARE 11 anchor Paul Magers' mansion → Never mind that it is currently the home of the disgraced former publisher of both the St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Par Ridder.
