MinneBar

MinneBar is coming up again this weekend on May 10th and in traditional internet connected fashion, there are lots of posts about it already.

After going last year, I am really looking forward to going again this year. There are many many good sessions lined up!

For a bit more about the event, check out minnov8′s nice writeup which holds “‘Minnebar’ Becoming Top Event for State’s Internet/Software Developers and Entrepreneurs“

By 8:00 am, somewhere between 300 and 400 software developers, startup founders (and hopefuls), web designers, interactive marketers, local media reporters, angels, VCs, and other investors will start converging in one place as they seldom do in any venue in these parts, at any other time throughout the year.

Highway Wikipedia

A friend recently linked to Minnesota State Highway 61, I’m guessing for some vacation planning. But I was surprised to see a Wikipedia web site for a state highway. Apparently U.S. Route 61 also has an entry in Wikipedia.

Most things don’t typically surprise me on the internet anymore. I mean, the Minnesotans for Global Warming caught me a little off-guard in that “well of course they have a web site” sort of way.

But state highways with their own sites? I mean it’s even annotated!

Maybe this Wikipedia thing is catching on as an encyclopedia. But what do you think? Is this over the top?

A bunch of quotes and Minnesotans for Global Warming

* Quote: “What is worth doing is worth the trouble of asking somebody to do it.” – Devils Dictionary

* Quote regarding diplomacy: “A diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you actually look forward to the trip.” – Caskie Stinnett

* Quote regarding Ruby on Rails: “By removing a lot of the busy-work associated with older frameworks, it lets fewer programmers get more done, which helps our communications problem.” [via Rail Spikes]
