Parking and Branding

Sherman — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 19:57:39 +0000

I got this in my email this morning

WINTER PARKING RESTRICTIONS
Winter Parking Restrictions will improve emergency vehicle access

In order to provide reliable access for emergency vehicles, the City is implementing Winter Parking Restrictions. The restrictions are needed because of the high levels of snow accumulation this winter, resulting in the narrowing of streets. Winter Parking Restrictions will take effect at 8 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11. This means parking will be banned on the even side of non-Snow-Emergency-routes until April 1, unless conditions allow the City to lift the ban earlier.

People parking in Minneapolis must follow these parking restrictions or they could be ticketed and towed (very costly) :

Thursday, Feb. 11 – Winter Parking Restrictions begin
Beginning at 8 a.m., parking is prohibited on the EVEN side of non-Snow-Emergency-routes. Parking is allowed on Snow Emergency routes and the ODD side of non-Snow Emergency-routes.

This brings back memories of winters past when they would declare winter parking in September, just to be on the safe side, and we’d all fight all winter over half the parking. Nice that it’s only a month and a half. Nicer that I don’t need a parking space.

In Other News; Amanda found this the other day from a “serious” marking / branding company. I’m not sure what to do with it.

Amazing how tiny he was

It’s equally amazing that back then when you set him down he stayed put,

My Apple Tablet Prediction

Sherman — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 03:19:30 +0000

On the twenty seventh day of two-thousand years ten in the country of Kalifornia there will be a shifting of the interaction between human and their chosen tools. Bearers will carry “slates” measuring 17 and 3/4 or 25 and 1/2 centimeters on the long edge, less by 1.618 on the short. These slates will be of the aluminum tree with nary a hole or stone to mar it’s surface. Atop each slate will be pool of black water similar too but more advanced then the liquid crystal walls that adorn so many huts. A tap of fingers in the pool will cause the slate to come alive with images and colors, but bearers shall need cones over their ears or on their walls in proximity to the slate to hear noise. These cones will use the blue tooth. Also; structured keyboard stones and dead mice can also use the blue tooth to control the slate. Finally; the soul of the slate will be born of the eye fon and be as it’s equal in a larger space, but yet the soul will have facets that are unique to the slate and not the eye fon. The soul will in effect be completely unique from but fully compatible with the eye fon and any tame Snow Leopard in the vicinity. The slate will also be able to speak to the clouds in third generation and fourth generation languages as well as wifee The slate will derive nourishment from a thin cradle connected to the hut wall but there will be no visible connection between the cradle and the slate save physical contact.

I’ll be predicting something in a moment

It’s not going to be extraordinary or anything: In fact, most of you will find it all really really boring. I announce it in advance to test a new feature. My own URL shortener. More on that soon!

A great batch of quotes

The entire set of quotations on my Google home page are worth sharing today:

– William James

Caught

Sherman — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:42:11 +0000

I got a space pen from Amanda for our anniversary last year. I lost it. This year I got another one and a commitment to get me a new one each year on our anniversary; she’s assuming I’d lose this one as well. I was diligent, plan-full, protective.

I lost it. Well, I thought I had. But the next day after having trudged home through the snow, done some stuff around the house, gone to bed, gotten up, trudged through the snow to work and done a full day at the office I felt a weird knocking in the cuff of my Jeans (that I’d wore the day I lost my pen)…

Long live the (current) Space Pen

Brought to you by the letter “I”, the word “need” and the concept “Money”

There are officially ads here on A.O.D. Perhaps that’s contrary to the “Absence of” part, but honestly I kinda like them there so we’ll see how it goes.

Here’s the plan: They’re actually gonna move to the right a little more once I have some time. Then, you’re going to click on them if there’s something there that you want or need; for instance. If you were planning on shopping at Amazon.com, why not click through my amazon link and I’ll earn a itty bitty percentage of your purchase.

So how easy and not distracting that is.

Thank you for your support!
