blainegarrett

One foot in the hustle and bustle of the wonderful Twin Cities and the other foot deeply planted in the woods of Northern Wisconsin. I suppose "urban lumberjack" might be the appropriate term. I am a recent Computer Science and Art graduate from The University of Minnesota. By day I am a web developer for this here site, and by night I am the Executive Director of TC based Adamantine Arts as well as an aspiring artist, musician, and experimental cook. I am working on being involved more in the community here, so please consider me to be just another member. I usually am interested in art, music, politics, and humor stories. Yup, so that is me in a nutshell. Word.

Do No Evil – As the nation focused on whether Congress would exercise its constitutional duty to cut funding for the war, Bush quietly issued an unconstitutional bombshell that went virtually unnoticed by the corporate media.

Max Tyrie's Hand Made Modest Mouse Video

Popular Videos – From the description: "Myself and a couple have friends have entered the above into the Modest Mouse video competition.

(all 4133 of them) We then nailed each 'shot' of 50-100 posters to various structures and posts."

Follow Talladega's lead and send the hooligans home

Sports – Throw an object onto the court during an NBA game, and you're hauled out of the arena immediately. The police are notified, and charges are filed. And then comes the harshest punishment of all -- they take your tickets away.

Ignorance abound in wake of tragedy

Do No Evil – 32 people murdered. 29 others wounded. Honestly, I can't wrap my mind around the enormity of what happened at Virginia Tech. Others don't seem to have that problem. It's as if 32 dead college students are nothing more than fodder for political points of view on gun control.
