Yup Michigan Fest 1997 - found a video of Jimmy Eat World on YouTube. Thanks Mike!

Yeah that does sound right. Google doesn't help much nowadays -- seems like they prioritize more recent events over hardcore festivals from 20+ years ago! And yeah they were the best -- where else can you see all those great bands and meet the Iron Sheik and Undertaker in your hotel? 😄

Yup, 100%. I had Detroit and a question mark on those photos in my Flickr album, so thanks for the confirmation.

Oh man, thanks! I tried something similar, but noob me forgot the quotes! Thanks for the quick answer.

Hi Chris -- another noob question, I am trying to do something like Nate (and export parent model), but my end format needs to be (using Nate's field examples) two columns with the name, email and coupon code combined in the first column (just a space separating each) and the 2nd column is the user ID. How would I do that using your example code? I tried using .join but that didn't work. Thanks in advance!

I haven't paid attention to the Bosstones since college in the mid 90s, but have they really gone that far down, they are now being lumped in with shitty swing revival bands?

Re: How Junk Food Can End Obesity

endonend — Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:31:47 -0000

Pretty weak examples, like comparing food by ounce when one serving is a 1/2 oz and the other (Big Mac) has almost 6x the fat in a serving. Not to mention usually consumed with fries and soda.

In the end, eating out (regardless of where) is almost always going to be bad.

I've read a few Pollan books and I'm pretty sure he advocates cooking at home using "real" food. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't consider "vegan cheesy salad booster" in that category, either.

Yeah I use Instapaper too. My pile is growing much faster than I read them though. I left it off the list for that reason... someday I'll catch up. Ha!
And Evernote *is* awesome. I think your recommendation back in the day when Del.icio.us went nuts got me to check it out again. Haven't stopped since.
Thanks for commenting!

Re: Brands Lose Ground As Facebook Bug Penalizes Third Party Apps

endonend — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:09:57 -0000

One thing I've noticed is that many 3rd party apps don't have the Public icon (the little globe) next to the Via line...

The few that I've tried:
-Hootsuite doesn't (poor impressions)
-WebTrends Social doesn't (poor impressions)
-Crowdbooster doesn't (poor impressions)
-Involver doesn't (poor impressions, but better than any of the others with impression issues)
-Tweetdeck does (normal impression level)
-Wordpress plugin that posts to page wall -- does (normal impression level)

So I'm thinking the bug has to do with this... wonder if it's due to the permissions changes that were made with all the latest platform changes.
Anyway, I hope they fix it soon. It has been driving me nuts... and I manage 3 pages, along with SEO and PPC, so I don't have time to direct post most days.

Re: What is Samsung Transform?

FYI -- FCC docs said QWERTY keyboard and 3MP camera.

So I imagine it's a cheaper, non-4g version of the Epic.

Re: Netflix Lies to Canadians, Insults Americans, Still Looks Good

endonend — Thu, 23 Sep 2010 15:37:27 -0000

Canadian customers don't get DVDs by mail for the cheaper price (so streaming only for $7.99)... thus the price difference. I get the CEO said some un-PC stuff, but why was he asked that question in the first place? It's like asking a farmer at the market if he's worried if people will notice he's charging less for a single apple vs. a whole bushel.

Re: Introducing the Android Phone Power Rankings! (Cast YOUR Vote)

Personally, I think the Sprint Hero is very underrated.

From what I've seen (friends, playing with phones at say Best Buy, etc.) I'd put the Hero above the Samsung Intercept, i1, and myTouch 3g, G1, etc... so probably #10. Probably biased though! ;)

The Hero dev community at XDA is amazing too.

Re: Scripting News: A mosque at Ground Zero

endonend — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 11:02:02 -0000

Point conceded.

To me, it's where does it stop? Today's it's the mosque (that will also be a community center.) Next the Muslim business man that wants to open a store that caters to other Muslims in the vicinity? Seems ridiculous, but given the other "outrages" we've seen become news over the last few years, I don't doubt it's a possibility.

We're supposed to be a country that sets examples for the rest of the world, not one that stoops to the religious bigotry, fear and hatred that is so prevalent in the rest of the world. I'd say this mosque, given their intentions are truly legit (I don't know enough to judge, but let's assume), would be an excellent show than America has grown from September 11th.

Thank you Dave. Excellent post. The hysteria is ridiculous. Like you said it's *near* Ground Zero, not where the twin towers stood.

Heard a great monologue on NPR's Tell Me More the other day that is applicable:
http://www.npr.org/template...

"It seems strange to me that the richest and most powerful country on Earth, with a free-flowing access to information, many avenues to disseminate it, continues to be ruled in some important aspects by fear of the unknown, especially at a time when it is possible to know a very great deal.

I wonder what kind of leadership it would require to allow us to experience this world as the wonderfully surprising place that it is, as my neighbor put it, instead of lurching from panic to panic."
