Actually my wife does most of the shopping, but I do find some really good deals on Amazon. You haven't been there? You should give it a try.
Amazon is the world's largest big box store. I do mean big box! There are millions of products to choose from. A great number of them are just a day away if you want. But to me the best part of Amazon is the (almost) free shipping. It is called "Prime.” You must pay a $100 annual fee for Prime but once you have done that there is no shipping for…

On February 10th, a majority of House Republicans rejected the Anti-Discrimination Bill that would make it illegal to discriminate on basis of sexuality or gender identity. Their reasons for rejection were very similar to the reasons they rejected similar bills in 2009, 2013, and 2015. They perceived this bill as something that would impede religious freedoms and put undue pressure on religious individuals.
In the years prior, they also maintained that discrimination did not occur in our…

During the early days of my transition, I came out to a friend of mine as transgender. His reaction to that was asking “Do you mean like RuPaul?” I didn’t know how to answer that question because, at the time, I had no idea who RuPaul was.
So, later that night, I did some research on RuPaul and started to get really offended because I realized my friend was comparing my transition to the life of a drag queen.
I was offended because that comparison amounted to calling my identity a…

I have been asked many times about email. Email and texting are the preferred methods of communications among geeks. Most email services are free, so that is the good news. Yahoo, Google, and others, have standardized and simplified email. Texting is used by the thirty somethings and younger on their smartphones because it is more immediate. This, of course, brings it's own set of problems such as walking into things while texting and running into things while driving. Most of my…

Ask almost any current student or alumni of the three universities, North Dakota State University (NDSU), Minnesota State University Moorhead (MSUM), or Concordia, and they could probably give you details of the rumors or stories they had been told about strange happenings that have occurred in…

It’s that time of the year, the mean winter blues are starting to sink in, and one of the last things on your mind might be the thought that winter can be fun.
Frostival is a celebration and series of events highlighting the lighter side of winter and was the brainchild of Fargo-Moorhead Convention & Visitors Bureau CEO Charley Johnson. The idea was to embrace winter, get people outside, and be active.
We had a chance to catch up with Nicole Holden, the Director of Marketing from the…

I have a love-hate relationship with downhill skiing. Every year in elementary school, us kids would be treated to a trip to the local ski hill for a day. The first time I went, the experience was completely new to me and I struggled to even latch the rental ski boots onto my feet. The second time, I was a little more confident with skiing, but wound up getting sick and vomiting on the car ride home. On my last annual elementary ski trip, I didn’t feel like I’d throw up, so I left…
