Why We’re Here: Twin Cities from Seven and Sixty Productions on Vimeo. It’s a nice video, but I wonder how different it would be if they filmed it in the winter!

Born This Way
Born This Way is an awesome blog that I found where gay people post the first photo of them as children that speaks to their sexuality, and the stories that accompany the photos. The blog author seems pretty adamant about not putting any photos or texts on your own blog without contacting him, and I [...]

In India, right?
My latest Minnesotan Indianism… I was really excited to happen across a band the other day with a tabla player! Since there are so few tabla players here (I assume), I waited till the set ended so I could go over and introduce myself and find out if there’s a tabla community. He was a [...]

Quantity or Quality of Indians?
My friends Unny, Mahi, and I make up three of the four Indian amigos (if I could say ‘friends’ in Tamil I would put it here). The fourth is Kedar who left us for his MBA…talk about Indian. When we get together we occasionally talk about non-Indian things, like veganism or winter biking, but often [...]

Songs about Minnesota (and Ohio..and the mid-west)
This song is pretty catchy..although I feel pretty unhip for not really getting why we would say “shh” about anything? Perhaps it’s a Mid-west thing? Despite it’s catchiness, I’m going to use it to complain. I fundamentally don’t get why people are so against populated cities. I’m a person, I’m packed in a city – [...]

North American dialects
I’ve been sitting on this picture/webpage for a while. It’s a guy who’s mapped out all the dialects in North America as a hobby. It’s pretty awesome but the problem is it’s soooo unintuively laid out that it’s hard to do anything with it. So I gave up, and I just present it here. Some [...]
