A page of pictures of Marcel Breuer architecture.
Breuer designed several homes near where I grew up. Someday. Someday.
Anyone in my MN circle done this? If you haven't it'd be a good thing to add to your Schemer list..

On Saturday, my friend Danielle and I got to try something awesome. Minneapolis' Minnehaha Falls freezes during winter. There's a little splattering of water still falling over the ledge, but most of it turns into this wonderful array of temporary stalagmites and stalactites, hanging like a curtain in front of a shallow indent in the rock.
I'd heard about people who climbed behind the ice before, but I'd always assumed you'd need special equipment--ropes and crampons--to get back there safely. Turns out, that's not the case. The hollow in the cliff face is shallow, but it's wide enough that you can just saunter on in with little trouble.
I posted one of these shots from my phone yesterday. Here's the rest of the set.

Also note that that really old paper was for Gopher+, not Google+.

Hope you liked it? :-)
Amazing film! At first I was like "Hmm, very artsy, but pretty average." But after a few days later I wanted to watch it again and again and every scene became memorable. Let's just say I am not joking when I say I have watched this movie at least twenty times.
It was quite good -- very Woody Allen. Loved how they captured the period. Good casting too.
Completely agree. Plus I think I have enjoyed this exhibition http://www.albertina.at/jart/prj3/albertina/main.jart?rel=en&reserve-mode=active&content-id=12023071... much more, than I could possibly do without watching the movie. Felt like meeting old acquaintance again.
It was a really entertaining movie, I think it helped that I'd seen no trailers though.
Fun movie, but I'm a sucker for Woody Allen. :)
So many things to do and I get sucked into doing map edits.

So many things to do and I get sucked into doing map edits. It's impressive -- edits go live extremely quickly. I added some trailhead parking lots and restrooms, reservoirs, and walking trails..

I totally feel like a Hipster saying this .. but I liked Jean Dujardin before he got and Oscar. Such a funny movie.. and actually very re-watchable.
