- Transit for Livable Communities has relaunched their website. Much easier to navigate, interact, and subscribe to their content!
- I’ve linked the Secretary of State’s website several times lately for voting-related information. Holy cow, is that site chock full of data porn. Start on their publications page and drill down through the Minnesota Legislative Manuals. They’ve got results of every Minnesota election ever, how Minnesota has voted in national elections, a record of all amendments proposed to Minnesota’s constitution, maps and lists galore, etc., whatnot, and the like.
- Bill at Lazy Lightning wants to warn you of clueless, sleazy internet marketers.
- The Minneapolis Park Board is once again seeking input from patrons. This time it’s for the Capital Improvement Plan portion of the Comprehensive Plan. Take the biking/walking/rolling survey (reference the current Bike/Walk/Roll Plan) or the field sports survey (reference the current Field Sports Plan). Both are accessible from minneapolisparks.org. Both surveys close on November 27. Plan plan plan plan plan plan plan plan plan.
- Minnesota’s only astronaut, Saint Paul native Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper is about to make her second trip into space. Check out her pre-flight interview. I like St. Paul. It’s a nice area. It’s a big enough city that you feel like you’re in civilization but it’s not overwhelming. It has four seasons even though you get very extreme winters but I like cold. It’s nice to have cold because you know that in a couple of months, it’s going to get warm and then in summer time, when it gets hot, you know, pretty soon it will be cold again. So, it was a nice place to grow up. (via About)
- Are you reading Because Emily Says So? She cracks my shit up. Read “To the lady with ‘H2′ vanity plates.” Because I said so.
- The state of Minnesota is awarding several-hundred-thousand-dollar grants to various medical institutions to spend on implementing electronic health record systems. The grants are meant to help providers that may have limited resources to meet a state requirement for the electronic systems… State law requires all Minnesota health care providers to begin using an electronic prescribing system by 2011, and to use full electronic health records by 2015. By the way, investing in electronic health information technology systems is part of President-elect Obama’s strategy to lower health care costs (pdf).
- Ciceron.tv talks to Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak about “why Minneapolis is poised to be a great leader in the digital marketplace as well as how the Internet has changed political discourse and leadership.”
