Pure pimping
It's time for my semi-regular request for people to point out new blogs and projects, either their own or others. What's new on the Twin Cities online scene?

I guess I'll start. I've been hitting the Minnesota Historical Society's Web page a lot -- specifically, the section that accompanties their Minnesota 150 exhibition.
I've sort of been working on my own verison of this with my guide to the Twin cities, which consists of stories about the sorts of historic and cultural details that more dignified historians would overlook.
I have been mapping some of these things in Google Maps. I've also been mapping Twin Cities crimes and places in the Twin Cities that are supposed to be haunted.
I just tossed up a new tumblr. southtweltfth.tumblr.com.
A few other things I've seen lately that look great:
West Bank Shop. 13 artists are setting up shop on the West Bank in that old tobacco storefront for the next few months. It's a very talented group, too, so that may prove very interesting.
David Peterson. David Petersen is co-chair at Art Of This Gallery in south Minneapolis, and his art blog, though intermittenly updated, is witty, provocative and usually hilarious.
The Masticator. Exceptionally well-written NYC-based blog by a St. Paul ex-pat with some local content.
Seemless Universe. Coleman Miller's blog is always very worthwhile.
Kitsch & Cats & Papers & Aesthetics. Like the title says.
This has been posted on here before, but I really like Minnesota Reads. It has been around since June.
I'm ejoying that one too, kc, and not just because they interviewed me.
CultureBully.com is relaunching, with an expanded staff of writers and a really cool launch event tied to DonorsChoose.org to raise money for school music and arts programs. Look for it in mid-October... soon.
I'm on Twitter frequently, tweeting as justplainbob and CleanAirChoice.

Sornie's MinnPics is so cool, I wanted to properly hyperlink it. Great shots there!
Cool indeed! Some great pics there, Sornie. Can we aford you, if ALAMN ever needs some photography done?
I recently started a blog about things to see and do in the Twin Cities:
Andy, your father's explanation of the financial meltdown is the most brilliant I have heard. Bravo to dad.
Andy's dad is obviously smarter than most commentators on TV.
Dad is a pretty sharp guy. I don't know why he doesn't have a blog, come to think of it.
Dad is a pretty sharp guy. I don't know why he doesn't have a blog, come to think of it.
He does sound sharp. But he also sounds wistful about never having taken advantage of that "booze and broads around the world" scheme.
I'm starting up the "Pube Revue" blog to review peoples' downstairs beards and moustaches.
andy...I just realized that I have Steve Blass Disease. The onset was around 6th grade.
sandburg...there has to be an easier way to get Andy to go out on a date with you.
