Life In The Great Midwest: First Of The Season
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2015/07/first-of-season.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. First Of The Season. Nothing says Life In The Great Midwest better than the first picked sweet corn on the cob of the season. I live for this stuff. Today I drove to our farm to check on the trail cams. Nothing on the cams so more bait was placed out in order to get some of the whitetails interested in a few summer scout season snapshots. Alfalfa is about the only crop on our farm worth a crap. The local sweet corn is one of the many crops suffering. I drove to the farm on on...

Life In The Great Midwest: Our Disastrous Energy Policy, Continued
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2015/08/our-disastrous-energy-policy-continued.html
Sunday, August 02, 2015. Our Disastrous Energy Policy, Continued. New clean air act regulations have recently been proposed by the EPA. What is interesting is that the EPA recently had their ever-expanding mandate struck down by the Supreme court. Just a few short weeks ago, when their attempt to kill off coal through regulation of mercury and other pollutants was invalidated for not sufficiently weighing the cost of the proposed initiative. That brings forward a well funded plan from billionaire Anschut...

Life In The Great Midwest: State Liquor Control Taxes
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2007/11/state-liquor-control-taxes.html
Sunday, November 18, 2007. State Liquor Control Taxes. On Saturday night, I was doing what I usually do, which is head over to the giant and amazingly well-stocked BINNY'S liquor store right by my condominium in Chicago (as documented in this "action" post. Because my posts were too boring w/out photos and the video software was too time consuming to mess with). Which explains the amount of alcohol that a resident can bring into the state and notifies residents that these laws will be enforced because of...

Life In The Great Midwest: Big Data Analytics
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2015/08/big-data-analytics.html
Saturday, August 08, 2015. Big data analytics is all the rage today in Technology. Companies can't hire people with titles like "data scientist" fast enough. Here's an article. About a guy who went from waiting tables to making $100,000 a year after a coding boot camp (note - he is a ringer - he at least was a math major in college. but they have other more surprising ones like English majors as well). The real issue, however, is "what insights come from all of this data we've collected? My final auto sh...

Life In The Great Midwest: Oregon Road Trip Part I
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2015/07/oregon-road-trip-part-i.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Oregon Road Trip Part I. Recently I went to Oregon for the first time. In my past work as a consultant and during vacations I'd been to 48 states - but not Oregon or Hawaii. We started out in Portland and traveled around most of the state and it was a good time, with a lot of odd insights. But here's something from Portlandia that is real. Voodoo Donuts which had a line that stretched a long way in front of the store, and people bought big pink boxes of donuts. This looked ...Looks...

Life In The Great Midwest: The "Amazon-ification" of Retail
http://lifeinthegreatmidwest.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-amazon-ification-of-retail.html
Friday, July 03, 2015. The "Amazon-ification" of Retail. A while back I was talking to a friend of mine and he said. A package from Amazon shows up at my doorstep every day of the week. At the time I thought my friend was exaggerating, or perhaps a little bit crazy. But now it has moved to the point where I usually receive 1-2 packages each week from Amazon and now the yellow "minion" boxes abound in my condo. Oh, that's what I needed. For a brief moment I periodically feel bad for local merchants; why c...

Life In The Great Midwest: Farm To Table

Wednesday, July 29, 2015. Could it be that eggs that were free to roam the countryside may taste superior to eggs that were imprisoned in a tiny nest with many other eggs? Labels: Signs Of Stupidity.
