Minneapolis, St. Paul, Minnesota, Twins, Photos, Maps, Cities, Buildings, Transit, Cars, Landscapes, Issues, Links, Tech, Gadgets, Music.

I started weeks101.com in 1998. These days, it is Tumblr-powered. I am a Minneapolis native, so many of my posts will have some sort of local or regional element.

I also run the automotive photography blog, Photo Finish, which is a tribute to the legendary, tame racing driver, The Stig. Please check it out!

Minnesotans make up the biggest state contingent for U.S. Olympic team (via MinnPost)

Minnesota contributed more athletes to the U. S. Olympic Team than any other state, according to the U. S. Olympic Committee, though the number varies depending on your criteria. The USOC counts 21 athletes from our state, or nearly 10 percent of the 216-person team. New York is second with 19.But the USOC list shorts Minnesota by one. A big one. It omits Lindsey Vonn, who lived in Burnsville and Apple Valley and cut her skis at Buck Hill before the family moved to Vail, Colo., when she was 12 to further her skiing development. Vonn’s parents, who are divorced, moved back to the Twin Cities, and she’s got family all over the area. So let’s call it 22 Minnesotans.
