Favre broke Marino's touchdown pass record on September 30, 2007, at the Metrodome (Wikipedia)
Brett, Welcome to Minneapolis.
I’ve been a transplant from Hattiesburg, MS for 10 years. If you’re looking for some creature comforts from back home then here are some of my suggestions. (Yes… most of them are about food.)
1) Sweet tea is hard to find.
One of my first disappointments was the lack of sweet tea that was served at local restaurants. The only location that I found was Copeland’s but they closed down after Katrina. If you’re looking for sweet tea you’ll have to hit McDonalds or one of the few Sonic locations.
2) Best Place for Seafood, Po-boys and Black Beans and Rice.
You’ll probably hear quite a few suggest that you should check out Dixie’s. My suggestion is to skip it. You’re going to be disappointed by the lack of seasoning on everything. Instead check out the Sea Salt Eatery. I promise you won’t be disappointed. They have some of the best black beans and rice around anywhere. They are open seasonally from April through October.
3) Yes, we have Sonic but unfortunately not Ward’s.
Unlike Mississippi, Sonic locations are not on every street corner. (Sonic is the Starbucks of the south.) You’ll have to drive and wait in line. You can look for a location here.
4) Where to get Zapps potato chips.
You used to have to order them online or have someone ship bags up. Not anymore, visit a Potbelly Sandwich Shop. They carry all the different flavors.
5) If you want watch Southern Miss football (or for me Mississippi State) you better have DirecTV.
From time to time you’ll get a game or two on one of the local affiliates. Chances of that are slim to none you’ll see any Raycom Broadcasting games like on WDAM Channel 7.
Again welcome and hope ya’ll like the area. Good luck with this upcoming season with the Vikings.

This is a really creative video from Luke Jackson. Luke lived in London before returning to Sweden in January of 2008. Obviously by the title and lyrics he was happy to go.

As a kid I loved Tron. My friends and I would take paper plates and throw them at each other pretending that we were having a light disk fight. (Yes, being a geek starts at an early age.) You can imagine my excitement to see that there’s a new Tron movie that will appear in theaters in 2010 named Tron Legacy.
I’ll have to refrain from having any more paper plate light disk fights in the yard. I’m not sure the neighbors would understand.
Here’s the clip in all it’s glory!

BF1943 is crashing and burning for some users - Photo Credit: EA
First it was server capacity issues and now there are reports of the recently released Battlefield 1943 is causing some XBOX360s to lock up. I myself am a victim of this issue.
Some have reported that clearing the XBOX 360’s cache has helped resolve this problem.
Here’s how you do it…
1) Go to System Info in the XBOX360 menu
2) Choose Memory
3) Highlight your Hard Drive and press the “Y” key on your controller
4) Then press X, X, LB, RB, X,X
5) Choose OK (Process should take about 3 seconds)
6) Your all done.
Try restarting the game to see if it works.
Unfortunately this did not resolve my issue. I’ll just have to patiently wait for EA to fix the problem. (EA…. Help?)

I just needed to find something funny to watch so I poked around Hulu.com. Personally, I think that this is one of the funnest clips from Family Guy. Enjoy…

When I was a child, I was infatuated with Michael Jackson. I remember my parents gave me the cassette tape when the album Thriller came out. I remember sitting in he middle of the living room floor chanting “Michael, Michael!” as he won award after award while I watched on TV. My mom said something that I remember to this day… “Remember, he’s just a person.”
My mom was right in so many ways.
Not since since Icarus has someone flown so high (“King of Pop”) and sunk so low (child abuse accusations). As I hear about his passing, it’s sad. Not the death itself, but that someone who had so much promise had stumble down the path that lead to the alleged accidental overdose of prescription medication leading to cardiac arrest.
It’s amazing how a king can be such a pauper.
