I’m not a home expert by any means. I don’t know much about fixing things. But I’m pretty confident bath mats aren’t supposed to turn black. I started with a beige mat. Now, it is turning black in some areas. Again, I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure that’s mold. Or mildew. Or something else [...]

‘Drink your beer, eat your bacon’

Yes, this was a real quote from this morning’s speaker at the Eighth Annual Regional Bioscience Conference. I had never been to the bioscience conference before today. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what it even was. So when I had the opportunity to go this morning, I agreed. I went as part of my [...]
My quest for knowledge is right on track. And I’m getting closer to answering my question. The question I posed was “Where is the music coming from?” I was walking from the Daily Globe office to Azteca for lunch yesterday and I heard the music. I posed the question to Darlene Macklin, the Executive Director [...]
Where is that music coming from?

Well, do you know? I’m not crazy. Or at least I’m pretty confident in that fact. But where in the world is that music? Do you hear it? I bet you have. Here’s the story. I was walking from the Daily Globe office to El Azteca for lunch with colleagues Justine and Ana. As we [...]
The most boring post in the world
Posted: 28th March 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: boring, nothing to do
This doesn’t happen very often. Not to me anyway. But I have nothing to say. I’m normally the one who always has something to say. Even if it doesn’t make sense. Or is random. But there’s something. Right now, I got nothing. Nothing really exciting has happened to me today. Or last night. It was [...]
Heights and I do not get along

I do not like heights. I never have. And I probably never will. I don’t do roller coasters. Or hot air balloons. And only recently did I get on an airplane. So when it was recently suggested I go on top of Okabena Towers a few blocks from the Globe office, I was a little [...]
Wearing a tux

I very much enjoy wearing tuxedos. I’m not sure why, but I always have. I think it’s because it’s special. It’s something different. It’s not normal. Perhaps it’s from the years and years of wearing jeans and a t-shirt, but I always feel different when I wear a tuxedo. So, I try to wear one [...]
It’s time. After months of planning and anticipation, it’s time for the annual Daily Globe Women’s Expo Health and Home Show. The doors have just opened at Minnesota West, so there is still plenty of time to come on out and check out the 80-plus booths and exciting seminars. There is a chance to win [...]
Women’s Expo is tomorrow!

Will you be there? I will. The annual Daily Globe Women’s Expo Health & Home show is tomorrow. And I can’t wait. I know, it’s a women’s expo and I’m certainly not a woman. But I do enjoy it. Last year, reporter Justine Wettschreck invited me to sit in the Daily Globe booth with her. [...]
What is bigger than a terabyte?
Posted: 22nd March 2012 by Aaron Hagen in UncategorizedTags: computers, storage, terabyte
Sitting around the newsroom, we had that very questions. Well, the question started as to what TB stood for — when it came to computer terms, at least. That, I knew. It’s a terabyte. I have two external hard drives hooked up to my computer, both are one terabyte each. And one is nearly full. [...]
