Whisker frost

Wicked cool hoar frost when we woke up this morning. Every outside surface seemed to have sprouted white whiskers overnight.

Check out buzzer beater, full-court shot by team captain @suits20 in last night’s Swarm home-opener. Suck it, Bandits. Cheap shots and sucker punches don’t make you guys winners.

Katie, Jesse and I made our way to the Xcel Center tonight to watch the Minnesota Swarm take on the Buffalo Bandits. And to rep the Cherokee Nation for Native American Heritage Night with the Swarm.

This had to be one of the best lax games I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of lacrosse games over the years. Highlights of the night were captain Andrew Suitor’s full-court shot at the buzzer to score a goal in an empty Buffalo net, as well as the phenomenal play of rookie goalie Tyler Carlson.

Final score was 19-11 Minnesota, for the first home victory over the Bandits in franchise history.

As many of you know, I spent some time in early October at a conference sponsored by Unity: Journalists of Color. The NewU program pairs up old guys like me with smart, talented entrepreneurs who are making things happen on the new frontier of media. I was fortunate to be paired up with Yvonne Leow, founder of the storytelling/fund-raising site Noowah.

At the end of our conference, Yvonne and her classmates recorded 1 minute video pitches and are now competing for $10,000 in startup cash. (Read Yvonne’s post about the competition here). I particularly liked Yvonne’s marriage of compelling stories and raising funds for good causes and smaller non-profits. If you have a moment, won’t you do me a solid and watch Yvonne’s pitch and cast a vote for her? Feel free to watch all of the pitches and vote for the ones that you believe have the best chance at success.You can vote for one pitch from each of the affiliate groups per day.

All of these NewU entrepreneurs are blazing new trails in media. I can’t wait to see where they are taking us.

We took the light rail to downtown Minneapolis with 10 teen girls and shopped and took photos, ending up at the Melting Pot for chocolate fondue (three types of chocolate FTW). Now they are all in the living room, eating junk and playing Just Dance 2 with Katie.

Day 11, Baby

Day 11 of my fund-raising campaign for Movember as part of Team: Minnesota Swarm. The moustache is filling in, although several of the follicles are not yet filled up with pigment.

Thanks to everyone who has given so far. Through your generosity, I have raised $345 $365 for men’s health research and support. Read more about Movember and the organizations it supports here.

If you haven’t yet donated, won’t you consider a small donation to help me reach my goal of $500? You may give online here.
