Just because it is winter in the Northland does not mean you have to keep that grill covered up until Spring. Take off that cover and let's go!

If you mention Oregon Trail to people of a certain age, you'll undoubtedly get a reaction of excitement and nostalgia. Thanks to The Internet Archive, you'll now be able to play this classic and several hundred others for free online.

Ian occasionally orders some bizarre foods from overseas to try them out. Today, he offered me a green tea Kit Kat from a variety pack from Japan. Here's how my taste test went.

Cooper and I were talking this morning about how I was cruising through T.V. channels and stumbled upon the movie Back to the Future II on New Years Day. Coincidence, I think not.

The folks at Lake Superior State University in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan have released their annual list of banished words from the year that was. The school has made a tradition of creating a list of tired words, with this being the 40th such list from LSSU.

Those in marking and public relations try some interesting things to grab people's attention, including using a little innuendo to get people talking. The South Dakota Department of Public Safety has such a campaign on their hands, and they may have taken things a little too far.

If you're one of the thousands of people that either fell in love with the icy natural wonders of the Apostle Islands ice caves or you regret not being able to make the trip last year, I have some good news!

A Minnesota Hunter named Brandon Johnson has a story truly for the record books, along with a stuffed bear to prove it.

If you are a fan of Ellen DeGeneres and of music, BOOM, we have got the ultimate prize for you this Holiday season!
