12 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY: The Minneapolis Arts Commission recently released their "survey on the arts" results - well, as is their wont, they sucked out all the nuance and combined everybody's answers into a confusing infograph. I'm definitely in there, though! Shockingly, Mr. Kahn and Mr. Winton joined me in saying that the city needs to decrease their funding of public art, while Mr. Clark said funding could stay at the same level (which now makes me question his Libertarian bona fides).

Thanks to Sarah McKenzie of the Southwest Journal for tweeting out this link - I may not have learned about its release otherwise!
24.10.13 22:18 @tapemachines I grant that it could be nostalgia talking. Tho'...I recall getting a lot of perverse enjoyment from some o' them dogs
24.10.13 22:15 @tapemachines To your point, in the earlier eras we could get the whole spectrum from 1-10 - today feels like it's all 6-8s - I miss variety
24.10.13 22:14 @tapemachines Squash matches in the E today would sadly all be the same - which may be why they DON'T have them anymore
24.10.13 22:13 @tapemachines I would WELCOME squash matches. At least there were individual offense variants (dep on which territory superstar came from)
24.10.13 22:12 @tapemachines I'm only going off your tweets, but I'm almost certain there was more wrestling on the wrestling show all those other years.
24.10.13 21:15 RT @Dave_Schwartz: #TBT W/ my buddy @RealCurtisAxel. We wrestled that day on TV. People called in and thought I was hurt... Good times. http://pic.twitter.com/iRwJfpcvsm

13 DAYS TO ELECTION DAY: So The Loft Literary Center sent out a questionnaire to the mayoral candidates, looking to gauge...I forget, actually. Our "literariness," I guess. Actually, I have their email, so why don't I quote it?

"As a candidate to be the mayor of Minneapolis, we're inviting you to participate in our 2013 Minneapolis Mayoral Literary Survey. As the potential head of a city that clearly values books, we hope this survey will give voters insights into how literature has helped mold and influence you as a leader."

The survey had two questions: What are your three favorite books (titles only - very serious about that!), and What book has most influenced your leadership style, and how? (Technically, that second question is a compound, but who's gonna argue with the literary center people? I'm only a TECHNICAL writer.)

They also mentioned: "The results will be published on the Loft's website (loft.org) on Thursday, October 17, 2013. We will also promote the results to the media and engage our social media networks."

Now, today being the 23rd, you can probably figure that this hasn't happened because I haven't posted a link HERE to get you over THERE. I sent an email asking if I was the only person who responded, and Deputy Director of Development Tanner Curl wrote back: "I'm afraid to report that due to lack of response, we pulled the plug. Thanks for your time in filling out the form, though, and best of luck on the campaign."

Wow, I feel like I dodged an endorsement!

Fortunately, I saved my answers, and now I'll share them with you here:

1: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams
Microserfs - Douglas Coupland
Big Secrets - William Poundstone

2: I think for me, "The Puzzle Palace" by James Bamford was the book responsible for the most noticeable impact on my world view when comparing my thoughts and ideals before reading it versus after reading it. There is a great danger in sacrificing openness and transparency for what others consider "the greater good" and everyone from the mayor on down has an obligation to shine a light on what's REALLY going on out there.

Yeah. Not great answers, but at least they WERE answers. Maybe I should have found a Minneapolis author. I wonder how many other candidates responded. I wonder if it's ironic that the literary center went back on their word to the politician? But....admittedly, I don't wonder about any of this for too long.

@BubbaGrace Oh, I'm not - I just used `what` earlier to find version string on NetBackup binaries (works!), wondered how/if it'd work on Win
23.10.13 17:24 @BubbaGrace That's ALMOST as good as a "no" :) Thanks!
23.10.13 16:44 Is there a Windows equivalent of the `what` command? (Also, how do you search on "what" when search engines think it's part of a question?)
