Recycling Computers and Other Electronics

Apr 24, 2012 15 Comments

I am curious if anyone has ideas and/or suggestions for getting rid of old techno-dinosaurs. I am spring cleaning and simply want to make sure I get rid of things in an eco-friendly and rather cost-effective way (like free or darn close). I’ll be getting rid of a central processing unit, printer, cables and whatever else surfaces.

If I recall correctly there is an annual drive in Duluth, but I can’t figure out the particulars, hosted by someone with interest in the same things. Ideas, fellow PDDers? And thank you in advance.

This is a first rate exhibit that you shouldn’t miss if you follow the local arts scene. UWS professor Bill Morgan has influenced many art students and broadened their experience. There’s plenty to see.

Where in Duluth to engagement-ring shop?

Apr 23, 2012 15 Comments

I’m new(er) to the area and beginning my search for an engagement ring.  Any suggestions for where to start in Duluth?  I can Google all of the jewelers in the area, but does anyone have a particularly good experience or an opinion on the best place to start?

More brother-on-brother nerf violence as Allen defends against attack inside Gonzo Science headquarters. Both men use a full-auto Stampede ECS. In addition Jim deploys an impenetrable “Captain America” shield.

Bars Near UMD and CSS Campuses

Apr 23, 2012 21 Comments

Is there a city ordinance that prohibits businesses in the neighborhood around the University of Minnesota Duluth and the College of St. Scholastica from having full liquor licenses? Why is it that the nearest bar to campus is Burrito Union and not something around Woodland or by V.I.P. Pizza? Anyone have any ideas on that?

I’m a little late this year, but here is the annual call. We’re looking for your Homegrown photos! The guidelines are the same as always. We’ll rotate Homegrown images in that extremely horizontal and hard-to-fit-a-photo-into space at the top of the page during next week’s festivities.

This week: nerd-in-chief rambles, women are people, country music, networked computers and an inconceivable movie

Apr 23, 2012 4 Comments

Here’s a smattering of things listed on the Perfect Duluth Day Calendar this week.

If you didn’t catch our mayor, Don Ness, at the Harbor City Roller Dames bout on Saturday you can hear him talk about “The Walking Subcaucus” at Nerd Nite 16 on Wednesday or have lunch with him at Tycoons on Thursday as he chats with the Chamber of Commerce about his “90 by 20” initiative.

Take Back the Night March is on Thursday because, apparently, this country requires a remedial lesson on women’s rights.

The Teatro Zuccone is being transformed into the Grand Ole Teatro on Thursday featuring some great local musicians playing originals and country covers. Yee to the haw!

If you are in the mood to virtually blow up things there’s a free LAN party at Lake Superior College starting Friday afternoon.

The Princess Bride is at the Zinema 2 Saturday morning so please put your favorite quote from the movie in the comments below.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know!
