Fat Lorenzo’s 5600 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55417 (612) 822-2040 Here’s a South Minneapolis classic. Fat Lorenzo’s. Anyone that lives in the Nokomis area knows Fat Lorenzo’s. They are known for their pizzas, hogies, and pasta dishes. I especially like the pasta dishes, namely the Garlic Chicken Alfredo. Established in 1987, they’ve been serving…

Ted Cook’s 19th Hole Barbecue 2814 East 38th Street, Minneapolis, MN 55406 (612) 721-2023 If you’ve never eaten here, you must stop by and give it a try. It’s easily my most favorite rib shack of the bunch on this page. It’s not a restaurant though, only to go.  But the ribs are some of…

Blue Yeti Mic review

IMG_0929

I bought the Blue Yeti to simplify my life. First of all, I have a background in sound, having run concert sound for various types of gigs, ranging from bar bands, to conventions for 2000 people. I have used quite a number of mics and still have a few laying around, including an Audio Technica…

SyncServices.exe

DisplayKEY_Cradle

SyncServices.exe is a program put out by GE Supra for the display key / e-key cradle. It is used in conjuction with SyncInfoApp and stunnel-4.10.exe. The problem that I found with this app is that if you boot your computer with the cradle not attached, it sits and runs at 15% of CPU forever, that…

Microsoft Outlook 2007 Slow Problem Resolved

I’ve been dealing with a slow Outlook 2007 for about a year now. By slow, here’s what I mean: when clicking on Send/Receive, the process takes perhaps 4-5 minutes to download 75 messages totalling about 400k. I have high speed internet, and have spent much time troubleshooting Outlook. My PST file size is 300MB, not…

Microsoft Office Problem

I recently was having a problem with PowerPoint 2007 running very slowly. A switch from slide to slide in the editing view, would take anywhere from 4-20 seconds. Just typing a word would take 5 seconds per word!  This was getting very annoying. There are several good suggestions from others in the community about loading…

Microsoft Office vs Open Office

Is Open Office a viable alternative to Microsoft Office? The short answer is maybe. If you don’t need to share files with anyone else, and you only generate documents for yourself, then Open Office may work for you. I just recently installed it to get around a Microsoft problem. But unfortunately, it is not compatible…

Origami Restaurant Review

I love sushi. I can buy it at Mississippi Market in St. Paul where I do my regular grocery shopping, or at a SuperTarget in a pinch. However, sometimes, only the real stuff will do. In that case, I grab a friend and head out to a restaurant, willing to splurge on some of the…
