Another welcome expansion to ArtPrize!

Remember when Dallas was going to host an expansion of ArtPrize? The three-year agreement was set to begin in 2016, but ArtPrize Dallas was cancelled because of funding and some who "saw the concept as threatening to the status quo." It seems Dallas is having second thoughts after introducing two ArtPrize-like sculptures made out of tires.

ArtPrize and Michigan House today announced that the fourth iteration of Michigan House, a roving pop-up space, will serve as a home away from home for Michigan music and a space for discussion during South by Southwest 2016 in Austin, Texas.

You wouldn't think the English language could change so much throughout a single country, but there's a really big difference in words' pronunciations north, south, east and west. Moving up here from Texas last year, I've begun learning a lot about how things are said here. And I have to be honest: I'm still not any good at the words. I will still say 'Mack-in-nack' Island, but mostly for funnies

Three people, from North Carolina, Texas and Puerto Rico won the 564 million dollar Powerball jackpot last night. Life changing money. Or just life changing. For the worse?

Ah, technology. With the advances over the years, it's pretty hard to stay anonymous. Take, for instance, this pair of apparent iPad thieves in suburban Houston.

I have to admit, hanging out and "living" in a large retail store would probably be kinda fun. Like when sitcom TV characters are locked in some sort of funny predicament. Fonzie and the gang locked in Mr. C's vault in Cunningham Hardware. The "Friends" friends in the bedroom, while Ross and Rachel discuss their break-up.

When the "Three Stars of the Game" happen at Van Andel Arena, I pick from 3 or 4 songs to play. "Shining Star" by Earth, Wind and Fire or "Starry Eyed Surprise". Maybe even "Counting Stars". But I didn't expect when the Stars won in overtime Friday night I didnt think the Stars would end the Griffs season so quick.

Not in Michigan though. Don't think we will ever see 85 mph on 131 or 96 anytime soon. Legally I mean...;) State officials in Texas are looking to make a stretch of highway between San Antonio and Austin the second fastest road in the world, behind some places in Poland. The toll road would have a legal speed limit of 85. Some roads in Texas already are posted at 80.
