![]() ![]() TV show: Again, AMC's "Breaking Bad." This show gets darker and better each season. I could tolerate the Brewers' "Beast Mode" to a certain extent, but trash-talking a team like the Cardinals was stupid. Worst idea: Nyjer Morgan taunting Albert Pujols on Twitter. I don't see all the fuss, but I'm glad that our readers did. Something that took just a few minutes to write was read by more than 200,000 people. Weirdest Milwaukee obsession: Had you told me that putting up an interview with "Front Row" Amy Williams, Brewers' super fan, would garner 11 percent of all of October traffic, I'd never believe you. I hope I can someday return to this super-cool area and appreciate even more of its natural beauty and welcoming attitude from the locals. It was a great, fun and romantic trip, learning about a part of the state I've never seen. Road trip: As part of the "Seven Wonders of Wisconsin" travel series we did on this summer, my wife and I drove up to Bayfield and the Apostle Islands. ![]() The closest I came to a great one was "Contagion," but it petered out near the end. Movie: I only saw a few, and honestly, I struck out. And hey, Ryan Braun winning the NL MVP wasn't too bad, either. It's almost too soon and too painful for me to even talk about it. I still can't believe how close this team came to winning it all. For me, the single best moment was the victory in game five over the Diamondbacks in the NLDS (though that first game against the Cardinals in the NLCS was a close second). But as bigger Brewers fan than Packers fan, the Crew's playoff run during October is what had me singularly focused in 2011. One of my favorite bands, playing one of my favorite albums – I could almost close my eyes and it was 1989 all over again.Įvent: Any other year, it would be easy to call the Packers' Super Bowl victory over the Steelers the Wisconsin event of the decade. It's a great book that documents the life of a man who changed the world.Ĭoncert: I'd already seen The Pixies twice before their show at the Eagles Ballroom on April 23, but this time, the concert was exactly what I was looking for: a song-by-song recreation of my favorite Pixies' album, "Doolittle." One could argue that this iconic band was sleepwalking just a little bit through the set, but it didn't matter to me. As an entrepreneur, I see little bits of myself in him, though each of those traits are multiplied a million times in Jobs. Steve was a jerk, a genius, a visionary and a stubborn perfectionist. But the study on the man behind Apple, himself, is what moved me most. For me, it really filled in the blanks to a story that I largely already knew. Still, I found enough solitary moments to read Walter Isaacson's amazing biography on the late Steve Jobs. Rather than gloss over my thoughts about why Tim deserves this honor, you can read my expanded thoughts here.īook: With a 3-year-old yanking on me during most of my non-work waking hours, who's got time to read? I know I don't. Person: I was literally writing this paragraph about nominating our coworker, Tim Cuprisin, for my 2011 Milwaukeeans of the year, when his girlfriend called me to tell me that he had passed away. But not all was bad, and even a herniated disc couldn't keep me from enjoying a lot about Milwaukee in 2011.
