Are you all using del.icio.us? It’s so cool! I’m just throwing all my bookmarks in there. I can access them from anywhere, they are organized by tags, and I get to see other people’s bookmarks, too. It’s seriously fun! Why did it take me so long to figure out what the hell this did? I’ve been seeing it around for ages!

Update: The non-Abby, plain del.icio.us link was problematic, and I’ve repaired it. Sorry ’bout that.
Some info I’ve learned:
I don’t usually use my blog to seek out opinions, but tell me this… What happened here? What’s your theory? Is it the legacy of MLK being shot here? Is it related to its location on the Mississippi? Did freed slaves get stuck here? I mean really… I’d love to know what you think, because things here are statistically quite bad – way worse than average.
I’ve been downloading mashups recently. That’s when people mix together several songs. Many of these suck, but here’s a Boing Boing review of a really great one. Click on the link at the bottom of the review.
I’ve been reading Morgan Spurlock’s blog for a while now. He was the guy who ate every meal at McDonald’s for 30 days to create "Supersize Me." He didn’t take home the Oscar, but he did make an important movie that got nominated. Today on his blog, he documents his Oscar experience. It’s a facinating read: a normal person at an extraordinary event.
Oh, and incidentally, Morgan and Alex, the lovely vegan chef who supported him through this whole wacky experiment, are engaged. Congratulations!
This is Kristin Hersh playing for me (and a few other people) in Bloomington, Indiana on my birthday a year and a half ago. OK, the gig just happened to be on my birthday, but it was a great present!
