    In which I discuss my car accident… started by mrshl
    Yes, yes, ya’ll. Today a dude ran a red light at the corner of 610/Fannin and smashed my car as it was turning left. It doesn’t appear as though he ever saw me or even slowed down. Because I was driving to work, I was alone in the car, which is a good thing. Because
    Google’s gay pride about to earn them a trip to the No-Spin zone. started by mrshl
    I’ll let Duncan Riley explain:

    Users who type the word “gay” into Google are being presented with a little extra in their search results: a rainbow flag between the results and ads.

    The rainbow flag (also known as a gay pride flag) represen

    Firefox 3: Today is Download Day started by mrshl
    Today the Mozilla foundation is releasing the third iteration of their popular Firefox browser. Only “release” doesn’t quite capture the hype they’re generating. No, they’re trying to set a world record. You can help them by downloading a copy today beginnin
    A couple of posts from Mental Floss started by mrshl
    Over on Life is a Thrill, I regularly share posts from Mental Floss, a superb “all things considered” kind of blog that regularly includes interesting links, lunchtime quizzes, and engaging trivia. All in the name of edu-tainment.

    A quick post about Weezer. started by mrshl
    As Weezer gets ready to release another of their single-color, eponymous records (you will remember the legendary Blue record and the not-totally-terrible Green record), I thought I’d take a moment to provide an alternate take on the frequently attacked rock band.
    Our wedding photos are up… started by mrshl
    More than 1,000 of them, all available via Pictage. It’s pretty slick. You get your own log-in, and you can mark pictures as favorites then return to order prints if you want. Also, Jordan and I can see which photos you mark as favorites, so please let us know which ones you li

    Playing Pinball on the Wii started by mrshl
    Holy crap. Jordan and I spent much of last night playing Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. We picked up the Wii game for 19.99 at Target, and couldn’t pass it up since we had played the earlier Gottlieb Collection on Nintendo GameCube and loved it. The moment we put it i
    Facebook is your new Internet. started by mrshl
    Facebook isn’t just a social network anymore. It’s expanding to embrace other sites and applications we used to view as separate. What do I mean? Simply that Facebook is the new Myspace, but it’s also Twitter. And LiveJournal. And Flickr. It’s all
    Emusic Downloads for May started by mrshl
    I’m not sure this month’s downloads are entirely successful, ‘cuz I’ve not done a lot of listening. But one thing I’m sure about: What Makes a Man Start Fires will not be regretted. The documentary, We Jam Econo, got me a
    This is where I post about the Wedding. started by mrshl
    Don’t worry. I’m not going to write a long-winded recap about the single most important, amazing day of my life. That’s why we have pictures. More on those in a second. First things first: I want to thank all the family and friends who attended our wedding,
    Culture Warrior is digging The Octopus Project started by mrshl
    Our fellow local bloggers at Culture Warrior are plugging our pals the Octopus Project today. They even name check the pre-Octopus improvisational ensemble, Invisible Robot Fish, a band that also included LIAT-ers Matt Brownlie and yours truly. Head over there for some tour dates and mp3 action.
