Since I made a now regretted promise to post here upon passing the bar, I am making good on that promise in the most entertaining way I can come up with.

It’s time for another super link. That is, if you can take another one so soon. Some have their doubts.

• This week’s text toy featured above is found here.
• A neat bit of pointlessness for the OSX users in the audience
• The Atlanta Aquarium is nearing completion, but maybe they should have held off so they could replace the Plexiglas™ with transparent aluminum.
• A reservation at The French Laundry is notoriously hard to get. Here’s some tips.

• This week’s fun new word: Portmanteau.
• Risk enters the new millennium in the form of Lux. Other games have fared not nearly so well

• And Speaking of their games: The Ministry of Reshelving may be monitored via flickr.

The Brontosaurus – Monty Python’s flying creationism. By William Saletan:

Townhall.com :: amendment outlaws Marrage in Texas! :

But, sadly, the fact is that the inclusion of that one simple word bars the state from recognizing ANY marital status of any kind. The only legal status “identical” to marriage IS marriage! If this law passes ALL MARRIAGES IN THE STATE OF TEXAS WILL BE LEGALLY NULL AND VOID!
