One of the problems of updating this poor thing so rarely is the prolonged prominence of time-pertinent pop culture postings. When I mentioned the Killers below, they barely registered outside of Vegas. Now they're the baseline for other retro-vival rock groups. (Though that crown should, in a just world, sit atop the Dandy Warhols collectively deserving head.)
So the next link will get stale fast, as the meme's already tipping:
Google Maps. This is to Mapquest what Gmail is to AOL's craptastic mail client. At Toto's party, the ever-aware Topher mentioned that it's now live. And that the tool does little unadvertised things like point out free wireless access points around town.
A post-snowshoeing craving set my fingers on a quest for the as-of-yet unfound restaurant to replace Nashville's Samurai Sushi in my heart. "97293 sushi" mapped every raw fish joint on the east side, along with a clean interface, cute lil' flags, and links to restaurant reviews. Cafe K Sushi stood out from the crowd, and it now claims a new regular.
The tool's pretty as peaches. Even the cartographically boring bits of town, like our old office location there.
Old, I say? Yup, the Bus Project's moving. Beautiful, isn't it? So's the view. Not bad for an upstart lil' nonprofit, eh? This is what happens when moderate business people realize that the grassroots progressive movement looks out for their interests better than the neocons.
An update on my life in the month-point-five since I've put anything here: been workin'. If you're curious re: what I'm up to (or, better yet, how to wrestle this state and the rest of the union out of right wing control), get on the list. I have a pretty heavy hand in the chuckley newsletter we send out each week.
Just a lil' recap: since turning the state Senate, my lil' nonprofit's put on Third Thursday socio-politi-drinking sessions, launched PolitiCorps (a youth immersion program), lobbied for stable school funding, restructured, orchestrated our move, and spearheaded oodles o' nuggets that wouldn't be prudent for me to post here yet.
So I'm perpetually slammed. It may be newsletter or nothing for a while.
...Though I won't mention through that medium that I just saw movie #1200: Le Déclin de l'empire américain. No, it wasn't a French response to the current wacko administration. It was a 1986 French-Canadian (partial) response to the almost-as-wacko administration we had at the time. Recommended for those who've already been taught the birds/bees.

Do I really have to give your organization all that info? Can't you just add edgeofhearing@g... to your list?
Also, it's good to see you posting.
Name and email will suffice. You're taken care of, Lucas.
