Like rain on your wedding day*
Jeff: Do evangelical Christians realize the staggering irony of dismissing Obama’s message of “hope” as meaningless and ineffective? * Not ironic
Mighty Snake
Amelia drew a picture and told the story of Mighty Snake. I took her drawing and recorded story, then put it all together in iMovie. You can see the result here…
Love = Carlton Fisk

Last.fm + YouTube Mashup
I’ve been meaning to check out Last.fm + YouTube = music tv goodness for a while, and it’s pretty cool: If you have a Last.fm account, plug it in and watch videos by bands you like. It’s like a personalized MTV (back when MTV actually played videos, of course). Here’s “my” channel.
