Unexpected connections
Digest time.
It’s a little strange when you learn that two people you’ve known since college (but have had only sparse contact with in the time intervening) have not only been going out for seven years, but just got engaged! This is what I found out when I went to a “Welcome to Seattle” party tonight that ended up being an impromptu engagement celebration. Congratulations, Angela and Roan!
Lovely package arrived this afternoon from CD Baby, containing recently ordered CDs. You know you’re dealing with a special company when the confirmation e-mail reads like this:

- In another coincidence, James at the Laboratorium has a new essay on the nature of popular culture, spurred on by the whole Taco Bell “Le Package Total” advertising campaign that brought me much embarrassment not two days ago.
- Zannah posted a link to a guy who makes mathematical structures out of Lego bricks. I haven’t done much of the blog-virus thing, but this is just really cool (not to mention a bit scary).
- An article in the Seattle Times about one scientist’s plan to build a 62,000-mile long elevator into space. Going up, anybody?
One last thing: B. has scary teacher’s exams coming up on Saturday, and is really stressed out. Everyone please send lucky thoughts! They’ll be appreciated.
