» Coen brothers will use St. Olaf for movie
Not only will the Coen brothers be using the Science Center at my alma mater (a building in which I spent many hours!), they are also filming just a few blocks from our home in Bloomington!

» When St. Olaf students say 'Bon appetit!' they really mean it
It’s true — the food really is delicious, and if you have dietary restrictions, you will be taken care of. Case in point: My brother, Ryan, has a severe turkey allergy. (Yeah, Thanksgiving with our family is always interesting!) During his years at St. Olaf when eating a special student government functions (especially at the president’s house), then-manager Marietta would always prepare him a special plate — from a lovely salmon to filet mignon.

please don’t use tables even though they work fine
when it come to indexing they give searches a hard time
and
describe your doctype so the browser can relate
make sure you do it great or it won’t validate
brilliant!

» Posterous: Blog by e-mail
And I thought Tumblr was easy to use. Apparently, not easy enough. Meet Posterous!
Since I started blogging, it’s been really interesting to see the evolution of blogging tools (and blogging itself). I started blogging by hand back in 2000 (good ol’ HTML and FTP), and five months into it switched to Blogger. As Blogger evolved, so did blogging; what used to be a quick post dashed off about something interesting on the ‘Net was now becoming something much more complicated — a long, thought-out essay with a title, a “permalink,” an archived location, comments, and more. Somehow, all the fun had been taken out of spontaneous blogging. It had become work.
That is why I am delighted to see the return of tools that are bringing blogging back to its roots. Tumblr. Twitter (although I’ve yet to figure that out yet!). And now Posterous. (And probably half a dozen more out there!) See something intersting on the web? Got something quick to say about what’s happening? Click and blog it. That’s it.
The fun is coming back.
