Weekend links bitches, weekend links - Sep 13, 2004 - cell phone charging, Nike, Christina Aguilera and the best movie soundtrack of 2004

So it's been a couple of days since I last posted links. More than a couple of days, in fact. Pretty busy weekend, the highlight of which was taking Maureen to see the Blue Man Group for her birthday (happy birthday, 'Reen). I've heard great things about the show and it was as good as advertised. Just a great show and words won't do justice.

- So my thoughts, when I am actually thinking, are with my sister who's in Jakarta. Hope that the tragedy isn't repeated and my sister, and everyone else, is safe.

After a little Googling, I learned that the AA account is now handled by t:m, which looks suspiciously like the acronym for...

- Also from AdRants, oh lawdy.

- I'm glad at least one government isn't afraid of positive findings from marijuana research: Cannabis study encouraging for MS (BBC News)


- Garden State sountrack - it's awesome, get it. Then go to iTunes and find a Garden State iMix and you have the whole collection. Booyah.

- Finally, watch out because the assault weapon ban just expired.
