• Binding and Beautiful, if Not Legally Recognized

  Mazel tov to rocker Melissa Etheridge and "Popular" star Tammy Lynn Michaels. The longtime couple exchanged vows before friends and family last weekend, though they didn't make it legal. Damn shame, but hell, these beautiful brides just radiated love!

• The Reliability of RIAA Filesharing Subpoenas

  The RIAA said Sarah Ward was sharing 2,000 songs through the KaZaA P2P network exposing her, at $150,000 per offense, to $300,000,000 in penalties. But not only had she never downloaded a song, but as a a Macintosh user, she couldn't even run the KaZaA software, which only runs on Windows.

Books

• The Things They Carried

  I'm not a big reader of Vietnam books, so I can't say for sure that it's the best ever written, but I have a hard time imagining a better, truer, war story than you'll find here. This is a fantastic book.

• Witpunk

  A bad mix of stories that aim for "transgressive" and end up just gross, too-obvious Twilight Zone horror, and ham-handed satire.
