File this under Right On: House committee passes same-sex marriage bill. Next stop: the full House of Delegates.
Wow, I had no idea National Bohemian wasn’t available on tap until recently. ‘Natty Boh’ Drinkers Tap Into Nostalgia at Frisco Tap House in Columbia.
As the former owner of a ’73 VW camper van, I have a particular interest in this story: An original 21-window ’66 Kombi was abandoned in the desert and used as target practice for years.

Hey, this looks cool! the USA Spec iPod® Interface is designed to add a dock plug to the OEM radio in our CR-V, and you can control the iPod with the controls on the steering wheel. I’d rather buy this than an entirely new head unit.
Wow, fascinating reading: Paul Haggis Vs. the Church of Scientology, via the New Yorker.
Dear GOP: I have a daughter. Go fuck yourselves. House Republicans Drop “Forcible Rape” Language from Bill on Abortion
I’m listening to Dinosaur Jr.’s Farm, which is not exactly the best music for working (unless you’re in a hurry, like me). Green Mind was one of my cornerstone albums of the 90’s, and after a love-hate relationship with their later catalog, I’ve come back to their newer work.

This is a riveting, heartbreaking bit of photojournalism: The Julie Project by Darcy Padilla follows a homeless 18-year-old with a newborn baby all the way from 1993 to the present day in pictures and words. I will go home and hug my daughter very tightly tonight.
It’s somewhat ironic that in the same week Egypt shut phone and internet access off to its entire country, a couple of dumbasses here in America want to do the same thing. Joe Lieberman, sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up.
From Metafilter: Pure awesome. A 5-year-old kid wrote a letter to PBS asking for a superhero show. Within a few hours, PBS responded. (Finn loves Super Why! and asks for it by name).
