Been a rough week and next week won’t be much easier. A nap sounds really nice.
My School in the News

Our friend Dragoncaller needs your help finding a home for a puppy.
Isn’t he cute?
The full story is here. The pup is in Hartford, CT, and as far as I know they would prefer someone within driving distance for the placement.
So if you can help, or know someone who can help this boy find a forever home, click through and let Dragoncaller know.
New Business Idea
Thinking about mashups this morning, I had an idea for one that I don’t think has been done yet.
It would be a three-way mashup of Google Maps, job listings, AND information from local mass transit so that you could pinpoint all jobs in your area that are accessible by public transportation.
In other words, it would help you find a job that you didn’t have to drive to.
Perhaps this has already been done — I need to get to work, or I’d look right now. But if it hasn’t, then you read it here first!
OMFG Stephen Colbert
Yes, I too saw the C&L video of Colbert at the White House Correspondant’s Dinner last night. I think I annoyed Scott a bit when I went so far as to say, ‘I want to have this man’s baby,’ but WOW did he kick ass.
Shakes & co came up with a bunch more ways to say how much Colbert rocks, and even granted him the coveted “Brass Balls” award.
Whoa
Now you won’t have to go to Amsterdam for that “special” vacation.
Possessing marijuana, cocaine and even heroin will no longer be a crime in Mexico if the drugs are carried in small amounts for personal use, under legislation passed by Congress.
The measure given final passage by senators in a late night session on Thursday allows police to focus on their battle against major drug dealers, the government says, and President Vicente Fox is expected to sign it into law.
That’s going to be one hell of a tourist boon for Mexico.
