Kellie's helpful blogging hints =)
Hey guys - welcome to the blog formerly known as House of Nerds, afka Stuck in Maryland. Since neither of those names apply any more, you're welcome to suggest others as you see fit.
A few comments to make your blogging experience more enjoyable. Most people should have authoring privledges. If you don't, shoot me an email, and I'll add you. When you want to write a new post, click on "New Post" in the upper right hand corner of the blog. You'll see a window, with this written in it:
Highlight this text, delete, and then type the first part here
**
Highlight this text, delete, then type the rest of your post here. Leave the stuff in < >s alone!!!
**
All the nifty little code does is hide the rest of your post so that people can see it when they click "read more." Leave everything in brackets alone, Delet the text telling you what to do, and type over it. If it's confusing, I can fix it for you.
Also, Jim posted his Automatic City, and you should feel free to do the same - post anything you want to the blog! Joey, where are you writing these days?
Cheers,
Kel

Top Ten of the aughts
Here ya go, kids -
It's 2009 and we're going to figure out on our own the top 10 pop/rock/hiphop (ie nearly everything except the weird shit david listens to) albums of the decade.

Wolf Parade: Apologies to the Queen Mary
Kanye West: College Dropout
Jay Z: Black Album
Jay Z: The Blue Print
DJ Danger Mouse: the Grey Album
Modest Mouse: The Moon and Antartica
Arcade Fire: Funeral
Wilco: Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
