Stunning. On Flickr, Cap'n Surly's "Nighttime at the Arboretum" has been favorited 33 times so far -- it deserves more. It's not often that a piece of our infrastructure looks like an outtake from The Lord of the Rings. We're glad he shared it in the Flickr pool -- and we want to see your masterpieces, too. Are you in?......

We can't remember where we first stumbled across the link, but we've been noodling around with LibraryThing's UnSuggester for the last day or so. It's a simple concept: enter the title of a book, and the UnSuggester finds the titles least likely to be found in the same person's collection.

Has Seattlest mentioned that we are in love with Sufjan Stevens? Yes, we love him, but it's totally not in a sexual way. Though we certainly appreciate his boyish good looks (and nicely toned arms), for us to touch someone with such wide-eyed childlike wonder would surely make us a pedophile.

But for the past couple of years, a small venue on Capitol Hill has been integrating The Lord with great music and free coffee on a whole different level. You’ve probably stumbled past On The House on your way home from the Wildrose or......

We are thoroughly unimpressed with the shows in town this week. We will let you decide if that's because there are no good shows or that we are a little dead inside. Despite the lack of good shows, there are some pretty hot new CDs out to satisfy your music fix. Our personal favorite is 'Illinois' by Sufjan Stevens. If you don't know who Sufjan is (if we may be so bold as to call......

The Washington men's basketball team continued their consistent, poised play with a split of two games in Arizona over the weekend. Even Thursday's 92-81 loss to the Arizona Wildcats demonstrated how good this team is. Despite their worst shooting performance of the season, the Huskies stayed close, in a hostile arena, against the 11th-best team in the country. I don't know if there is a phrase to describe the opposite of a Pyrrhic victory,......
