Good things to know-- Tricks of the Trade
A list of hints from a wide variety of trades, including...

Software Tester
Because developers don’t expect testers to read through their code, doing so is a quick and easy way to find possible bugs. Look for comments like “// HACK” or “// fix this crap later.”

Cartographer
Mapmakers will often use “copyright traps,” bits of information in their maps that are purposefully wrong. They might label a body of water “Lake Strongbad,” for instance, and then examine the next editions of competitors’ maps to see if the incorrect information makes an appearance.

Botanist
...And when doing botanical work in South America, steer clear of the monkeys: They will throw sticks at you with surprising accuracy.

Erin uploaded her pics from Ali and Joey's wedding, so I thought I'd share a few select pictures. This one of Laura and me is a favorite:

That's how the good party was. I swear I showed up with both shoes.

A few more photos here.

I was already sold on Alien vs. Predator (in my only college English course, we watched the entire Alien series... for some purpose I can't remember, and I loved them), but now I know the uber-hunk from Under the Tuscan Sun, Raoul Bova, is in it (he's on the news right now). Woohoo. What's funny is that the moment I saw him on the tv, I thought 'he really disappointed me once'. I had to look him up on IMDb to figure out when/how. I was crushed when things didn't work out for them, especially since he was one of the only interesting things in that movie.

Oh, and speaking of movies... Has anyone seen the Garden State? I might try out the nearby sketchy movie theater to see it.
