In 2004, a guy who I don't know named Jeremy Abbate saw my website and wrote a song called "I Wanna Be As Cool As Jessica Barron." It still amuses me. Here's the mp3 and here are the lyrics.

Yahoo counted me as a "cool person" from 1997-2001. How far have I fallen?!

September 16, 2005 3 Days Inside the Houston Astrodome
Here's one more rah rah Yahoo! post I've been meaning to make... Through the donation links on the Yahoo! network, we helped raise $53 million toward the Katrina relief effort.

Also, there were a bunch of Yahoo! peeps who flew down to Houston to help set up a computer search network and assist people in finding their relatives.

This is Hillary Mickell's excellent account of her 3 days spent in the Houston Astrodome.

Also, graphic designer Kathleen Watkins spent a lot of time talking to survivors in the Astrodome and recounted the experience in this blog post.
