Tom's Temple of MST3K is a must-see for fans of Mystery Science Theater 3000 [official], the decade-long show that aired movies we love to hate. Includes a lavishly-illustrated history of the show, a studio tour, sound bites, and more. Other must-sees: Booyaka's MST3K site is a great launchpad, and thumbs up to MST3UK, probably the most content-packed episode guide I've seen but sadly limited to a third of the episodes. Do you have any favorite MST3K sites?

No seriously, why didn't this happen sooner? "Ever since I came to Google, they've been talking about putting up an official Google blog. And now, less than 15 months later, voilà."

Bloggers Get Press Credentials? The Boston Globe reports that Jesse Taylor of Pandagon applied for press credentials for the Democratic National Convention. I like Jesse and his blog so I hopes gets his press pass. Jesse will not be welcomed with open arms by the mainstream press if he does.

But this new form of media is colliding with old-hand political structures, such as the House of Representatives Press Gallery, the initial gatekeeper for credential requests. Officials there decided that independent blogs do not fit their standards of "media," and passed their applications down the ladder a rung, to the convention staffs that handle credentials for student and weekly papers.
