In honor of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, the good folks at StarWars.com launched Star Wars Mashups, a tool that lets you remix a select number of scenes from the six Star Wars films. So far, the featured mashups I've looked at have been rather underwhelming, perhaps due to a preponderance of young Anakin Skywalker footage. Frankly, I think the whole exercise would have been a lot more fun if Lucas had cut loose and release the source footage from the Star Wars Holiday Special and let us remix those amazing scenes with Bea Arthur, Art Carney and Jefferson Starship. Yes, I kid you not. Princess Leia even sings a song to the tune of the main Star Wars theme. Just thinking about it is giving me vertigo.

This weekend, my brother Eric married his fiancee Kim Noble in Philadelphia. I had the honor of being their best man, and their videographer shot footage of my toast at the reception following the wedding ceremony. And no, that's not me at the very beginning; that's the DJ introducing me. -andy

Tom Friedman returned to the stage to read excerpts from three new chapters he's adding to the next edition of his runaway best seller, The World is Flat. I took some notes, though struggled a bit to keep up with his fast-paced reading. -andy

Jeff Jarvis asked Google president Eric Schmidt about what the presidential candidates should be doing on YouTube. Schmidt used the opportunity to announce that YouTube will host a presidential debate among the Democratic presidential candidates and hopes to do the same with Republican candidates. -andy
