Wired will no longer be capitalizing internet, web or net. Now if I could just get others to adopt …

We met Nick and Kristin a few years ago, when they were neighbors with Ryan and Paula at their old apartment building in Bloomington. Unfortunately, just a day after Nick and Kristin moved in, they were in a car accident that left the two of them in the hospital for several days. A week or so later, bruised and battered and high on Vicodin, Nick knocked on Ryan and Paula’s door to introduce himself and inform them that no, he wasn’t beating his girlfriend. The couples became fast friends after that, and Roger and I have had the pleasure of getting to know them, too.

Since then, all three of us have moved to different areas of the Twin Cities, but recently gathered at Ryan and Paula’s home to celebrate a wedding shower in honor of Nick and Kristin (photos here). The two will become Mr. and Mrs. Nick Johnson in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Tuesday, Aug. 10. Good luck, you two! We’ll be thinking of you!
