Link Love: Transmission Choo-Choo Edition

I haven’t offloaded any Links Relevant to Mah Interests lately, so here are a few for you:
Moolanomy is sponsoring The Best Wedding Tips and Stories Giveaway. A little over three years ago Matt and I had a relatively frugal wedding at our favorite restaurant in Burlington, MA, so my own entry to the contest will be forthcoming in a week or two.
Student economist Ashwini Agrawal wrote his dissertation on the behavior of the labor union AFL-CIO’s pension fund, finding that “the A.F.L.-C.I.O. pension funds were voting in ways that might help workers when they were A.F.L.-C.I.O. union workers, but not after they switched union affiliations.” This may be unsurprising finding to all of us, but apparently this so angered the AFL-CIO that they’ve been threatening him with a lawsuit.
Unclutterer.com brings us A Simple Way to Simplify Email, using the Remember the Milk extension for Gmail. This so impressed me that I’m in the process of switching from my beloved Tasktoy to Remember the Milk. I’m loving the ability to link tasks to specific emails, and thus keep my inbox clear, but Tasktoy still seems like it’s better for keeping track of things like what blog posts I want to write.
Euphorify is a new but promising happiness/lifehack blog that I found through the ZenHabits forums. Now, if I could break my habit of spending hours reading lifehacker-style blogs, I might actually get something done!
This Bulb Lady article on Naturalizing Bulbs caught my eye. I think I’ll try this with my scilla and grape hyacinths…

Hi Lise. I look forward to reading your entry. Thank you for the mention.
Ah. I use the ability to post to tasktoy via e-mail, and use that to convert e-mail messages to ‘todo’ items. It also combines very tasty like with Jott.
Good luck with the car! My car… ugh. At some point I will figure out that the frugal choice is to replace it but not… yet…. lol.
I swear you tagged me in a meme a while back and I just came here to find it so I can respond, and I don’t see it at all. Did I hallucinate? lol
You are correct, paidtwice! It is here:
