Got enough compliments on yesterday's digest to do it again. As I keep doing these, feel free to chip in with anything cool on the site you saw that I might have missed (I do, after all have real work to do as well).

MMM ... doughnuts ... drool: egoens says the imaginatively-named Donut Shop has the best fried dough in the city. Anybody got other ideas?

Get your picture in the paper: Our print counterpart (speaking of imaginatively-named), Indy.com: The Magazine, is testing out using the site to do their Question of the Week feature ... so pop over and answer this week's question to get your name and avatar in next week's issue.

Under-appreciated in its time: Like the actor-in-question's career, joe.shearer's post on the repertoire of Paul Rudd fell from consciousness too soon.

I've always been a big fan of Rudd as he's usually the funniest part of the comedy movies he appears in, even if he's not the lead.

Need even more reminders on what he looks like? Check the Paul Rudd photos that have made their way across the celebrity photo feed.

Speaking of the celebrity photo feed ... if you don't feel like waiting on us to update the block on the front for your voyeurism fix, you can always get to the full firehose feed straight from the AP (look, Ma!, caption corrections!) at http://www.indy.com/celebrities. There are a few visual oddities on that page right now, but we'll be fixing it shortly. Oh, and a little birdie told me there were Jessica Alba photos today ...

Paper Thin: PLynam fills us in on an exhibition of origami headed to the Indianapolis Museum of Art. Demonstrations on Feb. 15, 16, 17 and the exhibit officially opens Feb. 19.

More info in the calendar here and here.

Does origmai belong in art museum? Look at that heron and tell me it doesn't. Heck, I can't even fold a decent paper airplane.

Best Of: Dodge, of My Old Kentucky Blog fame (highly recommended, btw), goes the extra mile and spits out a list of the best shows coming to Indy and Bloomington in the first half of the year. Personally, I'm holding out for The Black Keys on April 13.

Yeah ... but when's it end? djsmith70 wants to know when the Indianapolis Art Center's Student Show is ending.

Based on the calendar, I'd guess February 10 would be the last show ... anybody know for sure?

Moment of Silence: Margaret Truman, the only daughter of Harry S Truman, died today. She wrote some of the best beach-read mystery books ever and now I'll have to check if I still have them on the bookshelf back home.
