Well hello there. It seems like it's been a while, eh? It hasn't really, but sometimes when you're really busy the time seems to slow right down, dragging out and turning days into millenia, weeks into aeons. I've been storing some things up for you. Let me share them with you now.
- Susan Mernit posts a portion of an article about the coming search wars between Micrsoft and Google. In a world of too much information, the search engine is our floation device. For a search junkie like me, this is interesting stuff.
- The WonderChicken is back, "I learned an important lesson about living in Korea today, and I learned it at the point of a gun, which may just make it stick for a while, for a change." It's a long, rambling post that goes here, wanders there, and finally rolls around back for the finish. Exactly the reason I started reading the old 'bottle to begin with. Welcome back man. Again. Hopefully this time we'll get to have your company for a little longer.
- James talks about the Sox, Kerry, and Dean. I have a few things to say: 1) The reason you love the Sox? Check this out and see if it rings true for you. It did for me. A quote: "Growing up in New England taught me that [baseball's] true value lies in the bonding it promotes among otherwise disparate fans, and in the connective tissue it builds, game after game, season after season, within the region it symbolizes and represents." 2)I went to a Dean rally yesterday. People had signs that said "Red Sox 03, Dean 04". I'm sorry, but what does your favorite team have to do with your ability to be President? Kerry should get back to work doing the job the MA people elected him for, at least for a few more months. As for Dean, my mind isn't made up about him yet. I'm glad I have over a year left to choose.
- Jason Kottke links to an article about pirate radio in London. It's interesting how the broadcasters use technology, including texting and voicemail on their cellphones. Great article.
- Joe Clark on weblogs and ISSN numbers. I mentioned that I wanted to apply for one, but as of yet have not filled out the application. Must move this higher on the to do list.
- ALA is getting a redesign. But you knew that. Right?
