Tweaking
I have a long list of things I want to do with the site. A lot of it has to do with content. The table of contents page was really just a place-holder 2 years ago, and every other page (except this one) is desperately out of date.
But I also want to make a [...]
This is a protest song
The major lmusic abels aren’t big protest song fans, at least until after the fact. Protest Records provides tracks from some big names and some small ones for download (“use ‘em for yrself. give ‘em to friends. just don’t sell ‘em.”). REM has chosen formats that are not as likely to be traded, which is [...]
Please do not feed the neocons

All of your triplets

If this were a novel or film, I would complain that the “bad guys” were caricatures, but with Hussein, bin Laden, and Kim Jong-il, news is increasingly difficult to discern from larger-than-life fiction. Saddam idolizes Stalin, but comes off as a real-life [...]
In at the ground floor
Since I’ve now started including tools on my blog, I expect it to go sky high, any day. Better buy blog shares now. Strangely, MonkeyX (one of my favorite toolmakers for many years, who for some reason never made it to my blogroll when I started using one) doesn’t want anyone to talk about this [...]
InterAlta
George wants to look at hyperlink networks between countries, using AltaVista. Others have done this, but I was very resistant. It seemed to me that AltaVista probably had significant deficits in terms of non-English pages, as well as coverage generally. Furthermore, I wasn’t sure you could trust the “we found 34,222,534 links” stuff. Further yet, [...]
