Paul Ford has a piece up that seems somehow to complement my late, frumulous musings. (Moral improvement through constant risk. So forth.)
And he has an interesting, essay-lengthy response to Clay Shirky's recent screed against the Semantic Web.
I'd tell you who to believe but I'm too ignorant. But it's interesting.
Tacitus links today to this guy's photoshop gallery. And he's got this thing. And, after all, I made this thing for our old blog. Yep. Same sign. Guy's from the Bay Area. I used to ride past the thing on my ol' unreliable Honda 500 every day. It's in Berkeley. And I like the fact that the guy's obviously a mac geek, using his .mac account to host his site - just like us. Gotta email him. Funny.
The beta period is over for TypePad, and I'm sticking with it. Also, I'm now allowed to talk about it. It's a good service and, I think, worth the money. The main advantage, as far as I'm concerned, is total ease of use. If you know nothing about this stuff except what one looks like, you will be completely done setting up your new blog within the hour. And it'll have all the bells and whistles. It's about as complicated as signing up for a hotmail account, sending and receiving email. And you need to know about as much about what's going on under the hood. Seriously, it's gotten that simple. Just thought I'd mention it.
I'm internetty enough to have a Friendster account, but not because it's a "plausible deniability" way to find love on the side, as Gawker is always insinuating. No, honey; my peeps just needed some testimonials, that's all. Somehow, I'm not internetty enough to find Achewood all that funny, though. I don't know. How can Jim Treacher be wrong about anything (except how to make any money)? Still, Ray's advice column is hilarious. I recommend it to anyone, even if you don't drink heavily. The advice is actually pretty good. Check it out:
Surely B.F. shouldn't be double-bagging the "franking priviledge;" [sic] the condoms will rub against each other, increasing the likelihood of catastrophic breakage and "waking up with 'AIDS.'" B.F. wants one of those "extra-strong" condoms made for "anal sex" if he's particularly concerned.You probably already know that, and I know you've got the disclaimer and all, but the multibagging thing is a dangerous meme to propagate. Everything else is fine.
Dear Reader,
Thank you for bringing up this point. I would like to reiterate that anyone who does anything based on what I, a cartoon cat, says, holds me in total eternal indemnity, because I was joking, and also I am fake.
