ah, the memories, they just keep coming; the red flood on the horizon.

gosh, that’s the kind of flaring distaff that makes me wince in time to the gutless wunderbahr.
ya, it seems, don’t ya, that once in a while the old fractured dispensary just keeps wallowing on in deep deep dudgeon.
crisp like fritters on an arctic day (and where have they all gone, anyway? and where will the penguins live? maybe fridgerators) or galleons on a sea of custard.

gripping lives of emperors and cold-cocked curmudgeons. everone wants to be the next pliny or tacitus. what’ll we all be reading in 10,20,30 years, anyhow? will we even be squeezing our eyes at anything at all? or will it all fwoosh right inside our heads?

Another one providing information about software to keep the ravenous tide at bay.

I think this idea about dealing with copyrights (courtesy of Larry Lessig) is phenomenal. Namely, creating a method to track those things which creators would like to keep out of the public domain, letting all others fall into it. This is an idea–in this information saturated world–whose time has come.
