Sweet Fancy Moses: Diana Grove discusses the many uses, and abuses of body hair.

” The question of hair removal is as eternal as sex–should I pay for it, and do I tip?”

So, in keeping with my policy of messing with things that are working fine,

we’re now running the site using Blosxom.

Why? Well because its design philosophy matches the tool and its purpose. A simple, filesystem-based blogging

tool in one small perl script easily portable to any operating system. I love Movable Type,

but it was overkill in many cases, and installing it was way too much work. And I typically like that sort of thing.

Here’s a snippet from Rael’s site…

“If Blosxom takes more than 15 or so minutes to install, I must be doing something wrong or explaining something badly. Please let me know [rael@oreilly.com] how I can make this easier and I’ll do my best to help”

That’s what I’m talkin bout.

“But once the grunge bands took over in the early 1990s, the pompous

guitar god quickly was rendered as obsolete as a mullet hairdo.”

Damn that Nirvana!

It’s been a long week, but she’s back. It’s good to miss someone, but

even better to be missed. I think maybe that I was - a little.

If I wasn’t so afraid of N. Korea, this bit from The Onion would be even funnier.

Speculations on Armed Conflict In a Time of Free Silicon

Research paper describing Martin Libicki’s version of the future of warfare, taking into consideration technological and informational advances.

Dave Winer:

“One of the sweetest things about life is that you can always learn,

right up to the moment you die. And that’s part of what’s most enjoyable

about being human. For some reason, if we can find the pure learning,

it’s a joyful thing, whether or not we ever get to use what we learn.”

Dave Winer is geeked about the new SOAP interface at Google. He should be.

He also stumbled upon a phrase describing what’s been missing from my professional life recently…

“The intoxication of a new idea every day”.

The self-proclaimed [dullest blog in the

world](//www.wibsite.com/wiblog/dull/) may be just that. For example, a post from March 11…

“I was at a meeting and became aware that I had nothing of any

interest to add to the discussion. So I said nothing, and the

discussion continued.”
