drinking from a fire hose
Changed my mind: I won’t ask to have my blog rated at HotOrNot, since I’m unwilling to give a numeric rating to those I see there. How do you quantify a subjective impression? But I’ll keep it bookmarked, for days when I’m desperate for a new blog to read! (2004 Oct 22: Yeah, like that’ll happen. I try halfheartedly to keep up with 46 blogs, and have 417 entries on a “get back to it eventually” list.)
Recent reading: Gene Expression; The Kolkata Libertarian; IBM Research’s puzzle of the month; Follies and Folly Towers, Monuments and Obelisks; Science News, the web version of the weekly magazine; How Stuff Works: Articles of the Day; BBC News sci/tech; Designing a Baseball Cover; Forgotten New York, curious corners of a city I’ve never visited; Duct Tape Fashion Gallery
if it’s Thursday, this must be a blog item
No fair! This list of blogs ranked by number of links (each way) omits me, though I’ve been linked (at least in passing) by about fifteen of those on the list. I must have forgotten to turn off the Romulan device.
something for everyone
You already know about the peculiar poetry of the Arcata Eye police log, right?
How about Ed Pegg’s Mathpuzzle? It’s a dense log of matters Gardneresque, with new material about once a week.
what, a libertarian website?
My occasional shooting-buddy Tim Starr calls my attention to No Treason – a journal of liberty.
Update 2004: Tim has since been ‘fired’ as a contributor to No Treason, apparently for turning into a neocon supporting Bush’s war policy.
weblinks across the ocean
Natalie Solent has sent me eight visitors in a day or so. Hi y’all!
this entry makes less sense than it originally did
Jim Henley says, amid flattery:
Unqualified Offerings wishes that Sherwood would condescend to narrow his text columns, but then, Unqualified Offerings wishes a lot of bloggers would condescend to narrow their text columns.
Handy tip: you can narrow Sherwood’s text column to your own taste, simply by narrowing your window. Here in the Cave we don’t go in for that newfangled stuff (and we’d frankly prefer to see less of it).
Contentwise, thanks for the tip about the meth lab.
the right to drive
A Coyote at the Dog Show has second thoughts about a discussion we had lo these four months gone. Well, since I understood him then to be making exactly the opposite point from what he now reveals he had in mind, I agree that one of us must have been muddled. I hope this acknowledgement pleases him.
By the way, Swen, things have changed at Blogspot: you now have to take the ‘?’ out of the link.
