“The Web, or actually the Internet, is the natural home of petty factionalism like these. It’s intrinsic and inescapable.” Plus Joe’s (apparently useful) aggro challenging technique. I would like to have the (metaphorical) cojones to do that.

I often find SvN’s proclamations annoying, but this one hits right on.

I’ve been saying for years (years, dammit!) that the intarwebs were going to see the rebirth of the serial novel. unfortunately, this is a technobabble near-future blah blah blah. Oh, and the interface is not particularly readable, either. 🙁

“‘Better’ for Mark Pilgrim doesn’t mean better for you, and nowhere has Pilgrim implied that it does.” A really thoughtful piece on OS choices.
