Salon | Don't tweak the geeks!: "We are wired differently; but the fact that we have to work at empathizing with others actually means we put a special value on it and on face-to-face contact, as anyone who has ever sampled the intensity of our tribal gatherings can testify." [via offhand]

I set up an archive of photos from this site on the visualize page. It's not very organized, though.

ooh, this page is cool: sententiae latinae.
I should have saved $3 and used this online Latin – English dictionary. Oh well, mine fits better by my bed.
I bought a Latin-English dictionary to help with the Latin phrases in the book. Graecum est, non legitur. It's greek to me. I should really be learning Italian so I can read the orignal text of the book. Ad Fontis!
I'm also reading Name of the Rose. It's nothing like a blog.
Tonight I finally started reading The Cluetrain Manifesto. It's funny how much its structure is like a traditional blog. The paragraphs aren't all run-together. They're all separate blurbs with space in between...complete with snarky comments and attitude. All those blurbs need is a time stamp and a permanent link-link and it's a blog. It's a blog masquerading as a book. (and making more money.)
I don't have a book in the works.
I learned a harsh and important social lesson today: never ask a writer if they have a book in the works unless they do indeed have a book in the works.
