    I believe There is a pure representation of a white middle class consumer society, the type that corporations wet themselves dreaming about.

The game is completely static, with no innovation happening that isn’t controlled completely by the developers, and all profits from everything flowing into their pockets.

  • Giving E-mail back to the users: Using digital signatures to solve the spam problem – OK, glad I’m not the only one thinking along these lines
  • JAM LOG – an interesting looking blog. Too bad it’s in Japanese
  • Llorca – downtempo, jazz-house
  • Panther defaults to bash, not tcsh. Hoo-ray for COMMON SENSE. Also, chsh now directly syncs to the NetInfo db. cool
