outline software with neat editing features: "conglomerate is a project to create a complete structured information authoring, management, archival, revision control and transformation system".
structured data, promising screenshot and smart attitude proclaiming the death of wysiwyg.
also from sam vaknin is a very demystifying "interim report" (already written in 1996, revised in 99) about the future of what i spend most of my time with: internet: a medium or a message.
"the internet cannot be currently defined as a medium. it does not function as one – rather it is a very disordered library, mostly incorporating the writings of non-distinguished megalomaniacs. it is the ultimate narcissistic experience." – sam vaknin
caught red-handed.
sam vaknin: "'the balkans' – i say – 'is the unconscious of the world'. people stop to digest this metaphor and then they nod enthusiastically. it is here that the repressed memories of history, its traumas and fears and images reside. it is here that the psychodynamics of humanity – the tectonic clash between rome and byzantium, west and east, judeo-christianity and islam – is still easily discernible".
after the rain: how the west lost the east (also at barnes & noble).

looking at my statistics today i noticed two things:
- there are many people coming here excited by the thought to see some more nudies of natacha merrit (and leaving very disappointed).
- a link to haboglabobloggin' was added to the matrix report about weblogs. thanks!

feminista: "one unfortunate byproduct of the media flurry greeting this book was some people's insistence that scientists, not 'emotional feminists', were best qualified to make a rebuttal, implying that the study of rape is a 'science' that only objective (read: male) scientists can understand. This is baloney." – a review of randy thornhill and craig palmer "a natural history of rape: biological bases of sexual coercion".
wired: "'i read his book. if i thought he was defending rape, i would never have invited him to speak,' [ars electronica director gerfried] stocker said" – i read her lips. if i thought she was dismissing sex, i would never have invited her to come.
m@trix back issues: "weblogs – die rückkehr des privaten". well done, guys!
it seems that userland is picking up interest in frontier again. they removed a lot of quirks in manila's news items. i know somebody who could be very happy about that.
is the thing that jake got in his box that "light" version of manila resounding throughout the land (something like blogger)?
send fake, hoax, spam, anonymous, junk, bogus, joke and bulk emails at spoof mail. simple things for simple minds (e.g. me).
