- Telling the Truth John Brand writes: A sort of a parable happened when I started thinking about writing this column. Stopping for a red light, I saw a homeless man holding up a sign that read, "Why lie? I need a beer." Impressed with his honesty, I gave him several dollars. |

- Fine post from Wm Gibson on FICTION. INHALING VS. THE POWERS OF OBSERVATION AND IMAGINATION. Including but not limited to the following: You are paying, it seems to me, for me to do a number of things on the page, and one of them is the excercise of a disciplined mimetic imagination on an acquired body of (often anecdotal) experience. |

- What an excellent idea! Tom Dolan puts two and two together and gets a great result. Consider the facts, Hansard is a daily journal of the day's business in the Houses of Parliament, it has regular known contributors. Doesn't that just sound like a multi-contributor weblog? Add permalinks, decent searching, trackbacks and comments and you'd have something worthwhile. |

- It seems that I'm not the only person getting frustrated with Vodafone in the UK, !Andrew Savory has a good rant about their GPRS tariffs, and their money grabbing attitude to WAP. To which I'll add that their excreble website has plenty of incorrect GPRS setup details (one page has 3 different addresses for their SMTP server, 2 of which are just plain wrong), and the recent news about their even greater ripoff SMS pricing - Vodafone to double overseas text charges - 160bytes for 24p, that's only 1573 per Megabyte; I'm impressed that they've got the gall to charge that. The final insult yesterday, I was sitting on a North Kent beach less than 2 miles from two different Vodafone masts, so you'd expect a good signal? |

- Morgan, at explodedlibraryinfo, picked up ads with air guitarists and the idea / expression of the idea dichotomy, on the Ads Ape Apple's Air Guitarists, BuyMusic.com / iTunes story. Sez Morgan: I haven't seen these ads, but I admit that they would really annoy me. It would seem that BuyMusic is stealing numerous ideas of Apple. |
