Smiley Key is perfected (Oct 16 2003 23:26 GMT) - I have hacked up my smiley key to work perfectly. You can now click the smiley key link, have the key pop-up in a new window, click whatever smileys you want to add to your comment, and then submit. Much simpler than before. If you'd like me to embed the key into the entry form, I can do that. Pop-ups seem cleaner to me, in this instance. |

Fighting fashionable nonsense: (Oct 16 2003 23:25 GMT) - Paradigms U Like: "We want the freedom to believe what we like, ignore facts, sugar-coat reality, but then we have to recognize that there is a price to pay. If we abdicate reason and clear thinking and reality checks, the result is not only that pesky scientists can't gainsay our beliefs--neither can we gainsay those of fundamentalists, theocrats, obscurantists, Nazis, Holocaust deniers. We have to choose, we can't have it both ways, we can't embrace irrational ideas we just happen to like and reject the ones we don't. If you insist on setting sail for the realm of hunch and intuition and thinking with your gut, you're likely to meet some fellow voyagers who are not all peace and love and light. |

Farewell to Emusic I've written ... (Oct 16 2003 23:23 GMT) - Farewell to Emusic I've written rapturously in the past about the Emusic service, for which I've willingly paid for many many months, based on its high quality of unusual music and its smart policy on downloads. Well, all good things must pass, and now it seems that Emusic has been acquired by new owners who've decided that it should become just like all the other online music services, limiting the amount of music users get for their money. It's not all bad news; it sounds like Emusic will continue to offer real MP3s rather than DRM-crippled files, for instance. But the real value of the service as a place where you could get turned on to musical obscurities in abundance looks like it will vanish. |
