Into every generation... (Nov 05 2003 23:08 GMT) - The other ubiquitous Iraq blogger, Salam Pax, turns a wry joke that Iraq could use Buffy's help in fighting evil. Strangely enough, many months ago I recall reading many months ago a Center For Strategic & International Studies analyst's description of the bioterrorism scenario [pdf file] as one that is well-informed by the kind of war waged by Buffy and the Scoobies, rather than traditional strategies. Given what we've seen in Iraq, I think a plucky sixteen year old girl would have a better idea of what needs to be done than the Bush Admin would. Of course, her motive would be to actually stop the death. Apples and oranges, I guess. |

Dishwasher Update (Nov 05 2003 23:06 GMT) - You may remember that shortly before the start of this last tour I received a new Miele dishwasher. I mentioned how quiet it was. Do you want to know just how quiet? Well, it is so quiet that the other day I opened the dishwasher while it was running, thinking that it was off...that's how quiet it is! |

Fuhrer ve dekorasyon (Nov 05 2003 23:06 GMT) - Blog Simon Waldman Guardian'ın internet kısmıyla uğraşan bir gazeteci. Hikayemiz Waldman'ın kayınpederinin evine ziyarete gittiği bir akşam üstü başlıyor. Waldman'la muhabbeti ilerleten kayınpeder (duygusal olsun diye "tozlu" sıfatını yapıştırabilirdim buraya ama tuttum kendimi) arşivinden 1938 baskısı bir Homes and Gardens dergisi çıkarıyor. Kayınpederin amacı Waldman'a babasının çizdiği modern bir bungalow'u göstermek ve fakat söz konusu dergide Waldman'ın dikkatini çeken Hitler'in evi ile ilgili bir yazı oluyor ve olaylar başlıyor. |

Policy Analysis Market Lives On (Nov 05 2003 23:04 GMT) - Remember the flap about the Policy Analysis Market? PAM was the defunct DARPA project that intended to use market predictions to examine possible future events, but blew up in the media when it was alleged that people were going to place bets on terrorism. However, using markets as simulators is a valid new approach to collective intelligence. I clicked on the URL in pursuit of another story and found that PAM lives! Or at least it will allegedly come to life in March, 2004. |
