Quicksilver (Dec 03 2003 02:58 GMT) - Tomorrow I will post a review of Neil Stephenson's new book Quicksilver. As always, book reviews can be found in the 'Readings' category. Also, several of you have emailed me in the last few days concerning the book club I mentioned a while back. Obviosuly I have put this on a backburner until we get our new software set up. I've still got all the emails and will update everyone soon. |

Crackers II (Dec 03 2003 02:58 GMT) - Blogging blind again. -- For the second time in a month, someone has cracked the servers where my weblog is hosted. Although my friend Justin pooh-poohs the notion, personally I think it's because he hosts my website that his servers are being cracked. So I'm looking more seriously at getting a real hosting service. The good folks at JSF sponsor DreamHost are tops on my list. |

- La izquierda y los colectivos árabes, principal foco antisemita en la Unión Europea El Congreso Judío Europeo (CJE) ha divulgado finalmente el informe sobre el antisemitismo que fue elaborado por el Observatorio Europeo sobre el Racismo y la Xenofobia (EUMC), una institución de la Unión Europea. Este departamento decidió guardarlo en un cajón en marzo de este año, pero sus autores se lo han entregado al CJE, que lo ha publicado en Internet. En el documento se confirma que, entre otras cosas, la izquierda y los colectivos árabes son el principal foco de antisemitismo en la Unión Europea. |

- En su sintonía acostumbrada con La Voz de Abdelkader, Zapatero ha ofrecido una curiosa alternativa a las fuerzas aliadas que, encabezadas por los Estados Unidos, derribaron militarmente al régimen genocida de Sadam Husein. Dice que deben ser soldados árabes, extraídos de los países de la Conferencia Islámica y otros medios ilustrados, los que se encarguen de la pacificación de Irak, es decir, los que acaben con el nazismo del Baas, aniquilen los restos criminosos del régimen sadamita y trituren la presencia criminal de Al Qaeda. Desde luego, la idea es original. A nadie, ni siquiera o sobre todo de los países islámicos, se le había ocurrido. A Zapatero, sí. |

- Legit Reviews: Although the American regional theater has turned to Eugene O'Neill's 1931 triptych various times in recent years, Howard Davies' scorching reclamation of it demands attention on both sides of the pond, not least for the unflinching respect paid by the production to a text that can tilt toward the overripe. |

- A discussion on http://plastic.com (how could I pass up linking to a mention of Shockwave Rider?) and a posting on the Many-2-Many weblog reminded me that I wrote (a little) about Web-moderated Futurist Communities just over a year ago. The Many-2-Many link mentions PAM (the DoD's "Policy Analysis Market" that drew a firestorm of protest a few months ago), though I don't really see it as being that different from some of the other "idea market"s. |
