Best of 2003: Music (1-15) (Dec 28 2003 19:18 GMT) - 15. The Coral - Magic and Medicine Magic and Medicine was supposed to be my album of the year, but it didn't make it. I am still in love with it, but something just wasn't right. This, of course, doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the record. It is a much more mature effort and should make it to the States in the next couple months. |

Emergent Weblog Behavior (Dec 28 2003 19:15 GMT) - And now we have reached the point where the science/engineering feedback loop has given engineers the tools and technologies to create the internet, the most recent of my four most important inventions in human history. And just as with the other three (spoken language, writing, movable type printing) it will cause a "knee" in human capabilities and behavior. And because of that, a true superhuman "intelligence" may appear during our lifetime. But when it does, most of us won't even notice it, because it will be lost amidst the great sea of mediocrity and banality which will always dominate the internet and consume the vast majority of its bandwidth as long as humans exist. - Steven den Beste, Superhuman Intelligence I was going to update my Weblog Communities piece with something on this topic, but now seems like as good a time as any to bring this up; |

Army Thin-Skinned Over Homemade Armor (Dec 28 2003 19:13 GMT) - A Missouri transportation unit headed for Iraq sought extra protection for non-combat vehicles.

They have thin metal floorboards and, in some cases, a canvas covering for doors. Iraqi guerrilla groups have been targeting all types of military vehicles with homemade bombs and small-caliber weapons. |

When you reach the gate climb over and follow the wall on the right. Be careful as this field is used for radio controlled aeroplanes.
