More redesign angst (Dec 31 2003 19:41 GMT) - My new site design appears to crash IE 5 on the Mac, and I think I know why—it looks like a problem with the custom list CSS that I use to show the category buttons in the sidebar. If I suppress that section of the sidebar, the page loads, but the same code doesn’t render correctly in the header. I will work on this later; |

Signs of the apocalypse (Dec 31 2003 19:41 GMT) - A bunch of disturbing trends in national security over the last few days:Our beloved Attorney General, Singin’ John Ashcroft, shows some sense and recuses himself from the investigation of the Plame leak. As always, Joshua Marshall is all over the story. He suggests that this, combined with other announcements, suggests that this is a sign that there will be some serious fallout still to come. |

Australia and Montague (Dec 31 2003 19:37 GMT) - As far as I know, I have never received an email from anyone in Montague. However today I received an email from a man in Australia. The weird thing is that it didn't seem all that weird to me. It was like receiving an email from someone in Montague. Ten years ago, getting an email from someone in Australia would have been very cool, and worthy of mention to your friends. |

I am not who you think I am... (Dec 31 2003 19:37 GMT) - Almost every day I get an email message from someone who's read something on this blog, looking for more information. And almost always the correspondent appears to think that I somehow officially represent that which I write about. I've received email from people who want to donate clothes to the Red Cross. I've received email from people who want to purchase Cora's Restaurant franchises for Mexico. I received email from people who want to purchase Cadbury's chocolate bars. |

Who's Who in the Island Alternoverse? (Dec 31 2003 19:37 GMT) - Island alternoocrat Lobie Daughton sent around an email today to the friends of the Full Circle Cooperative School. Because he cc'd the email to all of the 44 friends, I got an interesting glimpse into "who's who" in the so-called "alternative community" on the Island. When you see all of their names together, you realize there's a potent force to be reckoned with there, from which Full Circle is perhaps the greatest and most public product. I've talked to at least three sets of parents in recent years who have sent their kids to Full Circle, and all have told a similar tale of children flowering once the weight of public school was lifted from their shoulders. It's an exciting place, and worthy of support. |

Annals of Cindy Burton (Dec 31 2003 19:37 GMT) - About 7 years ago I was standing in the lobby of the Royal York Hotel in Toronto. I was in Toronto as part of an ill-conceived provincial prospecting trip. The ill-conception mostly involved bringing me along, for my ideas about valuable prospecting activities were at odds with those of my colleagues. My cell phone rang. I believe this may have been the first time my cell phone had ever rung outside of Prince Edward Island, so it was exciting. |
