- Books I've read the past two days I've been sick.As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner.A novel about a dysfunctional family at the turn of the century who is carting the dead mother/wife across the state so they can bury her in her hometown. The sister/daughter is trying to find somebody to perform an illegal abortion while they are making the journey and other dirty little family secrets come out. Very morbid at times and told from 15 different viewpoints. |

Immensity (Apr 19 2004 06:58 GMT) - I do love it here. It's so vast, so expansive, never-ending. We were talking about Space earlier, and going to the moon (was it a hoax, wasn't it? The first time I've not found myself surrounded by die-hard conspiracy theorists in a long time, on any issue that is), and the various Apollo missions and living on a space station. I wouldn't do it: |

- There's a lot of pressure of Muslim countries to reform with respect to democracy and human rights - movements from within (see Saad Eddin Ibrahim of Egypt and Sherin Ebadi of Iran), realizations from current leaders that progress requires change (see efforts in Jordan and Libya, and pressure from the United States in the form of the "Greater Middle East Initiative". In the face of these challenges, pro-democracy advocates, human rights workers, and government officials gathered... |

Here's the CBS News episode article, Woodward Shares War Secrets. |

- Vulture Central has a excellent article on blogging. If online publishers, and particularly newspaper and current affairs publishers, syndicated the meta information on every article they published (title, author, date, introduction, and so on), readers could more easily find, review and organise those that were of interest to them. As writers they might choose to post a Weblog commenting on particular articles. If publishers then used the ‘track back’ model to list an appropriately edited selection of these comments, in the context of each article, readers could follow the developing discussion and commentary. Tied to reputation management and good presentational tools, this would be likely to facilitate a greater awareness of new ideas and a more engaged (and possibly more informative) debate about them. |
