Upcoming superstar (Oct 19 2005 04:59 GMT) - Once upon a time I had a friend who had a small website. We were such good friends that I became a poster child for said website, and everyone was happy. The sun was shining that day. Then a BIG CORPORATION acquired the website, and corporate policy ensued. Privacies were policied, and policies were privatized. |

Teenage Wasteland (Oct 19 2005 04:59 GMT) - Now that I have forsaken the academy (just kidding!) and have copious amounts of commute time, I've been trying to read all of the books I punted on over the past 6 years. I just finished Donna Gaines' Teenage Wasteland, an ethnography of the youth culture in the late 80's that coincided with a number of suicides. In addition to descriptive biography and cultural criticism, Gaines' book espouses young people as a cohesive social group, one with solidarity but not sovereignty. The book is largely focused on teenage suicide, a behavior increasing in prevalence over the 80's. |

Book: The Cathedral & The Bazaar (Oct 19 2005 04:59 GMT) - I appreciated reading the hardcover copy of The Cathedral & The Bazaar: Musings on Linux and Open Source by an Accidental Revoluionary, even as I recognized some of the ironies of the act. First, the hardcover book, published in 1999, is out of print. Second, Eric Raymond published every essay in the book for free online long ago... which may explain part of the first irony, although the paperback is still for sale. |
