Welcome to my Weblog. Its name is

Table of Nontents

because it looks sort of like a table of contents, but since these items are not contained within my page, they're not contents, they're Nontents.

I'm back. And I have just read something really fascinating.

Would you call this network anarchitecture?

Clay Shirky discusses unpredictable chaotic phenomena in the dynamics of social software (such as Usenet, BBS's, RPG's, and stuff.)

I am on vacation. I will post new entries starting about a week from now. Have a happy late summer! Don't spend so much time on the screen that you fail to enjoy the weather! I'll send you a post card.

Celebrate the one-year anniversary of Table of Nontents

Will the real Homo Erectus please stand up?

Here is a site dedicated to a Stone-Age diet even though they use more blenders, electric frying pans and the like than cavepeople actually did. No potatoes!


On the other hand, this learned Article presents evidence that Homo Erectus cooked tubers. So what am I to believe if I am going to eat like a truly authentic caveman?

(See my blog archive for more stuff on history of food.

Botbait:

I will now use a few obscure and / or trendy words just on the off chance that this will cause a search engine to find me, since I have not gotten much traffic for the last couple of weeks:

An excellent page on Medieval Manuscripts including instructions about how to make a quill pen.

It's about the vision. In an article called Writing the Living Web, Mark Bernstein discusses not the HOW but the WHY. It's community. It's talking to people who matter about things that matter. It's a conversation. And you need to write with passion and about things that matter. We need a reminder about that now and then.

The Firesign Theatre has a web page! Can they do digital stuff and web based stuff as masterfully as they did analog? Worth a look for announcements and funny writings. I recall the time that I played the LP of "I think we're all bozos on this bus" for a friend of mine who worked for the company that designed device driveres for Disney World, and HE DIDN'T GET IT. How should I interpret that data?

Old stuff in my weblog

before May 2 can be found HERE so look there for Raymond Roussel, the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus, the Queasy Bake Oven, Carhenge, sestinas, medieval table manners, and other things equally useless.
