'There's a neat project called Just Letters that is a collaborative refrigerator letters board.
It might be interesting to add presence, chat, side channels, but as a study of group dynamics it's amazingly fascinating. If anything, the only thing I would add would be the number of uses participating.'

The New York Times: Without a Doubt
"As Whitman told me on the day in May 2003 that she announced her resignation as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency: ''In meetings, I'd ask if there were any facts to support our case. And for that, I was accused of disloyalty!'' (Whitman, whose faith in Bush has since been renewed, denies making these remarks and is now a leader of the president's re-election effort in New Jersey.)"

Cats watching cats watching cats. Hey! It's a concept! "In case you're wondering what the heck this site is all about...
It all began innocently enough when a user on an Apple help forum posted a picture of his cat, Frankie, contemplating the beauty of a flower. Shortly afterwards another user posted a picture of his cat bristling at the image of Frankie on the monitor. I decided this was too much fun and advanced the concept as The Infinite Cat Project which is, simply, cats regarding cats regarding cats in an electronic melieu. ..."

not quite 'nuff:
"After examining numerous frames of video footage [C-SPAN 30 Sept 04] I have come to the professional opinion that either George Bush was wearing a wireless prompter/queuing system on the night of the debates, or our* president is growing some kind of mutant dorsal fin. By very carefully examining the movement of his body and how it interacts with his suit jacket it is easy to rule out the possibility 'the bulge' is simply a wrinkle in his clothing or a problem with bad lighting."
*yes "our president" - little john is a regional governor."Pilate" maybe in another time and place?

"Tailor to presidents Georges de Paris falls on his needle, says the box-bulge is just a pucker along the jacket's back seam. Wow. I've never seen a suit, or any garment, with a back like this -- except maybe that lumpy dress I once made in home economics, with the darts inside out."

Guardian Unlimited | US elections 2004 | The madness of George
"The Bush campaign was once happy to use 'angry' as a term of abuse - but that was before the US public met Furious George, writes US political blogger Markos Moulitsas
The evolution of George Bush's persona over the past few weeks is startling for even the most casual observers. Only a short while ago, Bush was a strong, decisive leader and Kerry was a weak, flip-flopping Massachusetts liberal. The Bush campaign expected those images to carry them through the November elections: it had cost them more than $200m (?112m) to build those caricatures and they had every reason to expect a solid return on their investment..."

Mt St Helens has been on the fritz the last week with a couple small eruptions, on the cusp of something big. This is a kind of an exciting time to be in Portland, to be part of history. If we only had a virgin to throw in the volcano to calm it down.

"Paramount Studios' first media screening of Team America: World Police, the new film by 'South Park' creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. It's a nihilistic sendup of bloated, Bruckheimer-style action epics -- cast entirely with marionettes."

"Australia is facing a federal election on October 9th with the two main parties having little to separate them in domestic and economic policy. Where the Liberal and Labor parties differ greatly is in foreign policy. The Liberal Party adheres to the 'Great and Powerful Friends' doctrine while the Labor Party pursues the doctrine of 'Asian Engagement'."
Background and current foreign policy with a charmingly partisan analysis that I agree with.

With blood in my veins and a hurt in my heart
Out in the street with the noise and the dirt
And the one still looking for a brand new start"
