The Information Generation
Just read an interesting article about the Information Generation on website called Faster than Light. It got my attention because a) it showed up as a random post on my other WordPress blog, and b) because it talks about a world where there is only “online”. It made me think about my own world...

Ten interesting things
Ten interesting things? I’ve changed my blog theme again. I’m now using the Twenty Ten 1.1 WordPress theme. Why change it? The Revolt Basic theme was ok, but I was sick of not having sidebars that I could post links in. I’ve closed most of the reader comments on my blog. This is because lots...
