Choose your own hegemony
30Oct05Read a provocative essay earlier today about Web 2.0. Excerpt:

Whuu???
30Oct05When did the Republicans become the Big Brother Party? Who would have thought the GOP would make the dems look like Libertarians?
Oh what a night
30Oct05After yesterday’s list of activities (adjectives) I have to add Mad Scientist’s Ball (depressing).
