Preference Personnelle

If TechTV ran 'Cribs': it'd be like this Wired article about celebrity houses. Wired, says some /. person, is the Cosmo of the geek world. Whoa. I learned another French word today: blague. Don't tell the militant grammarians at L'Academie francaise. Here's a Morning News editorial about branding. More sniper news: A U of Maryland student writes about working at a gas station in DC. Police chief delivers cryptic messages. Sniper may affect Maryland elections. May effect? Of course it will. Janis Ian's getting published in USA Today now. Not since 'At Seventeen' have her words struck such a chord. Here's a Frontline I somehow missed: The Monster that Ate Hollywood. Also from PBS, via Metafilter: The First Measured Century. Are there really people who want the second Lord of the Rings movie's title changed? I don't want to poke around the site to try to figure out if it's a joke. Oh, and here's a fairly lame Slate article about Nigerian email scams, an Atlantic article about the Darwinian aspects of religions, one about the recently-deceased Richard Helms, and a page of online books whose copyright has expired in basically everywhere but the U.S. My favorite is probably George Orwell's Politics and the English Language. Though Virginia Woolf and James Joyce are both way up there.
