Ugly as fuck, but this might be a useful site for reference/pocking around odd bits of Londonalia.

Why yes, I do want this quite badly. Even just to use as a monitor/interface – I've gotten so used to slinging windows between virtual desktops that I would absolutely love to be able to do it by hand.

This is one of those products that I simultaneously thing is quite a cool little representative thing, a genuinely nice idea in human computer interaction, and yet, I cannot see a practical use for. I either have multiple chat windows open, or I'm not using IM. And I just don't see how it'd work for multiple chat windows…

OK, just two links on the subject, then.

Dammit. Must not buy… Must…not…buy…
Well, maybe after christmas. Maybe.

Nothing exactly shocking, but y'know, it is what it is. Be interesting to see how closely the next couple of months campaigning hews to the line he lays out here.

In summary: The Bush administration has done things that may fuck the US intertubes. The McCain administration will also fuck those tubes. Not exactly revalatory or unexpected stuff, but if you're curious about the major political issues affecting the (US) internet, and have 15 minutes to spare, then this is a good primer on them anyway.

del.icio.us's blog auto-poster seems to be having problems, so I'm trying this plugin as a possible fix for this. Link crossposting may be a bit wonky for a few days as I get the new system bedded in.

This looks like it could be seriously fascinating, in 18 months or so. The principles, certainly, represent a massive shift in the way we might use the web, and while Ubiquity is a little clunky, I'm sure better interfaces for doing exactly this sort of thing will get developed over the next few years.

My really big problem is that it's a bit anti-Christianity-centric, and while I know it's kind of implicit that atheism defines itself in response to theism, I think you can make a stronger argument for it without resorting to just swiping at the alternatives.
