985 posts, 265,000 page views, 100,000 visits, and 5 gigabytes of data transferred. Not exactly ground-breaking, but certainly more than I expected when I got this puppy underway. Happy first birthday to Population: One!
Thanks to everyone who links and especially to everyone who reads. I write all this for myself, but I won’t pretend it’s not ego-gratifying to have readers.
Party hats are available at the door.
In the fine tradition of Deb’s big list of historical links, here’s another quick link to another fairly comprehensive link collection. It’s everything you wanted to know about underground tunnels, more or less. There’s even a Mormon Church subcategory. Thanks to Chris T. for the heads up.
Today is a very special day, by the by, for reasons which will become apparent tomorrow.
This morning, Warren Ellis said:
It’s Wednesday. I want to see the world, please.
Send me a photo from your futurephone or webcam. Send it to dadatag@aol.com, which is an email address I have created for the purpose (dadatag = easy to key in on a phone). I will show what I receive here. (This will even work for Sprint PCS phones.)
Show me something.
And people are. Start here, and work forwards. Pictures of the world. Sparse prose, tying it together.
Remember A Day In The Life…? Like that, but raw and real time.
Cory Doctorow’s written a short story, "Truncat", set in the same world as Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It’s on Salon so you’ll need to wander through their day pass thing. But hey, it’s a good day for it. You get Kaufman agreeing with me on Pedro, a nifty article on Bollywood, and some Al Franken miscellanea.
Where was I? Ah, yeah; it’s not a bad story. It’s more transfictionalist stuff, which is all good, but there’s still a tendency to neglect the characters in service of the cool technological concept. Campbell would love Doctorow, which is not a bad thing. Worth reading.
