This is thoroughly odd. Most of you aren't seeing this, but anyone who uses Rojo have seen all today's (misplaced) entries. 2006-08-18T21:50:50ZUntitled entry permalink

Oliver Kamm has thoughts on The Guardian's Comment is Free blogs. I pretty much agree that most of the comments are - well - deranged. Personally, if I were designing Comment is Free, I'd replace the comments box with a feed from Technorati. Far less messy - and having to post on another blog greatly improves the signal to noise ratio. Alternatively, something like the Slashdot or digg moderation system probably wouldn't be bad (I'd tend towards the Slashdot system - it's has slightly higher immunity to ideological moderation, especially when combined with the second-level moderation). There's nothing wrong with blogging that a little bit of threaded comments boards and moderation won't solve. 2006-08-18T19:39:07ZUntitled entry permalink

Rob at Londonist: "Strip poker is just another of those horrible disappointments in life. It's one of those things that people tell stories about at school, and you hear rumours of when a friend of a friend of a friend and his friends got drunk on cooking sherry while someone's parents were out and they played strip poker and crazy, glorious, rude things happened." 2006-08-18T15:33:03ZUntitled entry permalink
