Les Orchard is doing a similar thing to my OPath setup with his XoxoOutliner. Cool! I'm going to be announcing something that'll make you guys trip out on OPML goodness. But that's for tomorrow, once I've finished my college work... 2006-11-13T20:04:51ZUntitled entry permalink

There are rumours flying around about the Gillmor Gang - the whole thing may be wrapping up, or that the show might leave PodShow. Who knows? In Steveland, nothing is constant. Truth is dead! The Gang is dead! Links are dead! Ding dong! 2006-11-13T12:46:57ZUntitled entry permalink

Fisking Central (a blog that's only one letter away from something really disgustin') has a nice take down of the silly Archbishops. I'm glad, though, that I'm finally part of a conspiracy to destroy everyone's most sacred values through the use of greetings cards, personal pronouns and traffic policy. So, the religionists have got "all the infidels are going to hell forever" and the infidels have got "don't let the believers have free parking on Sundays". That's a pretty good match. 2006-11-13T12:29:04ZUntitled entry permalink

David Starkey is arguing that we ought to disestablish the church. You're not going to get any argument from me not to. It's ironic that the religious people in Britain are so short-sighted not to be arguing for secularism. 2006-11-13T08:58:42ZUntitled entry permalink

Ophelia Benson: "Archbishops moaning about atheism is like queens moaning about republicanism or doctors wishing more people would get sick. It carries just a faint, tiny, barely detectable whiff of self-interest about it. And if you look at it that way, of course, they are the very last people anyone should listen to on the subject. They're wheeled out as experts, but what if they're not so much experts as people with a vested interest? What if they're simply guys who want to hang onto their posh jobs?" 2006-11-13T09:11:01ZUntitled entry permalink

AC Grayling has an excellent article pointing out the fallacies in the reheated nonsense that is the Theos think-tank. 2006-11-13T08:57:25ZUntitled entry permalink

Adam pointed to Danny Ayers' RDF-to-OPML experiments (using SPARQL and XSL). Very cool. I've seriously got to wrap my brains around RDF and SPARQL. 2006-11-13T01:16:35ZUntitled entry permalink
