Mark made my day by sending me the following. He was cool enough to send me the entire article, although I don't think I can post the whole thing because I'd be breaking copyright law. Sigh. Anyway, the cite is below in case you want to find the rest yourself. The gist of it is how humans have recorded knowledge throughout history and the major pitfall of each technique. You don't get the full humor without the first part, but here's a liberal quote:

Leddy Weblog
One of the great things about referrer logs is finding cool pages you didn't know existed. Today I found the Leddy Weblog, “an experiment in a local current awareness service” from the University of Windsor's Leddy Library, although perhaps it's a “successful experiment” since they've been doing this since September, 2000. The very first link on today's… Continue reading Leddy Weblog

NYT. The Supreme Court is going to review Sonny Bono's copyright term extension act! Woo Hoo! The thrust of the review is to determine whether or not Congress overstepped its authority in extending copyright protection to 95 years — the Constitution only empowers Congress to protect copyrights for “limited times” in order to foster creativity. 95 years or the life of the… Continue reading NYT
Walmart's PC
Walmart's PC without an OS. I think the analysts are missing the point. I have lots of spare Windows 98 and Me disks that I could use to run this machine. I also have lots of nice monitors that are still usable. This is a discount PC for people that have PC parts (Windows and… Continue reading Walmart's PC
