- Creating (and protecting) Community Through Private Online Groups This is interesting but it’s also super-annoying: it doesn’t mention the existence of restricted LiveJournal communities or listservs that pre-date Yahoo!Groups: Onelist and eGroups came before and before that were many, many other listservs that didn’t have web interfaces. So–this piece feels very shallow and anecdotal to me because it’s barely scratching the surface.

HI I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS MOVIE.
“Ancillary Justice” book trailer from bironic on Vimeo.
Oh, lord, that inane Aeon dollar bill article. It’s like Alan Sokal’s paper, except this fellow appears to be dead serious about the nonsense he’s writing.
Oh, I thought it was thought-provoking to think that we have a silly paradigm just like people in the past did.
I want to see that movie toooo!
