It’s been broken for months and I’ve had a lot of emails complaining about it so many thanks to Justin at Lycos who was [...]

Tim Berners-Lee speaks out about net neutrality, a very serious concern for all of us (not just techies), and some commenter has to nit-pick about whether Tim is “father of the internet” or not? Sheesh. That’s like dismissing the entire Gettysburg Address because Lincoln didn’t mention the foremothers. Or like not being able to tell [...]

I got through more of Friday’s list than I expect to, but still, how is it already Monday? Afternoon?
A reader wrote me about my pin-up girl. We bought the art but I didn’t credit the original artist; now I have, way down there in the footer. Enoch Bolles is one of the first — perhaps [...]
