Don't plug that leak from Disenchanted: Joel's right that all abstractions leak, but that's a good thing. Scot Hacker's weblog looks a lot different. Mozilla 1.2 is out; I was going to say Type Ahead Find would rock if it actually searched everything on the page (not just links), but apparently it does search everything if you preface with a solidus. Soma FM has returned, which is good news for antifans of Clear Channel.
Russell Beattie didn't finish Snow Crash, but other people are beating Cryptonomicon to death--or at least the demise of Enoch Root to death. I naïvely thought it didn't happen, that he was the one snuck out under the blanket, or at least I remember it that way now. Especially ESR's dinner comment from Stephenson makes it sound otherwise: that Root's a modern day Gandalf. That's pretty proven with the excerpt of the new book Quicksilver in the Cryptonomicon paperback featuring Enoch Root looking for another Waterhouse in the 1700s, reports Bill Greve on that page. (Funny: Harold asks "Anyone know if Stephenson's a Tolkein buff?" even while Neal lays plain Randy's dwarfitude. As if I have room to speak, when I haven't actually--um--read those particular books.)
You could use python :) where indentation is necessary and resistance is futile.
I'm reading The Deconstruction of Christmas in America, as seen on blo.gs as "Ho! Ho! Ho! Ban Christmas," a political holiday news page. Are there any happier Christmas-ish weblogs around?

I wish there were. I started the weblog on a whim when my wife and I were discussing the fact that in 5 years nearly everything Xmas would be banned, or renamed.
Hopefully it will not be so.
P.S. Nice weblog.
