Self-Repairing Computers is really about self-repairing apps, but is interesting, nevertheless.
As SARS become the next six degrees of separation / network effect disease, Could It Be A Big World After All? looks at the original Milgram data to show that there aren’t really six degrees at all. It’s rather more than that.
Long term review of the P800 suggests it’s not for me!
Playing video games not so mindless. Apparently those days playing NOLF has made my vision more acute. Hurray!
Justice Bedsworth tells us how to get rich. A humorous read.

But the people now running America aren’t conservatives: they’re radicals who want to do away with the social and economic system we have, and the fiscal crisis they are concocting may give them the excuse they need. The Financial Times, it seems, now understands what’s going on, but when will the public wake up?
Studies in Intelligence looks at how the CIA uses IT to gather intelligence. Not an easy job being a CIA analyst, I think.
There’s a Wynton Marsalis fan club with an RSS feed. There should be loads more of these. Can’t think of anyone I’d sign up for right now, but imagine all those teens.

Ben points to some useful theories on the weapons of mass destruction, and a particularly good FOIA repository.
Josh Allen on the difficulties of combining leaf nodes, CxOs and bloggers.
Listen.com has reduced the price per song to , following a 49c promotion earlier in the year. Finally, the industry is using the massive flexibility available online to do some demand elasticity testing. At bloody last.

At 6 o’clock one morning, Austrian art group gelatin suctioned out a window on one of the top floors of the World Trade Center, shunted out a narrow balcony constructed of smuggled building materials, and posed on it while a helicopter flew by and took their photographs. An unbelievable, completely illegal, and fully secret stunt when it was performed, The B-Thing is now unbearably surreal, weirdly prescient, and forever unrepeatable.
