Various pornish fan and roleplay groups, but also abuse survivor groups, being stomped out.

I have a comment in the second entry, about how my friends and I had initially avoided blogging because of the perceived risk of putting tons of content on a commercial server which doesn't let you easily extract that content for private archiving. Aka "I could have told you so."

Warren Ellis is boycotting:

I broke the link due to reports of the site dumping adware onto IE browsers.

Following up from the previous entry: yeah, I think the logo not just has a crow's nest but is meant to evoke sails, though the pencil and circle throws me off. But quite blatant is our Profile pages:

Pirate Name: mindstalk

Mutual Mates:
Also Friend of: [I like how LJ doesn't tell you when someone's friended you, so I get to wonder how long someone's been around. Hi, chef!]

And then community profiles have Crew Info, Captains and Crew Members.

Cute, I like it. Nothing on Google. It's a sad day when LJ is cooler than Google.

Separately, I've found that the LJ style I'm using looks a lot nicer in Internet Explorer, with lots of ornate cursives, than on Firefox. I picked it because of how it looked on IE. Sniff.

More breadcrumbs! Pollan, Sen, Chinese fantasies, manga, anime, webcrap, games.

Marginal revolution gives us

Travel website gives lower prices if you sort the prices lower to highest rather than the reverse. The comments mention other cases of different returned prices, based on starting configuration (baseline + features, or high end - features) or how narrow a search was.

Dan Goodman, http://dsgood.livejournal.com/ seems to every day have an interesting selection of science news. Strong cognitive science bias, but also neat stuff like "new Etruscan ruins found". I haven't added him to my LJ friends list since my friends page is getting pretty cluttered as it is (do people with 100+ friends even bother using that page?) but I check in.

Page for comments on http://mindstalk.net/socialhealth/

I've started keeping a review and reference of Bloomington restaurants I've been to.

This entry is for general website comments.

Yes, I've figured a logical use of LJ might be to let people comment easily on my stuff, while keeping my actual permanent stuff under my domainname and control.

This entry is to let people comment on my Vernor Vinge web page. Singularity stuff is fair game too, until I post some entries for that.

This entry is to let people comment on my Steven Brust web page.

This entry is to let people comment on my Robin McKinley web page.
