If you haven’t wasted half a day at the Wikipedia, you haven’t wasted half a day.
It’s a cool idea: make a HUGE online encyclopedia, sort of like E2, and K5.
I really like this idea of letting anyone contribute or modify information about, well, anything. It’ll be interesting to see if the goddamn trolls can get past what my friend Eric calls “the basic human desire to destroy” and let this project flourish.
I won’t have time to update again until the end of the weekend, so I here’s wishing everyone a good one. Just remember to keep your hands and arms inside the mixer at all times.
I walk the thinnest line.

Is anybody else using the newest version of Mozilla?
I installed 1.2a last week, thinking that I’d play with it a little here and there, but it’s quickly replaced galeon as my browser of choice. Now, don’t get me wrong. Galeon is a fine browser. It’s a fine browser, Stuart, does lots of spiffy things, but it doesn’t have the type ahead find, Stuart.
You know that Jonny Wurster kid, the kid that does the backend for that other website? He’s a foreign kid. Some of the neighbors say he smokes crack, but I don’t believe it.
Anyway, for his tenth birthday, all he wanted was a Burrow Owl. Kept bugging his old man. “Dad, get me a burrow owl. I’ll never ask for anything else as long as I live.” So the guy breaks down and buys him a burrow owl.
Anyway, 10:30, the other night, I go out in my yard, and there’s the Wurster kid, looking up in the tree. I say, “What are you looking for?” He says “I’m looking for my burrow owl.”
I say, “Jumping Jesus on a Pogo Stick! Everybody knows the burrow owl lives. In a hole. In the ground. Why the hell do you think they call it a burrow owl, anyway?” Now Stuart, do you
think a kid like that is going to know about the type ahead find?
You know what, Stuart? I like you. You’re not like the other people, here on the Internet.
