defective yeti: An Unofficial Howard Jones Fanzine

defective yeti: An Unofficial Howard Jones Fanzine Hey! This guy is funny. He's the one who wrote the Ikea walkthrough. As most of you know because you actually read that link the other day when I posted it. Unlike me. You think you're so smart don't you? Well you're not! You just have too much time on your hands. If I didn't have Blog This! installed you would be looking at a post from last summer or something. What I need is some sort of feedback mechanism ... I post a link, you guys follow it and rate it and the next time I read my blog all of the links are colour coded by your ratings. Then again, you're reading _this_ so it doesn't say much for your judgement now does it?

George Lakoff tells how conservatives use language to dominate politics

George Lakoff tells how conservatives use language to dominate politics. The obvious question is why these progressives don't take Luntz' book and rewrite and sell it as "The Language of Freedom."

Britannica(TM) Free Online Encyclopedia

Britannica(TM) Free Online Encyclopedia: "The Eleventh Edition filled 29 volumes and contains over 44 million words. It contains over 40,000 articles written by over 1,500 authors within their various fields of expertise. What was particularly remarkable was that many of the entries were written by the most famous people of the age. Henry Ford, for example, wrote the article on mass production. As such, it was considered to represent the sum of human knowledge at the beginning of the 20th Century."

Their OCR is obviously on the fritz, with occasional missing chunks and strange characters, but it's still cool.

And out of copyright too - use it as you will.

There's a problem with this site, good as it is, in that it reminds you so many times on every page exactly how uncomfortable it is to live next door to the states. 10 minutes, and then I gotta go read Get Fuzzy for a wee while
