I’ve changed a few of the settings on the blog template. Hopefully there are no errors, but please let me know if you encounter any. You should still see the “Hyperliterature” title, the posts on the left side of the screen, and the contributors, past posts, links, and the counter on the right side. If […]

In talking about Milton tonight this passage came to mind: “Firstly, that God moves in extremely mysterious, not to say, circuitous ways. God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players (i.e. everybody), to […]

You have to take a look at this story. It appears a guy was at Chuck E.’s with his kids and tried to eat from the salad bar without paying for it. You read the rest of the story. Suffice to say hilarity ensues. Here’s my favorite quote that’s sure to get you to read […]

If you saw the post of the stuffed pony that was on ebay and thought that was bad, well here is another weird stuffed animal. Personally, I think the stuffed pony was far superior. You can’t ride this one, it doesn’t have curls that can be styled with gel, and it doesn’t have rebar-supported legs […]

I’d read a little bit about John Gilmore before. (That link is a story on his current battle with Dept. of Homeland Security and Ashcroft. This a link to his homepage.)

Huh, that’s a long title. Anyway, here is the article Dr. Womack passed out today. I hope that I caught all the errors caused by OCR, but if I didn’t…well, deal with it. It’s 3:40 A.M. and the scanner was grumpy. Also, I made a few comments during class about Hell, and the lack of […]

The first link is a page from Microsoft that attempts to define net lingo. It seems the young people have turned into cryptographers. I hadn’t even heard of half the stuff on this page, but I think this one was probably self-explanatory: “kewl”: A common derivation of “cool.” Wow. I would give anything for Samuel […]

I officially lost my innocence after reading this piece. All my heroes are now dead. R.I.P. Clark, Peter, and Bruce.

I recently wrote about how blogs and RSS feeds were changing the way people receive and view news. I also noted that blogs were uncovering stories and doing the type of investigative journalism that has in the past, been within the realm of the major newspaper and television networks. Well, here comes another story down […]
