Literature
That's a bit vague, isn't? Literature is a pretty large field... I'm
trying to specialize in the study of Swedish science fiction. We'll
see how that goes. SF isn't the most popular genre among the literary
pros...
The Net as an anarchy
It isn't an anarchy, really. It is more of a meritocracy, where those
who know the most about how it works makes most of the
decicions. But those people tend to be hackers, or have hackerish views on
life, and therefore try to let people have as much personal freedom as
possible, so it looks a lot like an anarchy.
Mike Marsden not on the Net
No, he didn't kill himself. He simply had to quit his position at the
university he worked on (I don't know why), and thus lost Net
access. Not very dramatic.
Also, he's back on the Net now. He wasn't gone very long,
really. Barely three years!
The Greatest Snooker Player The Universe Has
Ever Known
That's Limaal Mandella, in case you didn't know. At least, he was The
Greatest Snooker Player The Universe Has Ever Known until he was
beaten by the Archangel Anagnosta.
A cabbage called Max
He writes that he's not a cabbage, but a Kumquat. Do you believe that?
Another goddess (maybe)
It's not that Eris may possibly be a goddess, because that she most
definitely is, but rather that she may or may not be the same goddess
as KaTe Bush. Is that clear?
