Blogdex?

For some unknown reason (unknown to me, anyhow) I'm getting a bunch of hits from Blogdex. I hadn't added my site to their system when the hits started appearing (I have now, after seeing the stats). Oh, yeah, one of them is even "Meister du Linkage," of all things. What is the meaning of these portents, I wonder?

A new e-zine devoted to personal publishing has just launched. Wait, that's too short a description. Here's a quote, 'This Corante Microblog covers what we call the "microcontent" sector: weblogs, Webzines, email digests, and the entire personal publishing sector. We also cover the business side of microcontent, including text-based microads, and corporate blogging.' Great...now what the heck is a "microad?"

For those of you who have been living under rocks, Eric has had some great news about housing, and he's also got another project going. It's called "Around the Web," and you can visit him to find out more. A little Oscar fashion commentary: "I tell you, things have come to pass when Woody Allen shows up anywhere looking better than Gwyneth Paltrow."

Think patent extensions on pharmaceuticals don't matter? Tell that to state governors and corporations, who are now spending gazillions on prescription drugs protected by patent long after the initial period expires. Something with no expiration date, and soon to be available on-line, if all goes well: the Gutenberg Bible. Not just the text, mind you, but actual digital scans of the pages' typography and paper surface. Flying foxes are not mentioned in the Bible, as far as I know, but by golly they may be a cause of ALS-Parkinsons dementia. Limit your consumption of the critters, please.

Finally, did you know the FDNY has a football league?
