    An interesting article from WIRED NEWS that hits close to home. I share Penenberg’s conclusion though. This blog plays an important part in the research I do for all the writing/editing I do elsewhere.

    I’ve started putting up the pictures I took in Singapore on Flickr. The best thing to do is probably to subscribe to my Flickr RSS feed to find out when new ones are posted. Also, you’ll notice that I recently added a section in the sidebar that shows the last 5 pics uploaded to my…
