Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database
table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life.
What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated
with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it
will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun
way to find stuff.
Everything you've heard said about Velázquez' Innocent the Tenth is

Using XML-Topic Map on a PDA
"Palm Navigator is a shareware program that is
designed to help import an XML/Topic-Map onto a PDA (Personal Digital
Assistant), and to enable navigation, jumping from one topic to another
as easily as Web surfing. Palm Navigator is fully compliant with the ISO
Topic Maps standard (ISO/IEC 13250) which enables exchanges between Web

hierarchical structure. The data is organized in groupings of node
elements which may contain child nodes, text elements or references to

infancy so, please, be gentle."
Thomas D. Wason and David Wiley : Structured Metadata Spaces
"This paper will present the concepts of a
metadata space as it relates to cataloging and discovery. A space has
multiple dimensions; in the case of resource metadata, these are
descriptive dimensions. We will explain the needs for orthogonal
descriptive dimensions, and present a method for achieving maximally
efficient, independent dimensions using semantic structures realized in
structured metadata." (pdf)

Although I am usually loathe to say anything about television
Damian Conway : "I mean, how often do you get to see a destructor
that calls its own invocant
in order to invoke a closure to lexically flag
another destructor to delete itself, thereby removing a subroutine call
from the middle of a series of nested closures?"

This American Life : The Growing Aesthetic of Cringe.
"There are movies and TV shows and photographs
and books whose whole point is to make us cringe. In fact, it's a growing
aesthetic in America right now. Cringe is the new horror. It shares some
characteristics with horror, but has overtaken it in pop culture. And the
land where cringe is king is the land of Reality TV."

WBOSS (Web Based Open Source SpellChecker)
"is designed to work with any text input form on
any web page. It is called from a second form, opens a pop-up window,
allows the user to check the text, then inserts the text back in the main

Sarah Musgrave : "For the last few months I've been hearing about
"Web loggers,"
some community of underground trolls whose sole
purpose in life is to mine the Web for precious gems of information. I
imagined they spoke to each other in code, were only visible through Web
cams and all lived in San Francisco or in somebody's basement. So when I
met with local Web loggers Aaron Cope and Ed Bilodeau recently, I was
pleased to see they actually drink beer and have a sense of humour."

National Post on the Ladies Afternoon Art Society
"The problem with the word performance is that it
implies a distance from the audience, and we're just not like that. We
want to be out and talking to people and getting to know them. We don't
call it performance because we find it deters people from paying
attention, and then they won't think of it in any other way. We are not
artists, we are the Ladies Afternoon Art Society, out to help other
people and to make things look nice."
Andrew Wooldridge : Infinite Extensibilty with XBL
"The point here though is not so much this new
tag we created, but the fact that I could create whole new functionality
in the browser without a stitch of C++ code! XUL gives you a lot of power
in creating user interfaces for your web applications but only contains a
limited set of UI widgets for you to build on. XBL gives you a whole new
toolset to build up your own widgets -- with their own specialized
behavior -- that can allow you to create interfaces of whatever
complexity you desire!"
Rest assured gentle reader,
