bk2site
"will transform your Netscape bookmarks file into a yahoo-like website with slashdot-like news. ... My goal is to enable the user to establish zero-maintenance high-value (small) websites. I am now using all the information in the bookmarks file, as well as some simple recommender system techniques. ... It can also download (http) other people's channels (RSS files) and display their contents in the generated web pages." I don't remember whether or not you can manipulate the bookmarks file with the Netscape Java/JavaScript hooks. If you could, though, and were running Apache you could hack bk2site into a mod_perl handler and manage your whole weblog, locally, with bookmarklets. Interesting.
Alan Lightman : "The way that cell phones are used is emblematic.
When you're on the cell phone, you're not where your body is. You're somewhere out there in hyperspace. By always being somewhere else, rather than where you are, you're nowhere. It represents the lost state of society. We're nowhere."
Benjamin Weil : "What difference does it make if it has been produced with a Palm of not?
I think that deeming it the 'first serious work of art' is somewhat preposterous. I am really suspicious of techno-driven and techno-celebrating projects that desperately seek to be called art. Art is about ideas, not about technology. I would therefore suggest we stop being techno-fetishist, and getting all excited at the gizmo-ization of a practice that is obviously more than just gee whiz!"
