Formatting
Man, formatting a web page is a real pain in the ass. Avoid doing so at all costs. Turns you into a nerd and stuff.

So Berkeley Breathed of Bloom County fame has rematerialized in an Onion AV Club interview, which, I think, is a rerun. (It's good that the Onion is finally setting up reruns instead of just sitting there statically for a month. How come I can't take a couple months off every year?) I kind of grew up on Bloom County, although apparently only people in a very narrow range of ages actually have any idea what Bloom County is. Weird.

Let's run the network ourselves
This sort of thing is pretty exciting. There are already companies (like this one) that will act as a telephone/internet gateway, which basically means that you can get your phone service delivered via internet. So one pays for the service and the internet connection and gets free, unlimited calls anywhere in the US. Split the internet connection several ways and you end up connecting to the rest of the world for cheap. Clay Shirky explains here why phone companies are somewhat screwed by this, and why that's probably good.
