Doc
Doc Searls, who is obviously a wizard at this whole internet thing, has reposted an email (chain letter?) about fascism that he got. Links to original sources are actually included.

And now I'm on a one-week hiatus from anything Iraq or Federal Government related. See if this works...

Tunnel
Just a quick note that the new I-93 North tunnel, despite almost certainly helping everyone else, isn't actually helping my commute all that much. The I-90 East tunnel over to Logan helps a lot, because now everyone goes that way instead of clogging the I-93 North tunnel with their cars in some kind of attempt to simultaneously block my way and get themselves to the Callahan tunnel. In fact, right after that tunnel opened, the traffic on the old I-93 North viaduct suddenly cleared right up.

It's all because those clever traffic engineers have choked off the traffic about a mile or so before the tunnel entrance. The HOV lane dumps awkwardly back into traffic on the left side, giving a whole lane worth of traffic all of about one mile to change four lanes to the right before exits 15 and 16. (You can imagine how smoothly this goes.) Exit 18 drops traffic down to three lanes again, after which the four lane tunnel will flow smoothly, duh, for decades to come.

But the new I-93 North is officially wicked cool.
