Paywall
I'm delighted to report the existence of the New York Times Link Generator. This is great! Now I can link to Times articles without worrying about their paywall. Nice. (Update: I tried it with the article below and it didn't work. Oh well.)

Soap
Dave Winer: Howard Dean is not a soap bar. Read this now, especially if you suspect (wrongly) that it's a lefty rant.

Tit
Bonus link via the Wayback Machine: The other scandalous tit that people seem to have forgotten all about, and that the Times was good enough to remind me of:

If there was anything more bizarre than the sudden baring of Janet Jackson's breast during the Super Bowl halftime show, it was the hyperbolic reaction that followed. The whole fuss began to seem like a sequel to some Philip Roth novella---"The Breast That Ate the Super Bowl."

Note that I attended a Super Bowl party with nerds; we were watching the (kind of anticlimactic) moveon.org ad on CNN, and missed the whole thing. Of course, we also got to avoid watching Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson sing, which was its own reward.

dyndns
I'm presently paying an outfit in Andover something like $20 every month to host this space and serve email. I should be able to cut that price by at least a factor of two by moving to another hosting provider, but better still would be to use the fat cable modem I pay for in my very own house. Playing around with that idea has gotten me as far as bringing the old server back up, the very one that used to generate the pages for this space, complete with the funky layout that longtime readers of this space will recognize. (Will this, that I'm writing now, look as silly in just two short years as the old site does? Ugh..)
