Timequake by Kurt Vonnegut

The Straw Men by Michael Marshall
Palmerston is not a big town, nor one that can convincingly be said to be at the top of its game.

Vineland by Thomas Pynchon
Later than usual one summer morning in 1984, Zoyd Wheeler drifted awake in sunlight through a creeping fig that hung in the window, with a squadron of blue jays stomping around on the roof.

Collected Fictions by Jorge Luis Borges
In 1517, Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, feeling great pity for the Indians who grew worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines, proposed to Emperor Charles V that Negroes be brought to the isles of the Caribbean, so that they might grow worn and lean in the drudging infernos of the Antillean gold mines.

Placate Channel Surfing Tendencies

I've been cavorting aimlessly through the WWW this morning, following link after link, pausing along the way to take in a bit of content here, a picture there. It bothers me that most people surf the web like this. There's just too much information to take in, so we become accustomed to taking a taste of everything like channel surfing.

There's a lot of stuff to mention in the blogging community, lately. For instance, Nikolai's annual Bloggies are fast underway (vote for your favorite blogs using the link above). New people are jumping on the blogging bandwagon every day, including my friend Dianna and a few of Chris' friends. Jonno is posting about Marmite once again.

The number of websurfers and webloggers are ever-increasing. Could it be that in the wake of terrorism, war, recession, and Marmite, people are retreating to their homes and looking to the web to satisfy their need for connection?
