Pun Salad

I fed my blog picture to the Piet interpreter, and it printed out the first act of Hamlet, which I thought was pretty amazing. Well, except that instead of "A little more than kin, and less than kind." it printed "Man, you best back off, I'm gettin' a little pissed here."

(Via Tim Lee at Tech Liberation Front, who makes the obvious point about the DMCA and the First Amendment. What, you don't think it's obvious? Better check the link.)

Dropped are:

• The Miami Herald's Dave Barry column page, since it's pretty rare that they ever have anything but "classic" Dave columns.

• Cato's main page. The interesting stuff is elsewhere, Cato-wise.

• Liberty and Power. One too many non-compliant RSS feeds.

• Ninth State. Just stopped posting back in August. Wha' happen?

• Mike Pride at the Concord Monitor. Also seems to have lost the blog fever.

• Eric Raymond. Keeping busy elsewhere, no doubt.

• Soxblog. Now blogging elsewhere, see below.

• John Stark Review. "Web Site Suspended." That's not a good sign.

Changed URLs:

• Hugh Hewitt's blog moved to Town Hall, and now with additional Dean Barnett (Soxblog) content.

• Daily Webshots. How do they stay in business? They seem to be trying the "let's hide the free stuff" business plan. It's here now.

Added:

• And Rightly So, from the opinionated and entertaining Raven, a fellow Granite Stater.

• Ken Jennings, who's really quite funny and smart.

• Jeremy Lott. Except Shawn Macomber is there now. Hopefully the quality will stay high when Jeremy Lott returns.

• Betsy Newmark. Constrained Katie's mom, which is good enough for me.
