For the past several months this blog has consisted of nothing but thoughtful and serious comments about serious things such as politics and science and policy. If you truly grasp the Carrollian beauty of EnLumine, this will entirely make up for it.

My jaw drops, my eyes grow wide, and my head swells with wonder.
Monday, May 12th, 2003Ashcroft Sings
Monday, May 12th, 2003He also gets anointed with oil when elected to a new office, doesn’t think people should look at naughty statues, and thinks cats are a sign of the devil. Is there anything I missed that needs adding to the list?
Bizarre referrals
Saturday, May 10th, 2003I am proud to announce I am now the number 4 google link for pictures of elderly smoking weed. Yes, and number 6 for nasal mucus pictures. I’m sure having made this observation, I’m probably even higher. I wouldn’t have ever known this, had the query not shown up in my referral logs. What are the strangest entries you have found in your referral logs?
French Quarter Street Inhabitants
Saturday, May 10th, 2003TJ Rogers has a hilarious run-down of the various species you may find inhabiting the streets of the French Quarter, as seen from the other side of the coffee counter.
Since Blogspot archives go down regularly, try going to TJ Rogers, and look for the 4/10/03 entry. It’s really quite funny and an insight for those of you who may be considering a trip to the Big Easy, especially to help you figure out what not to do.
The Economist Slams John Ashcroft
Friday, May 9th, 2003This is just too good to pass up. A choice quote: “Mr. Ashcroft’s conversion into a centraliser…is short sighted because, as an evangelical who refrains from smoking, drinking, dancing and looking at nude statues, Mr. Ashcroft represents a minority in his own party, let alone the country.” Now I know why I’ve always loved the Economist. The Register is quite good too, applying the same wit and insight to technology issues.
