If a woman accepts a Grammy wearing clothes that she could wear to church, is she overdressed?

Oh, the places one can find beauty...

Do you know how old it makes me feel to see myself type the phrase "back in the early eighties"? Anyway, back in the early eighties, I worked with a young man named Richard Bloch, who, in one of those this-is-what-the-internet-is-for moments, dropped me a line in our first communication in well over a decade; he had seen the Poor Clio reference to the 555- directory, and it reminded him of this.

A delightfully useless use of the Internet's powerful ability to put you in touch with information: a big list of 555- numbers from TV and movies.

Interesting story about Quebec snowbirds being frozen out of/in their sunny southern Florida second community.

Found via Netsurfer Digest, an interesting and well-executed site with a collection of photo essays of modern ruins.

I for one think that if they would just drop the public relations salve that the missile defense system is somehow about war between nations and admit that it's an umbrella against the coming attack from Mars, people would be more willing to support it.

That great magazine, The New Yorker, now finally has a robust online presenece with content. Some of the links are a bit clunky (surely there's got to be more in the archive than that short story), but it's early days yet.
And oh, yes, although the link to the promised "Cartoon Channel" with its new cartoon every 30 seconds only gave me a VBScript error, there is apparently a cartoon randomly served onto the home page every time it loads, and you can hit reload to see a new cartoon in how ever many seconds you like...although that batch, I have learned, is somewhat small.

Growing evidence to support the hope that we might not, after all, throw the benefits of a few years' good economies blithely into the winds.
