Das eez kaput! Sometime around 2002 I spaced the entire database table that mapped individual entries to categories. Such is life. What follows is a random sampling of entries that were associated with the category. Over time, the entries will be updated and then it will be even more confusing. Wander around, though, it's still a fun way to find stuff.
—a wine mainly borne of its worst vineyards, a wine barely removed from the fermentation vat, a wine that is nothing more than pleasantly tart barroom swill—its international standard bearer is a question that will undoubtedly puzzle marketing students for generations to come.

Hello, did I also time-travel during my sleep? Because it sure sounds like someone is partying as if it's 1999. Let me clear about something : I still like most of what's being talked about but how can you possibly expect anyone, with half a clue about how these things are actually built, to take you seriously when you say stuff like that? It's like reading sales brochures from the Bubble, all over again. That kind of thing is, not to be too blunt about it, really fucking hard. It's not because people haven't been trying that we haven't arrived and the Semantic Web is no more a magic bullet than XML is. And then there's this :The XML content created by our new client will leverage existing standards like XLink to effectively make every piece of content be crossposted to every relevant group, without any duplication of content or wasted space. In seeing the Semantic Web as the New Usenet, we have to consider that every topic, every organization, every author is a newsgroup, too.
A few points. First, the only thing more annoying than an automated spell-checker is an automated grammar-checker so the author's pretty much already lost me with this analogy. Secondly, I am all for tools that map the "shape" of things but this just sounds like the information equivalent of getting stoned on bad hash and spending hours watching the cool visualizations that your mp3 player creates. That, ten or twenty years in to the information revolution, there is nary a mention of the kind of information overload this wunder-app will create is troubling. When I read about this kind of thing I am less and less convinced that the Semantic Web will save us fromWhile you type, instead of autocomplete fixing your sentences, an agent creates ad-hoc categories and uses a Google service to add relevant links for your perusal or review when the topic is revisited. The results would be as appropriate and on-topic as today's grammar-checkers, probably. Which is to say, frustrating, but still useful at times, and constantly improving. Being able to track all of this information all the time, though, should be one of the most liberating implications of the virtually unlimited storage that we've got in our machines.
the threat of homogeneity and monoculture; it just sounds too much like I can have my car in any colour I want so long as it's black. And the bit about small applications, loosely connected: it's already been done and people hate it. Just ask anyone who's trying to install Perl modules (hi, Bill ;-)
A house ... with a steel frame [that] went up in one day; the finish work took seven months.
I take back what I said yesterday about this country having the world's best music: That piece "The Last Full Measure of Devotion," sung by some airbag soprano with the U.S. Army band at the Pentagon, was what P.G. Wodehouse characters call the frozen limit. All this stuff, moving as some of it is—the reading of names, for instance—brings together some noxious tendencies. One is atmospheric overkill: As I type this, for instance, a string quartet is playing "Amazing Grace" while a man and woman take turns reading. The names alone, among distant city sounds, would have done the trick. I don't mean to sound like a fucking esthete, but whoever planned this was working in accordance with an esthetic too. It reminds me of the original coverage, when TV news—see, I'm not entirely abstemious—would put dramatic music under footage of the towers collapsing. Got to keep the customers entertained.

On the other hand it may look funny if you are viewing it in a browser with incomplete CSS and/or JavaScript implementations. Internet Explorer 6 comes to mind.
It's not that I don't love you. However, my time is limited and I no longer feel very good about spending it working around any one browser's inconsistencies with little, or no, confidence that they will ever be fixed or otherwise made more inconsistent at some later date.
On the other hand, if something is down-right unreadable please let me know and I will endeavour to fix it.

This page may not validate. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not aware of it yet. Part of the reason that I rewrote the entire back-end for managing this site is that the old stuff made it too easy for these kinds of mistakes to slip through the cracks.
