Ooops!  I made the mistake of stealing one glance at my aggregator and found this (What is the future of “The World Wide Web?”) from Mark Kramer’s Smart Mobs.  It seems that it was 15 years ago, today, that directors at the CERN lab (birthplace of WWW), signed a document proclaiming that the technology would […]

It seems that me and my Deepest Sender window have been estranged lately.  By the way, Deepest Sender, a Firefox extention, is my blog editor of choice.  It isn’t that I haven’t had blogable ideas in my head.  It is that the ideas are too big, or too scattered yet, or I am uncertain as […]
