Found on the Web

  • A fine polemic about the Mac vs PC commercials. Don't really have a dog in this fight. Just enjoyed the art of the writing here. (I know that Macs are better for hardcore artistic things, just wish they could drop the pretension level a wee bit.) Via Jane Galt.
  • Neal Stephenson on '300' (registration required). The insight about the gamers knowledge of history and military tactics is right on. Also credit the History channel (amongst others) and it's easier than ever for a civilian to understand warfare. Via Instapundit.
  • Very interesting speech from Crichton on the limits of managing complex systems. In part, it's about global warming but the overall message has to do with the limits of human ability.
  • Ozzie, the next generation. Maybe someday I'll become a cat breeder...
  • And since I'm at YouTube, does the Union of the Snake have good dental coverage? (Seriously, what is that song about?)
