Jakob’s article that condemns nonstandard links. Jakob is kind of a nudge about lots of stuff, but it is good to have a source where someone says “DON’T UNDERLINE NON-LINK TEXT”.

Don’t underline any text that’s not a link, even if your links aren’t underlined. Reserve underlining for links.

I am a strange, sordid loop
I am reading Douglas Hofstadter’s amazing and brain churning I Am a Strange Loop, so I’m noticing loops and recursion everywhere.
This dog machine loop is fascinating, I think it is a way for tennis balls to become soaked in saliva. Maybe it is a way to generate dog orgone? Perhaps it is a dog liberation device, a way for you to have a more equitable relationship with your dog. If you had an automatic feeding machine and this ball thrower, would your relationship with your dog be less of a servant-master relationship?
I like music videos with loops. My friend Rafal just recommended to me that I check out Swedish Band “The Sounds” and of course they have a loopy video. I’m a bigger fan of their “Song with a Mission“, but their video of “Tony the Beat” loops in and around itself.

This is where talk about property rights becomes more interesting. Look at the cross-section of folks who stop to look, photograph and enjoy the street art Banksy put up. How much jail time should he serve for this? How much should he be fined? Why?
