tools: wikalong &c

Wikalong is a wiki that embeds itself in the Mozilla Firefox browser sidebar. Use it to make a running wiki-commentary of the web, or see what others have said about sites. My favorite mail program, Mozilla Thunderbird, has implemented RSS reading in a recent nightly build. Sam-I-Am, I don't know why this isn't being implemented in Firefox instead; mail application to read a stream of articles that most commonly reference web pages? While I know that RSS can be used for just about anything (e.g.: easily tracking the latest BitTorrents), but in general doesn’t this seem more web-centric than mail-centric?

Tony diTerlizzi and classic D&D monsters

The sixth entry of his series on drawings of classic D&D monsters is up. He's one of my favorite fantasy artists. His work tends toward the charming and cozy, rather than others' focus on machismo or melodrama.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
