A nice meditation on the role of computer interfaces in shaping modern culture. Also, a gift from Amy.

Okee dokey, I just finished my Python script to turn my book database into wordpress blog entries.  Instant wordpress blog history, it’s like I’ve been blogging for years! Back when it wasn’t cool.
