  • What happened to X-POLLEN?

    Christian Crumlish’s personal weblog, most recently called X-POLLEN, has been renamed. It is now called wake up and has been moved to xianlandia.com, as a more appropriate domain for Christian’s personal effects.

  • Jewels and binoculars

    Freaky software malfunctions are currently making it nearly impossible for me to reply to email in the normal way, so if you need to hear back from me soonly, try calling me.

More: Brian Dear has some impressions of orkut too.

    Scott Rosenberg announced the new War Room ’04 section of Salon, using a weblog format and incorporating contributions from across Salon’s staff.
