I can see spending many hours looking at the internet archives that is all of a sudden highly accessible through the WayBackMachine.  See, for example, the May 1, 2001 version of the IU main page.

Rick Reis consistently produces an excellent electronic newsletter, "Tomorrow's Professor".  I would like to point to the article I received today ("Education for Tomorrow") but it is not yet in the online archives.  (Look for artice #363 in a week or two.)

Don't diss Oprah if you ever end up getting put on her bookclub list as Jonathan Franzen did. (Salon)

John Robb has found Windows XP to be faster than Win98 and WinME -- but I'm with Brent Simmons in that I don't want to use XP as long as it's practical to hold out.  (Win2K has worked well for me.)

Through following a scripting.com link to JD Lasica's site, I learned about the Online Journalists' Association meeting happening this weekend in Berkeley.  There is a session on blogging.  They are also assembling a list of good links about blogging.

Subscription services to Google coming our way?  I'd love to see a web services/XML interface to google and might be willing to pay for it.

I listen often these days to Talk of the Nation (NPR) through the internet.  I long for the days when TOTN will be discussing items other than terrorism and anthrax, however. While I'm on the subject of radio, one of the great cultural items I miss from Canada is CBC Radio and such shows as Ideas.  At least I catch the occasional segments through webcasts.

I'm working through the current issue of the NY Review, which has, among other good articles, two pieces about Sept 11 and its aftermath:  On the War and The Many Threats of Terror. 

There is a good discussion on the EccoPro group:  EccoPro Clone - Requirements Analysis  Ecco remains the center of my computing world -- and it's fun to think about how to write its successor.  The big problem is that it takes a lot of effort and energy to get a project started and focused, especially as a hobby project for anyone.

As I cleaning up my mail queue, I found an interesting ink that Isaac sent me in August:  Supercomputing and the Human Endeavor

Jack McCredie sent out a link to the ISVSM conference happening on the Berkeley campus right now.  It looks like there is significant participation from ECAI and the Anthropology Department among others.

The Flangy Guide to Hating VBScript.  This article is probably not a bad way to remind myself of the idiosyncrasies of VBScript whenever I have to use it after not programming it in for a long time (and therefore forgetting all the little annoying details.)  [link from scripting.com].

.NET articles if I ever get around to programming in it:  Hailstorm in Hand and Get Ready for HailStorm .

Hmmm....didn't know that there is a search engine specialized for educational sites before looking at the site stats.
