My review is up July 9th, 2008
Last night, I finished Zittrain’s The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It. Interesting read, but waaaaay too long (I have started reading his blog though). You can tell it has the academic slant to it. What passes as a “full review” here on {head}:sub/head is up over at LibraryThing.

Back in the saddle! March 13th, 2007
It’s been too long since I posted and I’m fighting the urge to just spew forth a link dump here. Too many good blogs out there mentioning too many good things.
