Technorati: Link Cosmos. This is IT - a way of finding which blogs are linked to which blogs. Of course, it would be better if blogs were associated by similar and then may be people with similar interests may find a way of ranting together!

English is expanding...
The beauty of the English language is that it is always evolving. The downside of the language (or any language) surely must be that it puts a constraint on what we think. Mathematics was developed as a mechanism for expressing abstract thought, meta-physics attempts a similar feat, and languages other than English are more emotionally expressive. Does the language we use mould the kind of people we are? Italians have the language of love and are known for their romance (see, even the word romance is from Italy!). Is the American English the evolving language of the Internet? Today I coined the terms; "naval glazing" - a despicable, Viz-like description for male masturbation and novellog - a novella published entirely as a web-log. Chris Pirillo has more... check his blog out and then, if you are a psuedo-techie, look at LockerGnome.
Industrial Disease... and we are all suffering from it at the moment. I guess this should be updated to something like "knowledge worker's disease"... industry has been moved to another continent.
