The hairy, scary Pope says hell is real. I'm really scared of the threat of eternal damnation after my death. No, seriously. I'm really, utterly scared of an old man in a dress. Now, go look at this. 

SemWeb reading of the day: Tim Berners-Lee on the fractal nature of the (semantic) Web. (Via an old Danny Ayers post sitting in my aggregator). 

Freedom of speech? 

Richard Bluestein: "Thank Goddess. This is so dumb. The net is no place for the humourless."

Dave Winer: "On this one, I take the side of the mean kids, because no one else is, and I have a soft spot for people who are being attacked by a mob, no matter how pathetic they are."

I'm not attacking anyone. I'm calling them assholes. Which is my goddamn constitutional right privilege that I hope the EU don't take away from me.

What the people did to Kathy Sierra is asshole behaviour. I don't like assholes online, I don't like assholes offline. It's all about the love, sex and dope and all that shit.

I'm gonna really piss of my liberal friends now and say: Kathy Sierra ought to buy a gun. Get a concealed carry licence - they're legal in the State of Colorado.
