Fun Website By: juli k on 11/3/2000; 7:51 PM Has anybody ever visited Arts and Letters Daily? It's a site that collects links to essays, articles and reviews from all over the internet. The articles cover topics like science, art, books, politics, philosophy, religion, trends, language, history, criticism, music, etc. etc. etc. There's something for just about everybody who likes to read. Some of their current topics are: a possible scandal on the Nobel committee, a story about Ursula Le Guin, an article about whether or not fingerprinting is reliable, an essay on utopia, a review of a book that discusses whether or not marriage is good for you, an article about how Beethoven's anguish could have been caused by lead poisoning, a new controversy about the Dead Sea Scrolls, a review of a Bertrand Russell biography, an article about some people who want to clone Jesus Christ, and on and on. The articles are written from liberal, conservative, and neutral perspectives. The quality is sometimes good, sometimes not so great. The little blurbs about the articles can be a little misleading, which is annoying, but some of the articles might stimulate interesting debate here. If you're interested, please copy the URL into your browser--I don't know how to do a link yet (Mark!). http://cybereditions.com/aldaily
RE: Fun Website By: juli k on 11/3/2000; 7:53 PM ***I don't know how to do a link yet (Mark!).*** http://cybereditions.com/aldaily Oooh, Conversant did it for me! Never mind.
RE: Fun Website By: Mark Morgan on 11/3/2000; 7:57 PM I don't know how to do a link yet (Mark!). As you can see, the wonderful and well-behaved Conversant did it for you. Unlike Discus, there is no special coding for posting, you use standard HTML. I promise, I'll make a basic formatting page before the Internet evolves into a separate intelligence.

RE: Fun Website By: Mark Morgan on 11/4/2000; 1:02 PM I was going to defend myself, but I haven't had a chance to get around to it yet.

The former will probably happen before the latter. :-) Mark (speaking of him in the third person, as if he's not standing right there in front of us) seems to be an impulsive writer, so that formatting page won't get done until he feels inspired. Nothing wrong with that, I'm not criticizing. This site's just his pastime, after all. Seth
RE: Fun Website By: Mark Morgan on 11/4/2000; 1:36 PM It's more like...focussing. I have to focus to get any significant writing done. Even a simple thing like explaining formatting--which is basically a brief introduction to HTML--requires focus. Particularly recently I've been very distracted and having just an impossible time focussing. At its most extreme this self-distraction mechanism causes writer's block. I'm kind of blocked for my fiction right now. Writing fiction means breaking into my emotional backlog and that backlog is not a happy place. Insight into a writer's mind, which seems appropriately on-topic for this site, for once.
