Here's the beginning of a very large wave, I think.

I would like to point out that an article about the
Radebaugh exhibit was just published on slashdot.

I could go with this if all of the damage, collateral and otherwise,
could be striclty limited to the suburb of Redmond.

I have found that this cut up engine has some interesting properties. Properties which were probably not forseen or intended by the authors.

Use a mouse to drop a Requirements Document, as written by, say, a member of the Sales staff into the upper box. Then visit the CPAN site, grab a couple of relevant Perl modules and drop them into the bottom box. Activate the 'Cut It Up' button, grab the results, drop it in to your source code file and fire up the Perl interpreter. Voila! you now have a well structured Perl program which conforms to spec.

Sometimes you will have to try it a couple of times. It seems to work with Bugzilla reports, too. It doesn't seem to work with lisp since it has trouble keeping the parentheses balanced properly.

This is a page which I monitor, generally on a weekly basis --more frequently as conditions warrant. Interesting that there seems to be a swarm around Gilroy and points south along the San Andreas lately.

The war between the SF DA's office and the SFPD goes
thermonuclear. If you live in San Francisco, this
party is shaping up to be just plain awsome.

| Critics have called Harry Crews a "mad genius" and
| "Flannery O'Connor on steroids." His novels chronicle
| the southern world on the edge of insanity. His
| characters set out to eat an entire car on national

| obsessed with training hawks when their suburban lives
| collapse. Crews has created a bizarre literary
| landscape, and this book is a critical collection
| devoted to helping readers traverse it.

Pretty sweet implementation of 20 questions. It was able to guess I was thinking of something to do with drugs. :)
