For some reason, I've found it hard to get much time online this week. Maybe it's partly due to the fact that I finally began reading the first book of Neal Stephenson's Baroque Cycle. It's hard to put down. And it's not like I'm going to be finished with it any time soon.
Meanwhile, there's a very interesting discussion happening in the comments over at Tal G.'s. It's been going on for close to two months now, in fact. Unfortunately, Tal hasn't been participating, or blogging, either, since he put up the post at which this is taking place (which is on an entirely different subject than the comment thread it's generated). But the squatters don't seem to mind. Strange brew.
