"I am completely smitten with Google Chrome Frame. I don’t think it’s an overstatement to call it one of the more interesting developments in the web landscape to come about in some time, because it finally provides a real solution to the horror that is Internet Explorer. It’s not perfect, of course, but it’s an audacious start. If nothing else, it should give Microsoft a rather swift kick in the ass."September 15 2009

Ciao Giordano
John Crowley: “Today is the 17th of February, which in the face of subsequent calendar changes we take as the anniversary of Giordano Bruno's immolation in the Campo dei Fiori in Rome, in the year 1600. In the 19th century a statue was raised on the site by freethinking Italians then in conflict with the Vatican; the statue pictures a haggard and ascetic Bruno in the Dominican robes he never wore after his flight from Rome as a young man.
