In January, 2002 I was blogging about…

A 20-something former CEO takes a fast food job
The death of Astrid Lindgren (creator of Pippi Longstocking) at 94
Isadore, patron saint of web surfing (who remembers when “surfing the web” was the dominant metaphor?)
Teenager created a glove to translate ASL finger positions to speech
On the implausibility of the Death Star’s trash compactor
The death of Hemingway’s “Old Man” at 104
Bernard Shifman, the moron spammer
11 September 2001, the Response of Poetry
A former student’s 9/11 poetry project (created for a technical writing assignment)
Arts & Letters Daily (long-running blog that’s still going)
More reasons not to trust the Internet
Examples of mainstream media falling for tabloid hoaxes that spread on the internet (a man suffocated by an exotic dancer’s attributes; an airplane passenger stuck to a toilet seat)
The NASA Challenger disaster
Programmers make ethical decisions
The Interactive Fiction Theory Book (a project I helped get started, then abandoned in favor of other projects, then rejoined as a follower)

This was a rough term. Still have a winter term course to publish before midnight but time for a break.
