I realized how Joycian my use of the web is when I looked at what I've looked at in the last ten minutes:
Why you shouldn't microwave your mail
Should I set up Blogback?
Whatever happened to the October Project?
Bill's quest for world domination moves on
The current Daypop top 40 most blogged links
Gaydar has arrived!
Speaking of literature, I've been plodding through The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. I'm waiting for the payoff in this one. It's an interesting book, it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere. It's a kind of tone poem, a riff on comics and the comic book industry's birth.
I am quite enjoying the new Ben Folds CD, Rockin' the Suburbs. Ben Folds is a direct descendant of the Billy Joel piano-driven music that dominated the late 70s - early 80s as disco was busy dying and punk was picking up a synthesizer. The one difference is that Ben Folds isn't trying all that hard to be earnest; he has a great Gen-X sense of irony.
