Speaking of a lot happening .. I want to mention, ever so briefly, this article by Egan.
I had opened that page in a separate browser tab, but I got distracted and called away before I had a chance to read it.
Some time later, I clicked on the tab and started to scan the text there.
I normally browse the web with a separate dedicated browser with Javascript disabled .. because so many sites go crazy with Javascript, which can consume system resources for no good reason.
The effect of browsing with Javascript disabled .. is that the text sits well below the page title at the top .. separated by a large (un-sized) version of the photo they use.
After reading a few sentences, I was so impressed that I wondered, "Who is writing this?" .. and I scrolled up to the top of the page.
When I saw that it was Egan, I said (out loud), "You are such a ninja."
