This again, leads me to Netvibes as my new start page. Goodbye iGoogle.

I’m switching over to Netvibes as my Protopage, just based on the ability to have multiple gmails open and usable!
I love all that Google do, but confess that this round goes to Netvibes. I can view mutiple Gmail accounts on Netvibes, ironically I can’t with iGoogle. To get the most out of Netvibes from various locations you really do need to log in to keep your settings, but thats fine with me.

Fairly boring list of censorship throughout history. Enjoy.
Lovely debate on the Vietnam War. Neat to see Chomsky eat Buckley’s arrogant lunch.
This just makes sense!

The Five Stages of Knowing

- Received Knowledge: receive and reproduce knowledge
- Subjective Knowledge: truth and knowledge are conceived of as personal, private, and intuited
- Procedural Knowledge: rely on objective procedures for obtaining and communicating knowledge
- Constructed Knowledge: view all knowledge as contextual; value subjective and objective strategies

Makes me giggle.
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It’s a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we’d like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It’s that little baby you’re holding, it’s that man you fought with this morning
The same one you’re going to make love with tonight
That’s truth, that’s love……
