My entire physics lab class is currently locked in each of our own rooms, scribbling away in agitation at our latest post-lab report, the most difficult and involving to date. Stress - especially communal stress - always leaves me with the urge to dissolve into hysterical laughter for some reason, but before I get back to work, I have a website/concept rec:
I just (only just!) came across the Baen Free Library and am charmed by "First Librarian" Mr. Eric Flint's introduction, in which he explains his two major reasons for hosting free fiction (specifically, in this case, sci-fi) online: his personal principle and commercial profit. In an online debate over the issue of online piracy/copyright, he took the side of leniency (towards piracy). As a matter of principle in upholding and acting upon his opinion, he and Jim Baen created the Baen Free Library.
Also, Senator Kennedy is diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. :(
