From the "It's amazing the trouble people get into with oregano!" and "the Internet is good for something" departments.
"Google is not the Eye of Sauron, finding all that is good on the Internet and corrupting it. Nor, despite its mission "to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," is it humanity's informational savior. Google is a company that provides an enormously significant online service. When that service raises serious legal questions, we should ask whether it is good for the users or bad for the users."

Yes, the internet is full of idiots.
"The story of a man who taught his cat to use instant messaging." I'm going to bookmark this. And then hopefully never look at it again. So that you might do the same.
"A "public suffix" is one under which Internet users can directly register names. Some examples of public suffixes are .com, .co.uk and pvt.k12.wy.us. The Public Suffix List is a list of all known public suffixes. "
Interesting reflections on ROFLCon by a very active Wikipedian.
Interesting idea, although I suspect there was too much fanfare around the actions to really make it work.
I really really hope that they didn't just script this.
Wonderful blog that collects and blogs about single topic blogs.
