I was just reading this article on the Guardian and happened across: (01)
"Orkut - named after its creator, Orkut Buyukkokten - is the

association with Google. This has helped it attract the
"alpha geek" bloggers and commentators on social software." [1] (02)
I suppose that the "alpha geek" bloggers would include a bunch
of people on this list? (well, not *me*...) (03)

issued a statement yesterday asserting that the Bush administration
had systematically distorted scientific fact in the service of

nuclear weaponry at home and abroad. -- James Glanz, New York Times
