From Ken McLeod's blog, an amusing joke from ex-Soviet Georgia:
bq.. What did we use for lighting before we had candles?
Electricity.
And then Adam Felber had a link to a site dedicated to the Freeway Blogger.
Somehow, they seemed of a piece.
And on an unrelated note, Daniel Lanois' Slow Giving from Shine is giving me goosebumps as I write this.
