Wars are conversations

John Robb: The real center of gravity in Iraq is a bazaar of violence.

Two of the funniest artists on the Web are here in the U.K. Hugh MacLeod, creator of the above, is one. (Here's another sample.) Chris Hill, of Ubergeek.tv, is the other. His Switch to Mac and Switch to Linux animations remain unsurpassed in their right-on funnitude.

Speaking of which, the extremely funny Gluetrain Manifesto is still up.

I'm annoyed that Dooce doesn't appear to have a feed. Dooce, in case you don't know, rocks. Liz reminded me.

Ah, Sam points out that she does have a feed, here.

Any locals here in London interested in an impromptu dinner tomorrow (Sunday) night? I'm thinking of something like we had in May.

Blogging out loud, I'm reading Tom, James, Cory, Euan, Tom, Julian, Inma, Suw, Stephanie, Matt, Loic, Ben (who famously got me hooked on this town two years ago, before he split, dammit), Yoz, Paolo (also in town!) Lance, Matt, Gary, Seyed, Hugh, Stowe, Chris...

They won't let me sleep. I need sleep.

And yes, I know they're not all around here. But they've been known to haunt the town, and I'm reading them anyway.
