An interesting link for readers and non-readers alike

Hi there. I actually worked today. Not that important or eventful so I won't bother talking about it unless you ask.

What I really want to mention is that I've been applying to all sorts of teaching and non-teaching jobs, many with the government, IRS, BLM, ATF--you name it. One description says: "must have knowledge of web publishing" and "must have knowledge of art history" Hmmm. I guess I sort of have knowlege of both, but enough to B.S. my way through and interview? I have no idea!

So I googled "web publishing" to see if it is actually something I know about. I came upon an interesting site http://philip.greenspun.com/panda/. It's a guide to web publishing by an MIT PHd guy. But what is really interesting are his ideas about the absurdity of publishing books about computers on "dead trees". Very interesting stuff. Check it out. He also has lots of good photos from his trip around the US, so if you don't like to read, it's worth it to visit for that reason too.
