15. November, 1999 - I'm pretty sure I'm switching to updates on Monday and Friday.

• Why Photograph? is a heckuva good essay, and is from the same guy who wrote "If this is your idea of playing a waiter no wonder you can't get work as an actor." which is a quote I really hope to remember the next time it would be appropriate.
• Geek Fantasia makes me feel better about my mental health, but not as much as you might think.
• There's A Fine Site sitting out there. Don't click the link if you're offended by anything. If you do, don't blame me.
• Did you know you can Opt out of Doubleclick? Well, only sorta, but it does mean they don't track you when one of their banners sneaks by the filter you should be running.
• Our Rigged Elections is a pretty pessimistic piece.
• Crypto Guru Bruce Schneier Answers questions on Slashdot. He's an interesting guy to read, and certainly seems to know his crypto.
• Turn off the music! -- S.L. Goldman is definitely not feeling the groove. Music really has only one purpose, and that's to destroy your sense of awareness.
• IETF Says 'No Way' to Net Taps - of course that's not going to slow the FBI, CIA or NSA down one bit, but it's a nice gesture.
• Medication may cause school shootings: It's not guns that kill people, it's drugs. And it appears that prescription drugs used to treat hyperactivity are the culprit. To quote the Dead Kennedys song Hyperactive Child: Ram a needle up my butt, put my brain into a trance.
• Telescope catches star just exploded: The Lick Observatory caught a supernova in the act, using the Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope. That's pretty cool.
