26. October, 2001 - Ugh. Harsh reality comes creeping back in.

Bush signs sweeping anti-terrorism bill into law. It's a law now. How the new antiterrorism bill could affect you. Senator Russ Feingold on the Anti-Terrorism Law. War on Terror vs. Bill of Rights? Will the War Kill the Bill of Rights?. I don't really have a comment. It's just too damned depressing.
A dose of anthrax reality: ... assume you receive a letter in the mail with powder. It's almost certainly a very unfunny hoax. All of the anthrax-laden letters so far have been mailed to those in high-profile positions. No offense, but you probably don't qualify.
If you're really concerned about biowarfare, read USAMRIID's medical management of biological casualties handbook. Heck, it was paid for by your tax dollars.
U.S. Citizen Swaps E-mail With Saddam Hussein.

I'm igonoring reality and being blog-a-rific

I hooked up a Site Map which is only a little slow. I also updated the list of links I surf in the morning while caffeinating. Just in case someone cares.
I'm Dave number 107 according to Google. But I'm DaveP number 3 and four of the top ten Polascheks. And there's some Dave Solidarity going on out there (scroll almost to the end).
Bruce Sterling's Schism Matrix sometimes has cool bits. But not very often at all. Hopefully he's spending his time writing more good books, because the content doesn't get updated all that often.
use.it.or.lose.it exists to collect things making fun of Jakob Nielsen and Dean Allen's feeling a little grumpy towards Jakob. Tells him to Just Stop It. It must be rough being a usability guru.
I should've noticed this about a month ago, but my Weblogger Twin is Zeldman.
Googling sites related to Dave's Picks turns up jwz's Intertwingle, Karl Jones, Macromedia's Dreamweaver page, VISI.com, View from an Iowa Homestead, PapaScott and MamaMaus, and ViewFromTheHeart a bunch of UserLand pages, and bunch of my other pages. It's an interesting thing seeing what's related to you. I was pretty surprised to see Dreamweaver show up in the list, and only a little less surprised to see Visi.
