Chipping the web – triperfect

December 11th, 2007 1:18:02 pm pst by Sterling Camden

Chipping the webPsalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, and is an acrostic poem composed of 22 sets of 8 verses, each line of a set beginning with the same Hebrew letter, progressing through the alphabet from aleph to taw.

English slang. That’s English, as in the way people living in England speak (thanks, Mark Vinten).

Carl McColman sees John Lennon’s Imagine as “profoundly Christian” (thanks, Darrell ).

Speaking of Heaven

Thomas Midgely, evil scientist.

Cross-domain AJAX requests (thanks, Assaf).

Apotheon conjectured that Steve Yegge’s unnamed Next Big Language might be ECMAScript (that’s JavaScript all dressed up for the party), and Steve has now casually confirmed that it is at least “a” if not “the”.

You don’t want to get on Google’s bad list.

How to pass the Turing Test? Talk to the other head.

I’ve been saying this for some time now (thanks, Arjan).

Robert Hruzek collects the posts for his “What I learned from the world of sports” writing project.

Tish’s heartfelt response to my tag on the 3 things meme. Teeni continues it .

Thanks for the link-love, Michael and Brian!

Me on [GAS]: non-evil axis, and V’Ger’s adventure is just beginning.

Me on TechRepublic: our expertise is reasonable, but our ignorance is pricey.

No problem, Robert… if you haven’t seen [GAS] before, get ready for a fun, wild ride. I’m the old geezer among their writers.

Thank you so much for the link love, Chip! I really appreciate it. I love these roundups where you link to blogs like this. It is one fun way to get to know some other neat blogs out there. It’s like meeting new friends through your existing friends. :)

Hmm… I think I just saw something beginning with a ‘v’ pop up in my Blogroll…

You’re welcome, Tish — you did a great job on it. That’s the nice thing about blogging, or writing in general. The more you enjoy it, the better you are at it.

I only just now noticed that you linked to apotheon.org, instead of SOB. Actually, when I first saw this post, I assumed you were linking to the post in which I came up with that bit of conjecture.

I’m curious about the reason for choice of link target. It seems out of character, somehow.

Huh. Brainfart, I guess. Link corrected. Thanks for pointing it out, apotheon.

No problemo. Ah aimz ta pleeze.

I thought maybe there was a reason, and was curious. If it was in error, I’m glad I brought it to your attention.
