I do somewhere around 35-40 posts a week, which is enough to keep the readership from defecting to Crappy Taxidermy, but not enough to cover everything that’s happened recently. Consider this a perfunctory effort to get caught up.

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen thinks we need a new browser:
Well, maybe Microsoft does.
Thousands of acres burned in Santa Cruz County, California:
