Whiskey Bar

Whiskey Bar 01/27/2004 05:18 PM

I started reading Billmon's Whiskey Bar recently.  Billmon, one of the anonymous bloggers at Davos, is an excellent writer and quite a thinker to boot.  Here is a paragraph from his recent post about blogosphere that jumped out at me:

I guess the metaphor I would use in place of Ito's amplifier would be earthquakes -- which occur by the thousands all over the world every day. Most go unnoticed, unless they happen to hit a densely populated area, in which case they become news. If a really big one hits a remote area, it might become news, if word eventually gets back to the metropolis. But it's less likely to become a big story.

His remarkable analogy stuck in my mind like a gum would to my shoes.  BTW, I don't know who Billmon is but, if he can afford to attend the Davos event, his whiskey bar must be doing pretty well because I read somewhere that attending the Davos event costs around $10K.  Ouch.

Whiskey-Bar Economics

Whiskey-Bar Economics 06/05/2004 09:30 PM
One of the better online writers on the liberal/moderate side of the spectrum is “Billmon� at Whiskey Bar. He’s got a huge, informative, statistics-laced piece on the general state of the U.S. economy, worth a read by anyone who cares even a little bit. As an added bonus, in the comments someone has posted a pointer to this, which (if even moderately accurate) is pretty astounding.

Bride, Once Boring, Now Known As Bland
(AP) 08/27/2004 01:59 PM
AP - If going from the sublime to the ridiculous is not your idea of a good time, how about the bride who made the switch from Boring to Bland? While it might not sound very exciting, she and the man she was marrying managed to catch the attention of television talk show host talk Jay Leno even before they tied the knot.

Bride of the Friday Diversion

Bride of the Friday Diversion 09/03/2004 02:14 PM

It's a long weekend coming up for us U.S. folks, so we'll need some extra diversion this week. I was thinking of keeping this one in my back pocket to slowly mete out future Friday Diversions, but this way you can divert yourselves if I miss a Friday or two (or, like recently, twenty-something).

Back when I picked up my first Red Hat CD, open-source gaming was limited to tongue-in-cheek cracks at Microsoft and a few 2D X-Windows games that almost required degrees to do well in.

Since then, open-source gaming has gotten a lot better, and a lot of the best stuff is available for Windows. GnuWin II is an online compilation of open-source software that's available for install on Windows. They have two games sections that are veritable treasure troves of time-wasting goodness.

In the Games Section, you'll find Asteroi ds clones, strategy games, and (of course), networked multi-player Pac-man.

The 3D Games Section has some real gems, including a multiplayer 'BattleZone'-type tank game, 3 D Pool, and a very advanced flight simulator (pictured above).

GnuWin II has a lot of excellent free software listed for Windows, but I'm personally addicted to the gaming sections, because it feels like going in to Best Buy, loading up a shopping cart with games, then having the whole cart ring up as $0.

Have a great Labor Day weekend!
