It's Friday. It's been a long week. (Well, I teach classes on Saturdays, so it's not quite over yet.) I have a couple of writing projects due elsewhere very, very soon, so for the moment must leave you with nothing but directions to more interesting and/or important places than here, in no particular order or genus or species:

Ron Silliman on "the changing status of literary magazines in the age of post-mechanical reproduction"

An article on "Feral Cities". (via Futurismic)

A graduate student in linguistics takes a look at Jack Vance's The Languages of Pao.

RealClimate.org considers whether the term "global warming" is imprecise.

In only a few days, our guards became sadistic and our prisoners became depressed and showed signs of extreme stress." The Stanford Prison Experiment (via Plep)

The Mercury Theatre on the Air
