I've generally been relunctant to add comments to my weblog/journal even
though several people have been
hounding me to do so. And now there's a problem of spam hitting comment
systems on blogs (see sidebar). Mark Pilgrim explains the
problem into much detail, and gives good reasons why he's not adding
comments any time soon.
Which is pretty much how I'm feeling about it myself.
I took this picture a few weeks
ago and it reminded me of what it might look like in Detroit on Devil's
Night which historically has a higher incidence of arson than the rest
of the year.
I've never experienced Devil's Night but I've heard about it plenty of times
from family that live in the Detroit area. But in reading
up on it it seems that the amount of “urban renewal” going on has
dropped dramatically over the past fifteen years or so.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
