Go Big Red! I can't get the game on TV because the local ABC station is showing Stanford vs. USC instead. <yawn>

Jason, Evan, and Dan are discussing a web-of-trust relationship to filter sites. I agree, but I feel that if the content was on each author's personal site -- perhaps as well as a specialized topic site -- to see opinions of those you trust, you'd just have to go to their site! no messing around. no banner ads. no company involved.
