Sorry, we can't answer all email - but thanks for your feedback. Selected contributions may be published.

SkeptiNews is dead; its web/news-log and other meta-log functions are now encapsulated by SkeptiLog here. Links used in constructing these logs are contained at SkeptiCon. So far, no money is involved. View at your own risk. You have been warned.

If entries here look funny, it's because Bill Gates is Satan and the staff are lazy sods.

   Everything Changes     Thursday, November 15, 2001 01:36 p.m.  

A couple things. First, I'm changing the format (and form) of this log again. Well, the approach will be similar, a bit more political maybe, but it'll look a lot more jangly. Nope, I'm not filling in the last 8 months, sorry.
Next (and rather more importantly) the tale of Homeland Insecurity: Phoenix, Chaos, The Enterprise, and The Politics of Terror In America is real and very scary. Combine that with Tom Friedman's The Lexus And The Olive Tree and the stage seems set for major planetary struggles & disruption in the coming years. Bother...
Other than that, the house sale seems paralyzed but it yet may happen soon, so we may move soon, so this log may remain intermittant. Again, sorry.
