Progress is going more slowly on the remodeling than I'd hoped -- the way of construction projects I'm afraid. But we've been making piecemeal progress.

For your discussion pleasure and all round edification, I've just posted another essay you'll find immediately below this post. It's in response to two essays you'll find on LaT by praktike -- on Gonzales and the BushDoctrine 2 -- irresistible, huh?

For the Iraqi elections, we're experimenting with a new feature at LaT to track provide a better forum for tracking the goings on and discussing their implications. If you've come across something of interest, drop in and share it with others in the dedicated comments thread. While you're at it, check out the TerrorWiki central library. New items in the collection, and the Chef's been making terrific progress bringing order to chaos.

And if you're tired of Iraq and terror and the Bush Administration, there are some odds & ends in nadya's basket or come by to visit the CTG info-napsterizer. We're trying to follow some fun things happening in the blogosphere with how people are using technology to communicate with each other and where all of this new world of communications is going -- and no, we don't think we're going to replace CBS or the NYT any time soon -- and wouldn't want to if we could. The blog has only got the bare walls and floors in, but it's habitable.
