Shadoyia Jones, 18-years-old, spent the past years concentrating on her studies, and the National Honor Society was her most cherished achievement.

Entangled Ephemera #1

A bit of trivia from gullible.info has inspired a new weekly feature for EE and a new sidebar called Entangle Ephemera. The tidbit was, the average shortest path from one blog to another is 12 links. Each week starting from the arbitrary point of Pedantic Pundit, I will click through 12 subjectively random blog links (or until I dead end as some blogs don't link, but then the next week I will start again at the last weeks blog) and write a blog review, then post that blog in the sidebar and then start from their for the next blog path. I will post 12 blogs under Entangled Ephemera and then rotate the oldest link off.

Boulevard of Broken Links

MUSEUM OF E-FAILURE, this feature of Ghost Sites was launched in early 2000; it is an image gallery of some 1,250 screens captured from some 900 Web projects that for various reasons "went dark" during the years 1998 to 2004. Some had a chance to post a self-penned epitaph in the form of a "farewell screen"; others simply expired and drifted lifelessly, with no visible indications for their demise - often for many months. This collection provides a partial, but revealing look at the latter half of the Web's 10 years of existence. Annotations (Web Elegies) are included where possible in order to place each site in its historical context.

Cannes Cannes

The Cannes Film Festival has officially opened. The stars have ceremoniously climbed the legendary stairs, opening this 58th edition of the Festival.

Keep up to date with the news and events at the Cannes Festival Blog. You may want to wish some of this year's American entries good luck, including Robert Rodriguez's Sin City, Tommy Lee Jones' The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, and Gus Van Sant's Last Days.

Country Twang

The Democrat in Virginia's race for governor speaks with the bland man-from-nowhere accent of a game show host. The Republican front-runner? Think Gomer Pyle in wingtips. In this off-off-season election, how the candidates talk is becoming almost as much of an issue as what they have to say.

Storm Brewing

Ever since President Grant directed his secretary of war in 1870 to make "meteorological observations . . . of the approach and force of storms," the federal government has been America's official forecaster, providing weather information to the public.

That could change under legislation proposed by Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., who says the National Weather Service has grown so sophisticated and technologically adept that it threatens the $1 billion-a-year private forecasting business.
