On the Road Again
Off for a 3 day vacation. Expect light to no blogging between now and Sunday night.

Watching Modulator’s Navel
Modulator’s 40,000th visitor arrived today (per Sitemeter). Regular readers will remember that number 20,000 arrived on January 27, 2004.
The first 20,000 took 267 days and the 2nd 20,000 only 106 days. I like that doubling rate but would be pleasantly shocked to see the next doubling (to 80,000 visitors) occur in 106 days.
I’d like top reward visitor number 40,000 with a link but I don’t know who it was. I was a bit blindsided by the upsurge in search traffic today and that visitor zipped right off the bottom of the short but free Sitemeter referral log. Oh well, maybe next time.
Thanks to everyone who has stopped by!
Another Kind of Ruins
Modern Ruins Photographic Essays is just wonderful.
But be careful when you visit as this is not a drop in and move on exhibition. It will suck you in and perhaps after spending a bit of time with, say, this photo you might begin to wonder just who, where and when you are.
Thanks to Zombyboy for the reference.

Send Them to Jail Now
After reading this in the NYT Mark Kleiman says:
What makes me sick is that some of the CIA officers may get hung out to dry, but there’s no probability whatever that the lawyers safe in their Washington offices who approved all this garbage — in your name and mine — will ever be called to account.
There’s a simple principle that applies here. No human being, or small group, is fit to be trusted with absolute and unreviewed power over another human being.
Yet more reasons why waiting for an election may be waiting too long.
