Some of the links below are to the beginning of thoughts that generate later
thoughts over a period of days. I do not always indicate this, so if a particular
thread interests you, it's probably worth skimming, or reading a week or so past
where a topic starts. Some topics, such as philosophy, climatology and
computing, never die. The list starts in October 2000. You can jump ahead to 2001, 2002, 2003, or 2004.
