- The 1001 books to read before you die. I can just see myself getting really far into the list, like one book away, then finding myself on a doomed airplane. Plummeting to earth, my death just moments away, I stand up: “Shit! Does anybody on-board have a copy of Moll Flanders?” Making lists like this is stupid.

I was all jazzed to check out Colorwars, which they dub “what the web’s next wave will look like: Twitter-fied mob jollies, or, Improv Everywhere applied to Web 2.0.” But then the link was broken.
