Life's Odds and Sept. 11 - No one I know personally was on the list. Why? by David Plotz
All very interesting. And I think those of us active on the internet might be more aware of this than others -- I've seen personal reports from people one and two-degrees away from myself, so even if I've never met them, it's got a bit more impact than if I wasn't connected.

A little note -- the open meeting for brainstorming about CONvergence 2002 programming will be at the Radisson South, on November 10th, starting at 2:00. It's intended to generate ideas, so is open to anyone who has some for next year's convention. (It'll get on the CONvergence website sooner or later, I hope, but I thought I'd mention it here...)

The Onion continues to be billiant.

UPN has a Buffy site now that they are running new episodes.
I think the show is still really, really good. I won't spoil here though....
