Google news is also useless as a way to get actual news. The way it agglomerates stories by popularity is like a bunch of 5-year-olds playing soccer. pretty much a random closely packed bunch orbiting the goals. Enter Polymeme who describe themselves thusly:

If we grant that the relevant stylistic period for steampunk fashion is somewhere between 1871 and 1914 then the following resources are a useful point of refernce in developing pieces which subscribe to the aesthetic:

In October 2006, Zecco launched on wallstreet.

Getting ready for the Bay-to-Breakers, it's time to crank out a little longer run. There's a big difference between 3 and 7.4 miles, and my body knows it.

I was reading the Chronicle today and finally got the low down on what all my East Bay friends have been talking about: The restaurant takeover hold-ups tat have been plaguing the whole East bay from International Blvd. to Berkeley. I also read about a citizen shooting on the 600 block of 59th street. A homeowner heard someone breaking into his window and confronted the burglar and shot him in the chest.

Here is another 3-mile loop that I like to do.

This is my new 3 mile Personal fitness test run. It is all flat. My goal is 18 minutes. Wish me luck.

This is quick 4.3 mile run with some decidedly nasty hills at the end.

This site is built with the Drupal CMS. I have been experimenting with the application for the last 3 months and I have to say, I am very impressed. Installation and configuration are simple and straightforward and the number of user-contributed modules is large.

How wikipedia is less than 6 degrees of separation from absolute hell. About a year ago, I tried to post an entry on Wikipedia about Zecco. Zecco is significant, notable and clearly a leader in the web 2.0 space so meets most of the requirements for a posting. That entry lasted about 30 minutes before it was tagged for speedy deletion as "blatent advertising". At that point in time, I realized that the back and forth with the administrators was going to make getting a posting up about the company pretty difficult, so I dropped the effort.
