Some thoughts for 2003... a list of Nerd_Box_Art links.
Mostly 2001 and 2002. Research for several essays I will probably never find time to write. Things I think people should check out.
It is storming here in L.A. Lights keep flickering (I love laptop battery power.) No rain (never rain) just wind to knock down trees on power lines. And blow away the smog for the morning.
