In Praise of Conflict History

The sins of the internet are of course legion. Many if not all of those sins should be forgiven on account of Conflict History, an interactive website endeavoring to record all conflicts in human history.
As I understand it, the site is still in the beta stage. I have some vague notion of what that means and a clear understanding that the site is just stunning. Choose a period of time ,966-0971 for example, and the site will list the conflicts that occurred and locate them on a world map.
Well worth a butcher’s.

  2. Nathaniel:Thanks for the heads up. A bit Eurocentric, but very good nonetheless — and, as you say, it is a beta version. I had to get there via the following link though:Conflict HistoryProbably a Mac thing …

  3. Tangential (re: Austin). I've mentioned a few times that I am fan of ultra-conspiracy podcast (it has replaced AM talk radio in my time rotation), No Agenda, featuring Adam Curry (former MTV VJ) and John C. Dvorak, renowned tech columnist for MarketWatch and PC World, among other pubs. Well . . . Austin is so awesome, Adam Curry is moving there. He's renting a place while he and his girlfriend look for a ranch (possibly to buy, but I think he intends to lease . . . a ranch). So, watch out for the black helicopters. They will, no doubt, be pursuing Mr. Curry down to Austin. Worth noting, No Agenda has over 700 domain names that point to it, including: http://www.rickperryisanidiot.com . . . so he should fit right in, in Austin.

  4. You may remember Head Bangers Ball, Mr. Sullivan. I recall watching it a few time over at your swinging collegiate pad, back in '89, or thereabouts. The guy who hosted it now has a podcast where he talks about there being two different Obamas (either two guys or two robots, we're not sure), the Bilderbergs, The Codex Alimentarius, the earthquake machine, chem trails, weather control, UFOs and even Stargates. But it's very grounded and focused, compared to, say, Coast to Coast. I love it. And it's not a bad source of news–they were talking about Occupy Wallstreet two weeks before I saw anything on the news or saw anybody blogging about it. I'm rambling, it's been a long day. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
