Sunday  the Nineteenth of January, 2003

Hmm, I've also blu-tacked a comments feature onto As Above, since it looks like this proposal is going to pass after all. It's interesting to see a Nomic having an active impact on something other than a pile of abstract rules and score tables...  ]
Alliteration Sunday at BlogNomic; an ample award of aggregate to anyone able to arrange an article so as to attach abounding alliterative assertations. An appealing if also asinine activity - is Alliteration Sunday an act to amend and abolish, already? Ah, almost achieved. I am acutely aware of how abberant an entry such as this is. But it's worth 34 points.  ]

 Friday  the Seventeenth

"Yes, this is the ... Mother Warned You About CD Like This! CD" shouts spam, apropos some tedious spy software or other. I don't know who it thinks my mother is.  ]


 Wednesday  the Fifteenth

Entrances to Hell is one of those little ideas that will hang around and overlay itself on your worldview forever - it's a collection of photos of forgotten-looking doorways and bricked-up alleyways from around the UK (there's one in Brighton), presented as a guidebook of foul and mysterious gateways to the netherworld. Graffiti as sigils of power, scrawled across deliberate and desperate brickwork. It's a persuasive idea. [via everywhere]  ]


 Monday  the Thirteenth

More meta-tag bumph - GeoURL maps the latitude and longitude of web pages, letting you find sites near to your own in the physical world. I'd forgotten that Lewes was on the Greenwich meridian line. [via Ole]  ]
"This is the Ruleset for BlogNomic; all Players must obey it."
Ben and I have been kicking the idea around for a while - a Nomic where players' weblogs are a part of the game; where rules can be passed that restrict, encourage or otherwise pivot around the contents of people's pages ("Whenever anyone makes a posting, they get a point", "Whenever anyone via-links to another player, that player also gets a point", "Anyone using the letter 'e' in a posting on a Monday is eliminated from the game", etc.).

It's called BlogNomic and is being run as a weblog itself, with players being signed up as contributors, proposals made as blog entries, and voting performed through comments. A fresh, unsullied ruleset is awaiting further ink; a fledgeling democracy is ready to consider your ideas, your improvements and your subtle bids for harsh dictatorial conquest. Join at the ground floor today.  ]
