People:Two new things on the site today: we’ve flipped our link list to delicious (which has just updated its interface and dropped the interstitial dots): anyone can publish links to it by using the nmp2008 tag. [UPDATE: clever/dumb link by mikurubeam to an expired internet meme, purporting to link to “Michael Honey”.] Also, below that, links to everyone’s most recent blog posts. (MH)(If you don’t quite get delicious, start here).
