But despite the universality of URLs, we often forget that they're not just a handy way to address network resources. They're also valuable communication tools. Jesse James Garrett
But when the self speaks to the self, who is speaking?—the entombed soul, the spirit driven in, in, in to the central catacomb; the self that took the veil and left the world—a coward perhaps, yet somehow beautiful, as it flits with its lantern restlessly up and down the dark corridors.
