I'm back from bowling with friends and competitors, and did surprisingly well--nearing 100 in the first game and solidly breaking it in the second. I'm no Trabbold, but for me it was pretty good (mainly because I kept used Andy's ball in hopes that his skizills would rub off.)

Late-night links from around the web:

• "Piracy is Progressive Taxation", an amazingly good essay by Tim O'Reilly drawing heavily on his company's experience.
  
• The BBC World Service is looking for the best song in the world (or they'll eat your soul); I voted for "At Last" by Etta James, a vastly superior song to--at the very least--the Mariah Carey song currently sitting in the top 10.
  
• I'd hate thing I didn't have a Google-related link to pass along. Thank goodness for Steven Levy's piece for MSNBC.
  
• Online mac users rally to help a man who got ripped off in a eBay auction of his Powerbook.
  
• A long but interesting white paper on digital television.
