Big ol' grab bag o' links. Here are just a few of the hundreds of things I've been meaning to share with you:
David Neiwert, the go-to guy for tracking the rise of American fascism, has published his entire "Rush, Newspeak and Fascism" mega-essay. You can download it whole as a pdf on his site Orcinus, or you can read it in chapters on the indispensable Cursor.

BP Solar provides this calculator for determining how much you'd pay/save if you were install a solar power system to generate electricity for your home. It supposedly works by zip code, figuring your area's capacity for sunlight into the mix.

Free books in pdf format for the asking.

He died in the World Trade Center. We've written about him before.
