Folklore One - Anthropology Zero
Perhaps the title should be Folklore Won but that would be pushing my luck a bit. There is a saying to the effect that something believed is something. Something known is so what. This tale should be of concern to specialists in the humanities who were trained to deal with the arcane; it is people that they seem to have difficulty understanding even though anthropology by its root is supposed to be about finding out more about people. This is especially relevant when dealing with oral history that dates back a millenium as if it were yesterday.

Towards Zero: Philomena Van Rijswijk's The World As a Clockface
Following in the footsteps of the early Carey, Borges, Marquez, de Bernieres, and Fowles, Van Rijswijk uses her knowledge of the sea, and her antipodean base of Tasmania, to create a unique voice, taking the reader on a descriptive journey from the mythical antipodean island state of Esmania, past a small island to the east called Aotearoa, Antartica, Tierra del Feugo, Paraguay, the Cape of Africa, and back to the Antipodean mainland Incognita.

The Australian Fiance is a deeply moving novel. Not so much because of its story, which has moments of intensity, but is primarily, a simple story of love and loss. Rather, it is the exquisite language, the poetic transcendence affected by Lazaroo’s narrative which draws the reader into the character of the Eurasian woman, submerged with her, until we are also nameless, nationless, simultaneously guilty and innocent, soft and hard, lost and found.
Freedom - Cloaking and ZeroKnowledge
This is an article about Freedom, the beta software from Zero-knowlege, a Canada based firm. The US Justice Department has proposed a bill that would allow police to secretly enter homes and disable security features on computers. This has been one of the driving reasons that thousands of Americans have turned to privacy protection from Zero-Knowledge Systems.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages to privacy protection. This article explains a little about what Freedom is, some of what it does and includes the link to get the Freedom beta.
