inessential: Short Stuff
You may remember the early days of Blogger. Posts didn’t have titles, and they were often quite short — sometimes just a sentence and maybe a link. And these posts appeared on a person’s own blog, which could be hosted anywhere.

Mozilla fixes bugs, improves privacy in latest Firefox release (Naked Security)

Prior to the release of their second post-Daevid Allen album, The Universe Also Collapses, Sean Kitching talks to Dave Sturt and Kavus Torabi of Gong about ten points of entry into a bewilderingly large back catalogue

I love the new album.

The Crimson King Seeks a New Court (Rolling Stone)
Fifty years into his relentlessly innovative career, King Crimson leader Robert Fripp is a godhead in a genre he can’t stand. In a rare interview, he opens up about his global quest to break …

Robert Fripp has been in a talkative mood and this is a great read.
