Unhappy Mac
...is a weblog about the liberal arts 2.0 edited by Jason Kottke since March 1998 (archives). You can read about me and kottke.org here. If you've got questions, concerns, or interesting links, send them along.
From the Effects Measure blog:
Influenza is a virus full of mystery and surprises. The more we study it the more complicated it becomes. Remember the adage: "If you've seen one flu pandemic, you've seen one flu pandemic."
This reminds me of the first line of Anna Karenina:
Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

I feel like I've pointed to this before, but in case I haven't, here's a list of the 100 best first lines from novels. I'm partial to those of Pride and Prejudice, Lolita, and Anna Karenina.
The best way to get a sense of what kottke.org is all about is to head to the front page or check out some random entries from the archives.
