Politics and private life
Google News continues to be a much more interesting online source of world news than my previous standby, CNN. I'm particularly pleased with the number of sources from outside the US that Google News carries.
In case anyone was wondering, the Zoran Zivkovic who was just appointed as the new Serbian Prime Minister is not in fact the same as the Zoran Zivkovic whose speculative fiction has appeared in Interzone and elsewhere, though both ZZs live in Belgrade.
However, the Al Gore who has just been named to the Apple Computer board of directors is in fact the same Al Gore who served as Vice President of the US.
