FEMA to Mac, Linux Users: Drop Dead ★

Boing Boing reports on the FEMA disaster assistance web site, which, unbelievably, only works with one browser: IE 6 for Windows.

Bray on Graham ★

Tim Bray’s thoughtful critique of Paul Graham’s “Inequality and Risk”.

Weblogs Inc. Contract Exposed ★

Wow, $4 per post. This explains why authors at Weblogs Inc. sites tend to post even when they obviously have nothing to post about. Hey, maybe with the new PayPal micropayments system, they could pay their authors on-the-fly.

PayPal Micropayments ★

PayPal is now making it feasible to accept payments of $2 or less. Smart move on their part.

Mint: A Fresh Look at Your Site ★

Shaun Inman’s web stats package, Mint, is now available for $30. Great-looking web site, too. (The demo has been temporarily knocked offline by the first-day crush of onlookers). (Update: Jason Perkins likes it.)
