Clay Shirky has a great piece about ontologies, categorization, and how they don't really make sense for most of the Web today: Ontology is Overrated
Paul Graham's new essay tries to make some sense of everyone's favorite buzzword: Web 2.0

Utter Insanity
Video of Dan Osman speed-soloing up Bear's Reach at Lover's Leap (near South Lake Tahoe, CA). Need I say don't try this at home? http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/1220/
(I've done this route, but it took me more like 2 hours--not 4 minutes and 25 seconds.)
I'm not sure when this video was shot, but I think it was not long before his death on November 23, 1998. He was always a huge risk-taker, and one of his hobbies was taking very long falls on climbing ropes. He died attempting a 925-foot fall on rigging that he had left up in Yosemite in the rain and snow for over a month. Pretty stupid.
Here's a good article about Dan:
