Yeah, it's hosted on github pages right now, and they don't do SSL. It's one many, many, many things I'd like to fix about Squirt.

"The map is not the territory," kept coming to mind as I read this. To me, this is the difference between having a collection of explicit thoughts about a domain (a mental model), and having a deeply embodied understanding of it, a relation

AFAIK, it's bigger in the UK and Australia than the US. I'm from Portland, currently live in SF, and know of a handful of bars in both cities (also Davis, CA) that do trivia, but not as many as in Sydney, where I studied abroad.

"The function of news is to facilitate smalltalk." I've heard there are studies that confirm this (sorry, no citation handy), and I've also heard it said that Yahoo! Mail's success was due in part to their recognition of this fact. Put news
