The confessions of a semi-successful author. I've published several books, won adoring reviews, and even sold a few copies. But I've made almost no money and had my heart broken. Here's everything you don't want to know about how publishing really works.

Ask the pilot. Still ignoring those flight-attendant safety lectures? The pilot is displeased, and presents a refresher course in awful airplane crashes, in the water and on the land.

Habbohotel featured by T-Online
The german telecom company T-Online is featuring the multi-user environment Habbohotel. This may (or may not...) boost the acceptance of the Shockwave Player. Funnily enough, the new version of the Shockwave Player is missing the Multiuser Server Xtra which is needed for the hotel, if i am not mistaken...
UPDATE: i am mistaken, the Shockwave 10 Beta still comes with the MUS Xtra. Thanks to Martin Seiler for notifying me.

bush blunder.  Big George W. blunder on the news here last night. The Dutch prime minister visited the oval office yesterday. The press was positioned on the inside as Jan-Peter Balkenende knocked on the other side. In the footage show last night (watch it here) Bush is heard asking an off-camera aid: "Who?, well write his name down, I can't remember all that...hey! [door opens] John Peter! Glad you're here!" Great foreign relations move.

The great escape. Immediately after 9/11, dozens of Saudi royals and members of the bin Laden family fled the U.S. in a secret airlift authorized by the Bush White House. One passenger was an alleged al-Qaida go-between, who may have known about the terror attacks in advance. Our first excerpt from "House of Bush, House of Saud."

I knew he had been missing since Jan 11, and I knew he had been found dead, but this is the first time I've written about Spalding Gray's disappearance and death. Like others I've been strangely affected by this.
I never saw him live, although my brother John did at an Adelaide Festival of the Arts, where he performed Swimming to Cambodia. I did see some televised monologues; I hope I still have one performance on tape.
There is an awful lot of unrealised genius in the world.

AIDS: The black plague. Jacob Levenson talks about his new book, "The Secret Epidemic," which reveals a truth America has refused to confront.
For those who don't know, the secret to reading Salon articles is to look down at the bottom right of the page, where you see a grey button to give you a free day pass. Clicking it, you then watch a short ad and can view Salon articles for the rest of the day.
