Are you David Nelson? 'It seems that a glitch in US airport security is causing headaches for men named "David Nelson." For some unknown reason (supposedly if "they" discussed the matter it would breach security) security computers give a "no fly" or "potential terrorist" warning whenever someone named David Nelson attempts to board an airliner. My favorite workaround: (David Nelson) was stopped in February while flying with his family to Florida for a cruise. The airlines solved the problem for the return trip by making a simple name change. Nelson David passed through security without a hitch.' [kuro5hin.org]

Who owns the conversation on my web site? "Back on May 15th, I wrote a 221-word entry on my first impression of The Matrix Reloaded. At last count (mid-afternoonish on June 17th), people have left 700 comments in the thread attached to that entry (7 of which are mine). Those 700 comments comprise a total of ~125,000 words (~180 per entry); that's about 3.3 150-page books." [kottke.org]
