  <description><![CDATA[  The last time I went to Thailand, I did something daring. No, not eating ants, boxing with ladyboys, or getting cheap plastic surgery. I went without a guidebook. No Lonely Planet, no Rough guide, not even a skimpy Fodor's or Let's Go. Instead, I trusted my fate to the World Wide Web. The result was very nearly a disaster.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2163727/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <title>A fake record label shows the way for online fiction.</title>

  <description><![CDATA[  Why hasn't anyone figured out how to use the Web to tell a story? Hypertext, with its built-in cross-references and interactivity, was supposed to change how we read and write fiction. After that hype faded years ago, online narrative pretty much stagnated. It's not that Web-based fiction doesn't present opportunities for astounding creativity. For one, the kind of density you can pack into a Web site—layers upon layers of HTML pages, photos, sound and video clips, and downloadable files—can't be matched on the printed page. And the do-it-yourself production tools just keep getting better.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2104510/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  When Mike Kuniavsky bought the Internet domain tired.com from a friend in November 1997, he wasn't planning to set up an anonymous confessional. He wasn't planning anything at all. At the time, Mike and I were both Web workers developing sites for the company that owned Wired magazine. "Tired" puns about Wired were de rigueur, so Mike grabbed tired.com for laughs.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2103823/?from=rss">more ...</a>]<!--AD BEGIN--><br clear="all" /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=8361" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=8361" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Barry Bonds has always feuded with sportswriters, and these days he finds himself snared in a steroid scandal. What's a besieged jock to do? Start a Weblog! Here's Barry's April 30 post on BarryBonds.com, after he passed Willie Mays' mark of 660 home runs: "I notice that everyone wants to know when the 660 memorabilia items will be available. They'll be available in 7 to 10 days. … I'm also working to set up the first signing with Willie. Having him involved makes the 660 memorabilia special to me :-)." Those of us who thought Barry was just a greedy, ball-crushing monster were wrong. He's a greedy, ball-crushing monster who uses emoticons.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2100237/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>
