Random things on the Internet (Issue 2)

An Essay on Criticism II, by Alexander Pope er, Geoff Nunberg; being a lamentation on the state of the language.

Inaugural Embedding, some notes on the language of the state. (And similar.)

Neon Genesis Evangelion: Gakuen Datenroku. Apparently Gainax has been reduced to selling alternate-universe doujinshi. (I just might get the first volume anyway; it sounds at least vaguely interesting, and I could use the practice.)

...of course, they do sell stranger things.

An advertisement-video for a Twitter application on the iPhone. It should be noted that I care nothing for the iPhone, and indeed have nothing but antipathy towards Twitter: I just want to know what that music in the background is. It sounds familiar — I could swear I'd heard it in a PC game of ages past, or possibly as a .MOD file, but I can't place it.

One of the worst puns ever to grace RPG.net (and I can assure you that that's saying something.)

A music video for a popular-ish song. Not even a fan-creation — the author's original. I mention it only because it (the video) is clever, and because the melody has been running through my head off and on for the past week.
