A lot of folks around the Web have been wondering when I will weigh in on the new Google project, Knol.

Unfortunately, my computer at the university of Virginia has been unwilling to even view either this blog or Sivacracy.net since last week. So I have not been able to post anything during work hours.

Today I am working at home. So I might be able to write and post something. But I am on deadline for some reviews of manuscripts and an article I am writing on privacy.

So if I get that stuff done early today I will return here. Otherwise, it will be tomorrow.
