sterling on spam

This is wonderful. From Bruce Sterling:

Spam is now forced to mutter eerie magic charms as it routes its way past the growing host
of armed spam guards to my mailbox. ‘No, no kill me,
I am not spaaaaam… Would spam speak of
“Orinoco Apocrypha”? Would mere spam muse
on “brutal Prussia,” “discernable Petersburg”
and an “Acapulco assault”? I do these cultured,
verbally elaborate things in my “Pillsbury showboat,”
and hence I cannot be spam! Let me through with my
“hierarchic bronchiole”, do not extinguish me o router and repeater!’

new courseware templates

Templates and instructions have been posted.

A number of people have mentioned interest in my revised MT course templates, so here they are. (It’s a zipped archive.)

I’m working on some detailed documentation to accompany them, which I expect to post tomorrow or Wednesday.
