Scribeling (thing) by ushdfgakjasgh

Scribeling

Scribeling is a user-generated translation tool, currently under development by myself. It will function as a web application, into which users can enter words and short phrases, unidirectional translations of words and phrases, and, for more experienced linguists familiar with the function of the translation engine, abstract descriptions of corresponding syntactical structures between languages. All of the data created by this project will be freely available under a...


Alan Ladd (person) by Dreamvirus
"I never fail to feel let down when I see myself on the screen."
Alan Ladd

Alan Walbridge Ladd, an actor best known for his starring role in one of the Western genre's most beloved movies, Shane, was born in 1913 in Hot Springs, Arkansas, a spa town full of tourists, whose most famous ex-resident these days is former US President Bill Clinton.

All her life, she'd imagined that to be an exaggeration. 'It took my breath away', people would say to her, and she'd nod in response. Up until now it had meant...


Why I love Everything2 (log) by Heisenberg
It's easy to fall in love with E2.

From my point of view, there are two main reasons for this:

1. The quality of the content.
You can spend hours trailing the softlinks, following somebody's train of thought and miraculously hopping from one excellent, irreverent or touching node to the other. The diversity of the writings is mindboggling, so boredom is out of the question. Here you will find poetry, prose, sci-fi, facts, fiction, diary entries, drivel. Indeed...


Are you hoping for a miracle? (review) by XWiz

The miraculous is all around us.

23rd July, 2008: Birnin Kebbi, whilst consuming fried beef, spots the name of Allah inscribed in the unpalatable curves of a piece of gristle. The restaurateur, upon further searching, discovers three more pieces of similar meat, each containing the holy message. A vet explains that the appearance defies scientific explanation, while visiting Islamic scholars claim 'it was a sign to show that Islam is the only true religion for...
