Today is Thomas Jefferson's birthday (he's only 260 years young!). Thanks to Claire Wolfe I just found a page that proclaims old TJ as the patron saint of the Internet. I'll go along with that (despite how far wrong the patent system has gone -- I don't think we can blame TJ for that).
A while back I was wont to offer regular quotes from Victor Hugo. I think perhaps I'll start doing that with Thomas Jefferson. We sure could use his wisdom these days...
