Watch the memes go two by two

Those connections blogs I wished for? Found one. Game designer, epistemologist and all-around shmottguy Charles Cameron has created DoubleQuotes, a weblog of quotations paired with other quotations, lately with commentary. As Cameron puts it, these are “thoughts dropped into the mind-pond, not so much for their own sakes as for their concentric ripples and the interference patterns between them.” So far, they reflect concern with the Middle East, as well as war in general and its curious confluence with games.
It has a couple of problems, first and foremost its un-copy-and-pasteable, un-Googleable, un-scalable, anti-blog-ethic image format. Stop that, Charles. Seriously. I’ll write up some styles for you if it absolutely has to look like that. Secondly, the whole “bead” thing seems a little confusing… until you read this and this (both Cameron’s work). But you should read those anyway.
