There is no paradigm for this kind of place. Accidental Norbiton is contingent, marginal, superfluous, an ugly necessity; it is like the wires coiled under your desk, behind your bookcases; it is like the suitcases gathering dust under your bed, on top of your wardrobe; an adjunct to living, part of the logistics, the bureaucracy, never what you might call life itself, the movement and centre and focus of which seem to prevail elsewhere.
Perfect, then, for a life of accidental failure.
Welcome to Norbiton.

In an age of information wealth, how do we decide what's true & what's not? Allow me to introduce the world of discussion mapping. First up we have
zest (
demo here), a simple tool for threading mailing lists for easier navigation. It lacks the advanced features of the others but it's an easy starting point for structuring your discussions.

Some of the things you can find at Jan Geerinck's
Jahsonic.com: A history of
disco,
"black music",
punk, and
other genres; extensive writes-ups on
media,
erotica,
art,
history, and cinema (broken down into
voyeurism,
gay,
world,
Japanese,
postmodern,
underground,
European, and
trash cinema, among
others); and of course,
a blog. Also interesting are the keyword entries for words such as
genre,
sex,
drugs,
fiction,
cult,
taste, etc.
Pretty SFW, but there may be a few film stills or paintings that are iffy.
