ok another example, this one the notes for
applefritter.com/bannedbooks re Hacking Amazon Wishlists to Find Subversives
that itself interests me just a little (~ which books are 'dangerous' - subversive)
but I am ALL up into the notes

2900 words showing how easy it is to make a Google map of everyone that has, say, Orwell's "1984" on their Amazon wishlist. (30 hours.) - kragen
so I like the 'say' in this note. but also what is the parenthetical about hours? is that going to be on all his (or her, or her) bookmarks, like maybe these are for work and being logged? and no, the other bookmarks do not specify an hour amount *but* do all start with word count.

and, ok, yes, I find that the hour reference has meaning within the article (about hacking amazon wishlists): "Not a penny was spent in the writing of this article, just 30 hours of time." so that's 'how easy it is to make a Google map of everyone who has, say, Orwell's...
