- Finally built my little electro synth kit today.

- As I believe it has some discussion on social movement theory.
- Also led me to discover New Books in Critical Theory.
- Well-connected.
- Snow. Lots of snow.
- I fixed a long-standing bug on my site where backlinks often didn’t work.
- I also fixed up the backlinks section for each node to only include backlinking nodes once.
- Social movement theory.
- I saw Gordon Brander has a list of well-connected nodes in his pattern library.
- I like the idea. Stats relating to links and connections feels more in line with a relational ontology than just having counts of nodes, etc.
- So I’ve been looking at adding a list of nodes in my garden that are well-connected.
- I’d like to know why the outputs of my little bits of executable code blocks aren’t getting correctly generated when my garden gets published to the web.
