Bestsellers
I was amazed that Bill Clinton's upcoming book holds 3 of the top 100 positions (Hardcover, Large Print, and Abridged editions) on the Amazon.com bestseller list, but I find it really remarkable that Where Is Baby's Belly Button is currently #67 on Amazon's Top 100.

Negative Acknowlegement
I ran into Negative Acknowlegement, a blog with no name or email attached to it, but it seems to belong to a Perl programmer who's interested in Lisp. He (I assume) asks Why are there no good Lisp IDEs?. I think Allegro is pretty good, but he asks specifically about recreating the environment on the old Lisp machines. It seems like I remember reading about an effort like this, but I can't remember where. FWIW, I think PLT is a very nice IDE, though that's Scheme, not CL.

I'm glad you pointed out that the lack of an email address on my blog. I'm certain I *had* it up there originally, but I seem to have accidentally removed it while editing my HTML templates. Should be fixed now. Thanks!
I actually forgot that Allegro has an IDE. I'd looked into Allegro once, but their IDE is Windows only and I mostly use OSX and Linux. So I passed it by and tried adjusting to Emacs. By the time I'd decided that I still don't like Emacs I had forgotten about Allegro's IDE.
Maybe I'll fire up my old Win2k box and try Allegro out again sometime.
In the mean time, I've been quite impressed with PLT Scheme.
