Universe of Discourse - Tools

I've been reading Mark-Jason Dominus's blog The Universe of Discourse since dougo pointed it out a few weeks ago. The length and research involved in his essays is pretty amazing. I thought the recent one regarding Forbes' list of the Top 20 tools of all-time particularly interesting and completely agree that missing the Hammer, Rope and portable container (Bag or Basket) was a massive oversight in an otherwise pretty good list and that having things like the Level ahead of these is just crazy.

In the "Its a small world after all" category, I've known about mjd's general plover.com site for ages since he was another of the very early people heavily involved in the web. I also visited his house a couple of times about 15 years ago to play Cosmic Encounter (Mayfair version) not long after I first learned it from Sharon Jackson while we were both at Penn.
