| Wednesday Jan 8, 2003 | There is here! There is the result of four years of top secret development and is the latest incarnation of a pervasive cyberspace. Although superficially reminiscent of first-person shooters, fantasy role-playing games, and multi-player dollhouses, There follows a trail blazed by such efforts as Lucasfilms Habitat and Electric Communities The Palace to create immersive social realms online.

| Thursday May 2, 2002 | Masterfully combining Domokun, a Japanese oddity, with Steve Ballmer, an American oddity, results in the mind-boggling funny work of a Hivehaus and Echo23 collaboration: Domopers. Clearly, the next step has to involve Domokun and a Chris Cunningham-style Aphex Twin Windowlicker video montage.

| Wednesday Dec 12, 2001 | Russell Crowe and Ron Howard's upcoming film A Beautiful Mind is based on the book of same name, a story about mathematician John Nash: Nobel Laureate, father of modern economics, and a demigod (along with John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern, John Harsanyi, and Reinhard Selten) of game theory. You can read Nash's autobiographical sketch from the 1994 Nobel Prize to get some additional insight into his life beyond what's portrayed in the movie. to Mathematics by dnm |

| Wednesday May 23, 2001 | Danger Research, Inc. has one of the more amusing rotating Flash entry animations I've seen (keep clicking "Back" to go through the set). They're also developing some super-secret wireless communications technology. What is known is that one of their firmware people used to work at Be and is one of the main contributors to OpenBLT, a great research operating system. He seems to be somewhat tired of the glitz, though. to Web by dnm |

| Tuesday Dec 19, 2000 | Much like the "Got Milk?" ad craze influenced many copy cats, some funny, some not, the MasterCard approach has caught on, and in the light of recent US political events, can portray different points of view very effectively. to Commentary by dnm |

| Friday Sep 1, 2000 | One of the incipient worries of the next few years may very well be "which peer-to-peer file sharing scheme will suck least?" Assuming this is no more than a flash in a pan, we already have Napster, Gnutella, Freenet, MojoNation, Scour, and openCOLA. And looming on the horizon are similar, yet expanded ideas embodied by companies such as Centrata, Lightshare, Apple Soup Popular Power, Aimster, WorldOS, DCypher, Distributed.Net, and others. Toolkits to grow your own distributed computing system such as Cosm are in heavy development and look promising. The recent explosion of peer-to-peer popularity among the computer using masses, combined with recent successes in distributed computing all seems very keen, yet, has anyone said these kids will all play nice with each other? And everyone seems in on the fun now, even Intel. Will the endgame of this revolution be the fracturing of an otherwise whole Internet? to Internet by dnm |
| Saturday Aug 26, 2000 | I'm not sure this is exactly orthodox, or necessarily a good thing, but if this doesn't harken both to the terrible results job sites must be producing and the how "the street finds it's own use for things" then what exactly does? to Culture by dnm |

| Friday Jan 14, 2000 | The future of the Internet and computing may be more ubiquitous and less novel yet, if Michael L. Dertouzos, director of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and his compatriots' visionary project, Oxygen, turns out to work. Encompassing a plethora of fields such as chip design, user interface engineering, network infrastructure, and social impact, it may very well become as natural as the air we breathe. to Computing by dnm |

| For years, one of the favorite tools (aside from rm -rf /usr/home/luser) of any true BOFH was and is grep. Perfect for scanning mailboxes, looking through files in /tmp for juicy phrases, what have you.
