| Tuesday Jul 1, 2003 | Road cyclists are justifiably famous for their bright, garish team strips (not least in the form of Mario Cipollini's skinsuits). But this is an absolute stonker: the official team kit of Team Carlsbad/Jelly Belly official kit. They're sponsored, as you might expect, by Jelly Belly jelly beans. This is reflected in their team strip - which is, um, pretty striking. to Sports by elder |
| No job? No home? On the streets? Thirsty? Tired of namby-pamby social workers patronising you and insisting that you can't have even a single damn beer while you try and get your life back on track? Beer For the Homeless to the rescue!

| Friday Aug 2, 2002 | Bicycles. Carpooling. Two seemingly contradictory environmentally-friendly commute strategies. OK, maybe you can get two people on a tandem, or even three on a triple tandem. But what if you want to move seven people on the same bicycle? That's where the Conference Bike comes in. Not so much a bicycle built for two, more a tricycle built for seven. Or if you fancy getting romantic with four more friends, try the Lovebike for size. to Transportation by elder |

Obscene t-shirts, for
adults, fine;
but these baby clothes are
slightly worrying. to Fashion by elder |
| Friday Oct 26, 2001 | For $89, you could build a trebuchet that can throw
a golf ball 200 feet. For $400, you
could build an EMP
bomb that can destroy all electronics for several miles.
Decisions, decisions. to Warfare by elder |
| Thursday Mar 29, 2001 | Wanna car? Don't wanna dodgy car? Wanna kit car? More specifically, wanna KITT car?
Now you can have one! to Transportation by elder |
| Thursday Dec 7, 2000 | "Considering the out-and-out sinful nature of the game, features such as gameplay, graphics, etc. are irrelevant. This is not a game for kids, nor is it one for adults. The first epistle of John says that whoever believes in Christ must walk as He did. I am certain the Lord would not touch this game with a forty-foot pole." From the Christian Answers review of Quake 3. It's a game review site with a difference, anyway.

| Thursday Nov 23, 2000 | Goths. Gardening.
Gothic Gardening. Much more interesting than you'd think,
and extremely well-written. Particular favorites are the theme
gardens, especially
The Abortionist's Garden and
The Little Greenhouse of Horrors (although it could do
with more information about carnivorous plants). But c'mon - any gardening site with a page on Gardening for Bats gets my approval. to Culture by elder |
| Friday Nov 10, 2000 | OK, so everyone's claiming to have been reading The Onion "since before everyone
else found out about it". But what about other vegetable-themed web humour sites? Like, say, The
Mushroom, The Kumara, The Zucchini (accessed 29 times
since 02 Nov at time of posting), The Carrot, The Kumquat...
In the less funny and/or clueful stakes, we've got The Turnip, The Potatoe (sic), or even just The Onions.

| Friday Sep 29, 2000 | Forget Nader. Forget Barry. Even forget Duke. S2K chronicles the story of a genuinely independent candidate. Vicious political satire, Satan and well-drawn to boot; nice. to Politics by elder |

| Hey kids! Just left high school? Wondering which institute of higher learning you should attend? Like wearing spandex, going 'grr', and throwing people across a wrestling ring? Then consider attending Ultimate University, the only institute of higher learning that not only teaches you how to conduct a 3-8 minute wrestling bout, but also a 30-second promo spot! Add that to "character/gimmick development" and I'm already filling out the student loan form.

| Monday Sep 11, 2000 | Where mountain biking and unicycling collide: mountain unicycling. Sounds like fun, and it's apparently not as dangerous as you'd think. Of course, if you're lusting after danger, there's always unicycle jousting.

| Thursday Jun 29, 2000 | It's nice to see an online magazine addressing an issue that's been bothering me for quite a while: people getting tattoos they don't understand. Particularly obvious are non-Asian people getting Chinese or Japanese characters tattooed on them without taking the fairly obvious step of finding out exactly what the characters mean. Kudos to Viceland for the article; although the relentless style-poseur chic gets a little old, some of their articles are well worth a read. Especially their guides to giving men and women oral sex.

| Tuesday Jun 6, 2000 | For all you Lord of the Rings pre-production junkies, the New Zealand news site Scoop has a number of leaked shots, including general hobbit homes, Bag End itself, and the town of Bree. to Movies by elder |
| Monday Apr 17, 2000 | The German site Assoziations Blaster now has an English version available. It’s a fascinating experiment in non-linear text linking through a keyword network – the result reads like a combination of Burroughs, Sesame Street and poetry.

| Wednesday Apr 12, 2000 | "With the advent of comprehensive e-commerce solutions, we have been able to demonstrate a distribution system to communities that not only allays fears about criminality, but also guarantees that users can enjoy our products safely and responsibly." Books? CDs? Nope. Dope.
It's iToke. And it's at least quasi legal. to Commerce by elder |
| Wednesday Mar 22, 2000 | Pundits claim that the strength of the ecommerce revolution is the way that it allows small companies to reach the mass market, making niche products more widely available to all. Which, in practical terms, means that you can now buy elephant and giraffe dung or predator urine online. Vive la revolution! to Commerce by elder |
| Monday Mar 13, 2000 | Advantages web commerce has over traditional media: if you sell dog toys, why not include a page where you can hear what the squeaky rubber toys sound like? I'd personally recommend the classic carrot. to Pets by elder |
| Sunday Mar 12, 2000 | Most people, when they're kids, get bought a Venus Flytrap. And most of us promptly kill them. For those of you who want to know what you did wrong, try hitting the Venus Flytrap section of the Carnivorous Plant FAQ. The site also includes instructions on how to grow other varieties of carnivorous plants. Why would you want to grow 'em? Well, apart from a general interest in the whole plants-that-eat-flesh thing, they're just damned beautiful. to Pets by elder |
| Monday Jan 24, 2000 | In honour of Burns Night (Jan 25th - the celebration of the best damn poet in the world) we present the recipe for haggis, the best damn food in the world, and what you're supposed to say to it before you eat it. to Culture by elder |
| Tuesday Jan 18, 2000 | I like having unusual desktops. Recently, I've been rummaging through the Huntingdon Archive of Buddhist and Related Art.
You've got to love people whose mission is to take beautiful things and share 'em with the world. Especially worth a look is From Heaven and Earth: Chinese Jade in Context, which includes basically everything you ever wanted to know about nephrite jade (and breathtaking images). But it's not all ancient jade carvings: Posters of the Cultural Revolution gives examples of classic Maoist propaganda. Titles include
A People's Army Has No Rival, The Liberation of Beiping, and (my current desktop), Let Philosophy Be Transformed into a Sharp Weapon in the Hands of the Masses. to Art by elder |
| In case you were worried that this whole computing thing wasn't, well, macho enough, ManlyWeb comes to the rescue. A Slashdot-style annotated link digest magazine, their idea of masculinity seems to center around concepts such as reviews of power drills, car shows and (token new age bit!) soy beer. to Media by elder |
| Friday Jan 14, 2000 | Bubblegun has some of the best online polls around, not to mention the sheer beauty of Snake City. Excellent in-depth analysis of fin-de-siecle British culture, including retrospectives on alternative comedy (anyone else remember The Young Ones?), Christmas toy shortages, and the Incredible Hulk. to Humor by elder |
| Wednesday Jan 12, 2000 | What this world needs is more foolish large-scale building projects. Such as, for instance, the plan to build a Great Pyramid in Arizona. Or, for a slightly more interactive experience, Lightning on Demand have an alternative plan: a football pitch sized Van der Graaf generator. to Art by elder |
