| Monday Apr 29, 2002 | Government is funny! YourCongress.com is a rich source of information about everything from classic Jim Traficant quotes (the man responsible for the most repetitions of the phrase "beam me up" in Congress) to Congressional haiku. Also notable: rankings of power among the members of Congress.

| Thursday Aug 30, 2001 | Living in the big city can be a bit dangerous. Maybe you'd be better off in a town a little smaller. to Culture by idat |
| Monday Feb 12, 2001 | Occasionally, the things that sound most like urban legends turn out to be true. But I'm not sure I want my coffee predigested, even by cute weasel-like critters. to Coffee by idat |
| Friday Jan 5, 2001 | If what you really want to do is direct, you can make your very own Flash movie at DFILM. Or, at the Swedish site Fjällfil, make a music video...with a cow. to Art by idat |
| Wednesday Dec 6, 2000 | Carvin Rinehart's luminous photographs are modern interpretations of timeless subjects, such as St. Lucy, the Death of Hyacinth, the dying of the Oak King, and various tarot cards. to Art by idat |
| Monday Dec 4, 2000 | Everybody loves Christmas trees, right? Some people make unusual
Christmas tree decorations.
Some people make Christmas trees out of unusual substances.
But if you have no tree, what can you do? Well, if you have an old green
couch and a little spare time, you can make a Christmas couch.

| Monday Jul 17, 2000 | Shannon Kringen, aka Goddess Kring, is something of a Seattle celebrity...in her own mind, at least. She has her own public access show, which is pretty nifty if you're stoned and pretty bizarre if you're not. And, of course, there are naked pictures... and a Web journal. to Wackos by idat |
| Monday Jun 5, 2000 | Do you consistently experience letters as certain colors, or certian textures or tastes? You may have synesthesia, which basically means the blending of two or more senses. People with synesthesia generally have it from childhood on, tend to be highly intelligent and artistic, and most of them experience synesthesia as pefectly normal.

| Wednesday May 3, 2000 | Think math is hard? Try spelling. There are groups out there who are crusading to simplify English spelling, arguing that a thousand years of language change (not to mention a significant vowel shift) has caused English orthography to fail at its mission: representing sounds. Hidden in the spelling brouhaha is another potentially brilliant idea: a simplified version of English that can be used as an international language, much like Esperanto but with a built-in user base. Too bad it never caught on. to Linguistics by idat |
| There are some sites that just reek of testosterone. US Cavalry is one of them. It's got everything from highly cool high-intensity lightsticks (perfect for the raver kid in your life!) to tools for the paranoid (how about a stun gun for the person afraid to walk alone?)
to big swords for people who like that sort of thing. On my birthday list is the Safari Vest and the Range Bag--perfect for the geek with a lot of stuff. No flowers or hearts here, no siree.

| Monday May 1, 2000 | So what, exactly, does it cost to live on Manhattan's tony Upper East Side? Keeping up with the neighbors is expensive. And if you're rich enough to live like that, your will might end up for sale on Wills of the Rich and Famous. to Culture by idat |
