Common Census is a novel attempt to show the relationships Americans share geoculturally, rather than geopolitically. While not the only visual aggregation out there, it may provide effective weaponry against the dark political art of gerrymandering.

You have ASCII Porn. There is ASCII Quake, ASCII Matrix, and ASCII Star Wars. But personally, ASCII Rock just goes too far.

Kartoo is a relational search engine interface. Instead of displaying a list of links, in ranked order, it displays the results of a given search in a graphical, networked format. Nodes are linked to each other by common terms, which you can add and remove to further restrict the search graphically. The links between the nodes are color coded, allowing you to, with minimal effort, see how terms relate different sites, and nodes are displayed by size, according to relevance to the search term.

It's all about Sausage By Mail. Please do not forget your etiquette, either. (You know, the scary thing is, they have a photo gallery, too.)

Dancing, in its many forms, is a very natural thing. But someone always has to take it too far: Dancing with cats and dancing with dogs.

The National Transportation Safety Board maintains an excellent database of aviation accident synopses, containing everything from simple errors to deadly mistakes.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger, one of America's greater media accomplishments, has one of the most aesthetically displeasing sites. Almost as appetizing as her delectable social commentary!

Graspable User Interfaces is an interesting idea -- using physical objects and artifacts to manipulate virtual objects via a sensitive desktop.

It's amazing the big-ticket goods that can change hands. For example, I found Executive Controller -- a company that brokers the sale of most any sort of aircraft. For instance, you too can own a 777, or pick up a 747 for those times when you need all the extra legroom. You could settle for a 727, and spend the extra cash on destroying another generation.

Let's see. I get rewarded with free beer when I do something right, and Steve Jobs gets this. I need a conglomerate to lead.

Crypto-gram is a security based news and commentary newsletter published by Bruce Schneier, author of Applied Crypography and the Electronic Privacy Papers, and founder of Counterpane Internet Security. With his excellent, well argued commentary, and his panache for hitting a softspot in the security community, it's a must read for all.

The AOPA is one of the most recognized pilot associations. With it's great resources on learning to fly, honing your skills, and learning to deal with emergencies, it's web site is almost as indespensable as it's great services.

Airliners.net has a great repository of aircraft / airline pictures. With pictures of 747's landing at dusk, to a Cessna 172 that forgot how to use it's nose gear, you can find almost any plane, from any airline.

While searching for sites that sell/broker used Cessna 172's, I came across this site -- every capitalist pigs dream. From currencies and cigarettes to oil refineries built-to-spec you can build yourself a conglomerate in a matter of days!

Hiking, being one of my vices, lures me to all sorts of great places, like MATC, the Maine Appalachian Trail Club, the Appalachian Trail Confrence, Appalachian Mountain Club, Lightning Bolt, and GORP. Since I plan on hiking the entire Appalachian Trail (AT) in the next couple years, I oft spend too much time at Trailplace, home of the Appalachian Thru-hiker. After I drool over the beauty of the AT, I end up at McHale and Company, drooling over the Alpineer packs. Oh wait, I can't forget the boots!

I've used IRC for almost 5 years now, and this page just proves my point a little more: IRC doesn't get you laid.

The US Department of Commerce, a wide reaching governing and regulatory body, mandates the airwaves here in the US through the FCC and the NTIA. The NTIA manages allocation of the spectrum, and publishes a spectrum chart that contains more information that I ever needed. Interestingly enough, the NTIA is also has some very interesting information on online profiling, domain management, and the growing divide in those who cannot access the internet.

I'd like to thank the MBA's over at the US Department of Justice for whipping up this little page, to help brainwash our youth while they are still prime. Not to mention, we need to make sure they know the rules of the road.

While mining through US Presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's site, I found this tidbit - which left me on the floor laughing. It still proves that 90% of all US politicians are dumb.

I'm a driver, I put almost 1500 miles a week on my car. I speed, too. But, I have someone on my side - the National Motorists Association. Don't take a traffic violation laying down, again!

I'll admit it - I'm a masshole. I'm a better driver than you, my sports teams are better than yours, and we speak better than you.

Once in a while, a random question sends me on a quest. Today, it was "Is there a boxers versus briefs FAQ?". In search for such a grail, I was able to find a NPR story on the effects of wearing boxers and briefs on your sperm production / scrotal temperature. Once you've listened to that, tell the rest of the world what you prefer, and play a disturbing game from our friends at BVD.

School violence has been the media's favorite topic of the moment, and it has raised a lot of issues. Many were profiled in Slashdot's Voices from the Hell Mouth, and now the U.S. Department of Justice, along with the U.S. Department of Education, have stepped in, with a well written, and hopefully, guiding document for schools. But one question: Would you trust your school nurse?

When it comes to sports, there is none better than Paintball. With sites like WARPIG to keep me up to date, and plenty of places like Ravi Chopra's to show me that I haven't spent enough money, and The Physics of Paintball to show me I still don't know enough.

Censorware is a big debate today, with libraires and schools installing it on every machine they have. But thankfully, folks like Peacefire, Censorware.org and IANS are helping the censored find the content they seek.
