Admit it. You used to play Dungeons & Dragons, and your mom threw out all your cool rulebooks when you went to college. Maybe you bought the fancy new third edition rules recently, but it just isn't the same. Fortunately for you, Wizards of the Coast is releasing all of the classic rulebooks and adventures online, many of them for free. Now you don't have to hang around flea markets to pick up what Mom threw away.

You've heard of math rock, but how about high energy physics rock? Les Horribles Cernettes claim to be the one and only high energy rock band, loved by tens of thousands of high energy physicists worldwide. They can't be too bad; after all, they even have a fan club.

Some things just naturally go together, like peanut butter and chocolate, eggs and bacon, Sonny and Cher, and Battlestar Galactica and the Republican Party.

Are you outraged that our country is sliding into moral decay? Get out your big black hat and belt buckle, join the Puritan Party, and help bring back the long lost art of witchburning.

Sick of the Democrats and the Republicans? Maybe you'd like to try the Pansexual Peace Party, which wants to promote positive political progress and the partnership paradigm through prurient propaganda, and perhaps also pick a peck of pickled peppers.

Hideously overpackaged media monstrosity or clever little Letterman prank? I don't know about these things. All I know is that you've gotta be fresh to fresh with the Fresh, er, what was it again?

Remember internet cafes? Sure, they were big for a while, but there was just something missing from the "browse the web while sipping latte" business plan. Clearly, the wave of the future is the internet steakhouse.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but the CMU NASD project has released the source code to their network-attached secure disk prototype. Now you too can pretend that your computer is really an intelligent disk drive attached directly and securely to the network, without any pesky general-purpose machines in the way.

Sick of how email gets your messages to their desired recipients quickly and for free? Well, UPS has a solution for your problems. Remember, it's more expensive than email, so it must be better.

Ever wondered why there wasn't some sort of real-life Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? Well, now there is. Sure, it's probably a cheesy marketing gimmick, but at least it's kinda cute. And hey, you can learn all about valuable things like moustaches and bra burning.

Are you puzzled by all the complicated male-oriented Y2K survival guides out there? Do you believe that women need an explanation that stays away from confusing, hard-to-understand things like technology, and focuses on emotions and the family? If so, Y2K for Women should be nice and comforting.

So you're the new CEO of a hot young online commerce company. Your IPO's coming up soon. What do you wish for? Loyal customers, rave reviews, piles of money? Well, how about boycotts, class action lawsuits, and a webring devoted to sites that hate you?
