Book of Amusement is just the sort of archaic, dangerous book I used to prowl
libraries for as a kid. It's crammed with highly inadvisable science projects
such as an artificial volcano that's arguably not artificial at all. It is amusingly described by the father
of a young man who received this book as a gift from Michael Faraday.

cool applet
that saves you a year of time-lapse photography, or at least a lot of convoluted mathematics, per
graph. to Science by obvious |
| Tuesday Nov 27, 2001 | Dictionaraoke is not one of those "wish i'd thought of that" ideas, but it's good for some laughs. I enjoyed the infinitely less angry cover of the Sex Pistols' seminal Anarchy In The UK. to Music by obvious |

| Tuesday Oct 10, 2000 | Go is a really interesting 4,000 year old chinese
board game, but it can be puzzling to beginners. However, if you have a win32 box handy,
there is a free version of the excellent Many Faces of Go software that contains
a great interactive version of the "The Way to Go" tutorial.
If you get good and start beating the computer opponent too easily, take on human opponents
in realtime via the Internet Go Server.

| Sunday Sep 24, 2000 | The Indrema L600 is an upcoming gaming console with a 100 megabit ethernet port, HDTV outputs, large hard drive, built-in dvd player, mp3 storage/playback system and lots of other nice things. Oh, and it's powered by Linux and will feature open source APIs, so it's possible we'll end up with a culture of freelance developers on the platform. to Games by obvious |

| Friday Jul 21, 2000 | Good tequila is very good indeed.
I like using Patrón Anejo in margaritas, despite all the people
who scream that margaritas are a waste of 100% agave tequila.
When it's time for straight tequila sipping I turn to the astounding
Jose Cuervo Reserva de la Familia
which might surprise you, considering how undrinkable Cuervo Gold really is.

| Friday May 26, 2000 | Mosquito Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico is known as the World's Brightest Bioluminescent Bay. The eerie light is due to the presence of Pyrodinium bahamense, a type of plankton known as a dinoflagellate. Once you check out these nifty long-exposure photos, you might be tempted to grow them at home. to Science by obvious |
| Friday May 5, 2000 | Worst of the Worst at mp3.com has pointers to some hilariously bad tracks. I suggest starting with 'Funky Mystery' and then getting your nerve up before trying 'The Ten Commandments' The hate mail from the artists being ridiculed is also worth reading. to Music by obvious |

| Friday Feb 4, 2000 | The Proxomitron is a nice little web proxy for Windows that allows you to sanitize your browsing experience in myriad ways. Kills banner ads, popups, animated gifs, etc via a nifty rules-based interface. Also allows manipulation of headers and cookies on the fly. Great stuff, but you'll wish you were colorblind when you see the garish UI. to Web by obvious |
