| Monday Aug 28, 2000 | When I was a high schooler and I wanted to go somewhere without my parents knowing, I would "spend the night at a friends house." If they called I would, of course, be busy. Now, instead of hitting up friends for this service, I can hire either the Ace Alibi Agency ("provide-protect-preserve") or the more straightforward Alibi Agency. Need to attend a "corporate event" in Florida? They can print properly postmarked flyers, brochures, and invitations. Need to be in Wales for the week? A telephone operator with a Welsh accent can be provided. Both are now extending services to the USA. to Culture by reid |
| Friday Aug 25, 2000 | For a mere $78 million you too can own your own 200 foot luxury submarine. Where might you go with that you say? Besides the obvious great barrier reef, you could spend a few nights at an underwater hotel. The Jules underwater lodge offers rooms for $250-$350 a night and is located just off of Key West. Remember, check out is at 11 am.

| Thursday May 25, 2000 | Ah, the potato... such a humble little tuber. So many uses -- food, alcohol, clock, museum piece, projectile, and almost a web server (too bad it's a hoax.)

| Thursday May 4, 2000 | The Hunger Site, the site that donates food to a starving person with each click-through, now has a sister site, The Rain Forest Site. Each click-through donates 19.2 square feet. Too bad you are limited to donating once a day.

| Friday Apr 28, 2000 | Eat dangerously is what you get when you cross a Julia Child-esque zest for food with the irreverent writing of Maxim magazine. There's much to do, such as learning how to properly cook (torture) your lobster, or experiencing the sensuality of fondling fresh raw squid. My favorite recipe thought has to be the turkey from hell. to Food by reid |
| Monday Apr 17, 2000 | While not as versitile as Duct Tape, Cable Ties still deserve there own fan page. There is, of course, a searchable database of 1001 uses for cable ties, a few nice pictures, and (for the truely dedicated) a cable tie sounds page. Go out and get some now! to Gadgets by reid |

| Imagine my surprise when I found that Memepool didn't have the Bill Gates wealth clock archived. It now comes in an international flavor, and with the enlightening commentary "Why Bill Gates is richer than you", an "How to become as rich as Bill Gates."

Too few people today remember R. Buckminster Fuller, the inventor that buckeyballs and buckeytubes are named after. He created the world's best map, the still amazing Dymaxion car, a shower that used 1 cup of water, coined the term "spaceship earth" and founded the World Game Institute. Lets not forget space ship earth err.. the geodesic dome, either.

I find it highly suspicious though that our friends at Orkin keep a recipe page...

| Saturday Jan 22, 2000 | I stumbled upon the Adult Video Network site while in search of this years best adult film. Home to the Adult Video New magazine, I expected industry gossip, timely stock info, breaking news, and video reviews. But video card reviews?

| Friday Jan 21, 2000 | Even though Hello Cthulhu will be taking a vacation from the web, it pleases me to no end that I can still buy Hello Cthulhu merchandise online. I wonder if they'll take my Campus Crusade for Cthulhu discount? to Conspiracy by reid |
| Tuesday Jan 18, 2000 | Need to find the lat/long confluence nearest you? Try topozone, the mapblast for serious cartographers. While you're looking for that big intersection near you, try joining the degree confluence project an effort to photograph all of the "latitude and longitude integer degree intersections" in the world.
Oceans excluded of course. to Cartography by reid |
