| Friday Jun 8, 2001 | Why does anyone use The Weather Channel's
weather.com?
It's annoying for the same reasons as
moviephone,
just not as bad.
Yahoo! has
a much more restrained and useful
weather service
(and better
movie times, too),
but the Weather Underground
is better still.
They seem to actually want to tell you about the
weather, not sell ad space.
They've even kept the old UMich
telnet service
running---no banner ads!
But what do you expect from people
who name themselves after a bunch of
wacko
Communists?

| Saturday May 5, 2001 | I just watched
61*,
a movie about
Roger
Maris'
1961
home run record. It's
good,
but it's on
HBO,
so it's not getting the
usual
endless
promotion.
Of course, I ignored baseball as a kid,
and was annoyed by the
1994 strike,
so
baseball reference sites
are invaluable for catching up.

| Williams,
manufacturer of the best pinball
machines in the '90s,
stopped
about 18 months ago.
Pinball 2000
died before the end of 1999.
Now Williams makes slot machines.
But there's still hope:
Sega sold their pinball division. Now it's
Stern Pinball.
Familiar?
Remember Berzerk?
Same logo, same guys named Stern,
but it's all pinball now.
They've solicited
one of the best designers,
Pat Lawlor,
for an upcoming game.

| Wednesday Apr 14, 1999 | The Hollywood Stock Exchange is dedicated to
the idea that people aren't obsessive enough
about how much money movies make.
It's a stock market where the stocks are movies,
and are valued based on how much money they make
at the box office. Sure, it's nothing like a
real stock market, but it's still fun.
