| Thursday May 9, 2002 | HubbleSite has information and some stunning pictures from everyone's favorite (formerly a bit near-sighted) space telescope. The wallpapers alone are worth the visit, and the pages on inner workings of the telescope are particularly interesting. to Science by wwwwolf |
| Thursday Feb 14, 2002 | Many Finnish children's programs get dubbed for export.
Most of the dubs are good, but some are
not so good,
particularly those from a company called
"Agapio
Racing Team".
Here's some
serious evidence
why some movies and TV programs should not get dubbed.

| Wednesday Dec 5, 2001 | Sometimes, musicians want to make computer games (or cheap facsimiles of thereof) about their music; Sometimes they make music videos that look somewhat like video games. But (aside of professional game musicians, of course), few make "videogame-like music" that would go to market - especially if it's not connected to any particular game. Jukka Tarkiainen, a Finnish electronic musician, has now released his first CD - and couple of the tracks are also available for download. He even has a hilarious music video that is very videogame-like in spite of being mostly live-action... to Music by wwwwolf |
| Friday Aug 31, 2001 | There have been various efforts to modernize the games of the Ultima game series, or to make them run on modern machines. The latest, and admittedly pretty nice-looking reworking of these classics is Ultima IV: The Dawn of Virtue, which based on screenshots looks like sort of cross-breed of Ultima IV and Baldur's Gate, made by the same guy who made Falcon's Eye graphics patch for Nethack. to Games by wwwwolf |
| Sunday Aug 12, 2001 | You may remember that by downloading MP3s, you're downloading communism. But now that Napster has "sold out", if you pay for your mp3s, you're rockin' out with The Man! (By the way, if you think that this sort of propaganda only works in parodies, think again...) to Music by wwwwolf |
| Friday Jun 8, 2001 | MMF Hall of Humiliation, the site the "Internet Multi Level Marketing Entrepreneurs" hate, has returned the network after two years of cobwebs! I hope to see more chain letter spammer ridiculing and related poetry from now on... to Internet by wwwwolf |
| Friday Jun 1, 2001 | Star Wreck by Samuli Torssonen is what I would call a truly dedicated Star Trek parody. It started from bad computer animations, then moved to semi-decent 3D stuff and finally to the realm of live action and rather cool 3D stuff, with a full length DVD release expected later this year... to Movies by wwwwolf |
| Monday Mar 12, 2001 | Back before the Internet revolutionarized the distribution of pr0n, people made naughty games and demos for Commodore 64... but I will always remember the Leather Goddesses of Phobos.

| Thursday Feb 22, 2001 | After some moments of confusion,
Zany Video Game Quotes has returned the network. It has a lot of new quotes,
golden
classics,
and naturally the stuff you're probably sick of hearing by now. to Games by wwwwolf |
| Tuesday Jan 16, 2001 | An interesting application of
steganography: SpamMimic turns the
super-secret messages into something that looks like
spam.

| Wednesday Oct 25, 2000 | Arrgh. Now that The Wave is out, I feel I've found the coolest web platform ever devised - my very own Commodore 64! Sadly, I can't afford an afterburner or a cool GUI right now, both of which are required...

to the obvious connection between
Microsoft and
The Illuminati...
Figures!

| Wednesday Sep 27, 2000 | Suffering from an
overdose of
popular net games? Try
text
adventures via applets. (But then again,
MUDs are more fun when
you're online).
Or try Slashdot Quest -
Just to show that one doesn't need clumsy stuff like
Java, Flash or even CGI to make or play cool web games.

| Saturday Sep 2, 2000 | I thought the fundamentalist Christian
assault against D&D
had died down (after several miserable failures to prove their point), but apparently
they can't stop making "well-researched" articles. In related news, Jack T. Chick
has finally published
his viewpoint on this issue.

| Thursday Aug 10, 2000 | A few months ago I noticed people are still using
Rexx to build
dynamic web pages. Plausible. Today
I heard of something more, er, sinister:
CobolScript®!
Just see
how this baby threatens Perl's omnipresence and
elegance!

| Friday Jul 28, 2000 | Popular music these days is in a sad state.
Signs
are
obvious,
I hope. Every time
Art turns into an Industry, it's hard for the good stuff to
rise from beneath the drivel.
Well, at least we still have
J. S. Bach
(who just got a more or less nice, new website for himself).

| Saturday Jul 22, 2000 | Some fox
mythology and history: The Shinto god Inari
has white foxes
as messengers and guardians.
There's also a town called
Inari in
Finnish Lapland and the
local nature
seems to have a certain interesting species
too - This can't be just a coincidence.

| Friday Jul 21, 2000 | I just got a new Commodore
64, and I have been writing down some dream
descriptions with it. Anyway, Trans64
program seems to bomb these days, so I have to OCR the text,
often
with varying results.
Well, I don't blame C64. The machine supports
wonderful
philosophy and can do
pretty
amazing things like web serving
even at this great age.
