| Thursday Jul 27, 2000 | If you're a mail admin and you really hate spam mail, you're probably familiar with the RBL list of spam tolerant mail relays. However, if you're the average user and you hate spam, there's only one way to go: msgto.com - the email service that stops all spam mail by requiring people who mail you to 'prove' that they are not software. to Internet by faisal |

| One for the Babbage "if only people had listened" file:
Konrad Zuse came up with apparently the first
high level language, called
Plankalkül. When? 1945.
Not stoked enough? He had an electromechanical, freely-programmable binary computer working in his parents' living room in 1938. I can imagine the fights that that caused. "Konraaaaad, I want to put my feet up, but there's tickertape spools on the footstool! And AGAIN with the metal shavings in the sofa!!"

| The prolific, airheaded, actress Melanie Griffith offers us a rare (ahem) glimpse into her personal world with her very own website. While she seems to have no intention of answering her many critics on the site, she does take the tabloids to task. Anyway, it's kind of sweet, but the design suggests a mind that isn't entirely at ease. Oh yeah, don't forget the recipes. to Movies by borges |

| Well, sure, we all thought that we knew. I mean, it was obvious, right. We just had to let it go. But we were wrong. The Amiga isn't dead. Now, instead, of just being a piece of hardware, it is a virtual machine. There's even a Linux SDK you can buy. They are hoping to become the way to write truly portable useful applications for the future. to Computing by keith |
| Monday Jul 24, 2000 | There are a lot of places on the web for fairly classic recipes, but
it's always a joy to find some of the more different sites. For
example,
Gourmet Recipes for the Culinarily Challenged offers such delights as
Janet's Double D Ambrosia Cups, which will require a bra, and
Death Warmed Up, "Best enjoyed accompanied by strong hangover."

| What is the best way to increase traffic to your site? Search engine placements? Blase. Spam? Sure, if you want to be ping-flooded by angry users. Banner ads? Too expensive. Infect yourself with athlete's foot and chronicle your day-to-day activities online? Of course! to Wackos by pjammer |

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 | 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.

| The reviews are in: X-Men is the first well-done superhero movie! Countingdown.com provides some remarkably long downloadable clips of some of the best scenes in the film. You can also see all three trailers and behind-the-scenes clips at the official site. to Movies by cricket |
| 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.

| As a non-Christian I never learned how to say the Rosary. I also don't
know the little internal parts,
like the
Apostle's Creed, the Hail Mary, or
even the Lord's
Prayer. This
site gives more details about saying the Rosary. It also plays a
soundfile of "Ave Maria," which is Latin for "Hail Mary."

| Using his own source material and the material submitted by others, someone has compiled Ka-BOOM! A Dictionary of Comicbook Words on Historical Principles, i.e.: onomatopoeias with references. SCHLIKT, for example, is "the extruding sound of Wolverine's claws" (an easy one for X-Men fans). GAAAH however, is a "cry of pain" in Mantra, and a "cry of fear" in Archie. to Comics by mrradon |

| Monday Jul 17, 2000 | Shannon Kringen, aka Goddess Kring, is something of a Seattle celebrity...in her own mind, at least. She has her own public access show, which is pretty nifty if you're stoned and pretty bizarre if you're not. And, of course, there are naked pictures... and a Web journal. to Wackos by idat |
| Welcome back, Jeanketeers! Like me, I'm sure lots of you faithful readers out there have been bitten by the eBay bug. You can just get so gosh darn much STUFF there, it's enough to drive you cuckoo! My favorite things to trade there are Holly Hobbie goodies -- come on, you all remember that ever-cheerful little colonial-era girl with the massive blue bonnet covering her entire head and face, right? Well, turns out that Holly Hobbie is actually the name of the artist (her real name, not a pen name!) who drew this delightful little character known only as "Blue Girl", and she's fully catalogued, cross-referenced, and indexed at Holly Hobbie Central. Run by Lisa Marshel, a real-life Jean Teasdale and self-proclaimed "huge collector of STUFF". We love you, Lisa!
