| The Peace Corps has been helping improve the lives
of third world citizens and young U.S. volunteers
for years, as well as being an effective propaganda
arm and "friendly" tool of U.S. foreign
policy, thus making the world safe for multinational finance capital. For those of you who feel that countries
like Ghana already
have enough food and water and electricity and
shelter and stuff, you can join the someone
wacky Geek Corps,
which wants to help local businesses build
up their internet infrastructure, thus bridging
the crucial Zaibatsu gap. to Politics by peterb |
| Need a gift for the system administrator or coder who has everything? Think Geek is the webstore you've been looking for. Of course there's plenty of stuff that you might find useful even if you're not geek inclined such as the Demotivators and the c.h.i.m.p., a rearview mirror for your desk. Consider yourself warned, caffeine and weapons don't mix. to Commerce by borges |

As previously discussed here, my favorite anime work thus far
is Serial Experiments: Lain.
While reading an interview with the creators, I learned
that they viewed Lain as a form of cultural
warfare against the United States.
Shit. Now I have to cancel my order for the
lain lunch box, unless the guys at
thought experiments lain
can convince me otherwise. to Media by peterb |

| Wednesday Aug 30, 2000 | Orson Welles' frequent cheesy commercial voice-overs didn't always go well.
to Television by skallas |
| The pathetic and very sexually frustrating quest to build a female android continues unabated. Even academia can't resist bringing V.I.C.I. to life.

| Var'aq is the programming language of the future. By which I mean that it's a Klingon programming language. to Computing by keith |
| How about a
heritage trolley operation which is converting
a gasoline powered rubber-tired car built from remains
of an original electric car back to electric operation
for their line? to Transportation by shadow |

| So, you've finally decided to be EVIL. Hey, EVIL is cool, right? Here's a handy guide on joining the forces of darkness. to Religion by rich |
| Tuesday Aug 29, 2000 | Attention Internetters: Curry and Super Greg are not net dorks. They are part of a cheesy ad campaign for Lee Jeans, all cooked up by Fallon McElligott. Please stop sending me mail about them. to Internet by faisal |
| You've probably been living under a rock if you haven't heard about theSpark and their six-degrees-of-separation-meets-the-Minnesota-Multi-Phasic-
Personality-Inventory Personality Test, but did you know that theSpark.com also has great suggestions on how to prevent sex?

| MathWorld is a fantastic interactive
encyclopedia devoted to a variey of topics such as
Discrete Math,
Calculus,

The author of the site is Encyclopedist
Eric Weisstein, who has contributed to a variety of other neat
projects.

| The man behind the XFL has a lot of confidence in his ability to create an exciting rival to the NFL by featuring X Games-inspired rules and franchises such as the NY/NJ Hitmen, the Orlando Rage, and the Los Angeles Xtreme. But, history is littered with erstwhile predecessors such as the World Football League, the World League of American Football, the Canadian-import CFL, and the USFL who sought to establish themselves as legitimate contenders. While all of these leagues eventually folded under financial pressures, their legacies live on through fantasy leagues and coaches & players who went on to greatness in the NFL. to Sports by rich |

| It's getting harder to tell real meat propaganda from the Troy McClure parodies, and the
Virginia Polytechnic Institute
isn't helping.

| 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 |
| Joe Wecker
has gone one step beyond a
t-shirt
and set the
now-illegal

But, of course, it's still
not

| Saturday Aug 26, 2000 | I'm not sure this is exactly orthodox, or necessarily a good thing, but if this doesn't harken both to the terrible results job sites must be producing and the how "the street finds it's own use for things" then what exactly does? to Culture by dnm |

world's biggest

| Juggling. The
history of juggling, the
physics of juggling, the
topology of juggling, the
dangers of juggling, and the
Jukebox of Juggling. It's fun to say Juggling! to Games by goboro |
| It may not have the ghetto charm of the
Hotel Cecil

backstabbing
sex scandals of
JenniCam,
but
JailCam
provides just what it says: four live feeds from a
Phoenix, Arizona jail.

| Scifi Channel has released two promising trailers for the their upcoming miniseries of Frank Herbert's staggeringly imaginative Dune. Those disappointed by the studio-gutted 1984 David Lynch film might be surprised to learn that Alexandro Jodorowski organized some amazing pre-production before his '70s attempt was scuttled, including Harkonnen visualizations by H.R. Giger (the famous "Giger Chair" was designed to be a "Harkonnen Chair"), costumes by Moebius (Bladerunner, The Abyss, Tron, The Fifth Element), effects by Dan O'Bannon (who later wrote Alien), ships by Chris Foss, music by Pink Floyd and even an appearance by Salvador Dali as Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV! to Movies by cricket |
| Do you prefer Gibson over Tolkien? Zaibatsus over wood elves? Never quite understood the EverQuest addicts? This may be the game for you: Anarchy Online, a SciFi-based Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game enters Phase 2 beta this week. Will you be a part of the Omni-Tek corporation, or fight for freedom with one of the rebel clans? Would-be players are already forming up guilds and distributing propaganda. to Games by erynn |
