| Sunday Sep 3, 2000 | Pets on Wheels is a program that helps get dogs and cats into the lives of people stuck in wheelchairs. On the other hand, Eddie's Wheels is a company that sells wheelchairs for pets. to Pets by skallas |
| Nope, since my last article on the subject I still haven't found any soul-crushingly beautiful Indian women that want to date me, not even through the personals. Obviously, I need to encourage people to turn to online forums to work through their issues. And hey, don't worry about the kids: Interracial Voice is a resource for mixed-race folks. See? Really, it's OK. Call me.

| No matter what "they" may say, geeks are sexy (and so is gaming.) However, nerds are sexier than geeks. And yes, there are female geeks/nerds who like to date geek guys.

| Saturday Sep 2, 2000 | Meet Ben-Her. Ben phones sex-chat lines and pretends to be a woman so that men who use the service can leave messages for him and he phones them up. He's giggly and playful, asking them to perform increasingly bizarre acts of depravity in his goal to humilate the helpless saps. to Humor by kade |
| When you are participating in extreme sports
like the extreme street
luge,
extreme wrestling,
extreme bull riding, or
extreme kite surfing--or next
time you are on an Extreme
Road Trip, take a minute to think of the lesser extremes. Unsung heros
brave their lives for less popular extremes like extreme
golf and extreme pinball while
listening to extreme music at
extreme
temperatures or watching Extreme
Ghostbusters. Think about the extreme
programmers (some of them even use Visual
Basic) and extreme engineers who
develop extreme christmas lights and
extreme software like
Extreme Linux
while drinking extreme
caffeine. Try not to think of the extreme
colon cleanser.

| It's well past time for the extreme sports thing to be over. Not only is it painfully easy to parody, but it's reached that stage of popular culture where snack food marketers, frustrated youth pastors and even Yahweh himself seem to be getting extreme. Game over! to Culture by fringehead |

| MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator) is an emulator for your PC that can emulate over 1500 classic arcade video games from the 70's and 80's. But what's really cool about mame is the fact that they have recently ported it to digital cameras.
That's right, you can now play Doom on your Kodak DC265 Digita OS based digital camera. I wonder if you can use digital memory cards to save your games? to Games by kade |

| 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.

| Porn pervades the internet like the persistent odor of urine on a busy city street. Pornografica deconstructs these images, and then reconstructs them into something rich and strange. to Sex by peterb |
| Heard about DivX lately? DivX is a codec that allows for DVD quality video and audio, to be compressed with minor loss to very small sizes, small enough to fit on a CD. Naturally, video pirates are using this technology with DeCSS to release a slew of pirated movies

| Hanne Blank is working hard to
dispel the myths surrounding the idea that fat people aren't and can't
be sexual people.
From her column, Ask The
Fat Broad to her book, Big
Big Love, this
sexy, fat woman is spreading the word that that great sex is for available for all us fat
people. Heck, one Nobel prize winner has already found that
fat people have better sex lives.

| One of the incipient worries of the next few years may very well be "which peer-to-peer file sharing scheme will suck least?" Assuming this is no more than a flash in a pan, we already have Napster, Gnutella, Freenet, MojoNation, Scour, and openCOLA. And looming on the horizon are similar, yet expanded ideas embodied by companies such as Centrata, Lightshare, Apple Soup Popular Power, Aimster, WorldOS, DCypher, Distributed.Net, and others. Toolkits to grow your own distributed computing system such as Cosm are in heavy development and look promising. The recent explosion of peer-to-peer popularity among the computer using masses, combined with recent successes in distributed computing all seems very keen, yet, has anyone said these kids will all play nice with each other? And everyone seems in on the fun now, even Intel. Will the endgame of this revolution be the fracturing of an otherwise whole Internet? to Internet by dnm |

| The FBI's Freedom of Information Act Reading Room is pretty interesting. You can read their files on famous personages such as John Lennon, The Duke and Duchess of Windsor, The Duke, Old Blue Eyes, Pablo Picasso, and
W.E.B.DuBois. Their Unusual Phenomena section includes files on such things as cattle mutilation and the incident at Roswell. to Conspiracy by keith |
| Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) the international agricultural-products giant, is probably best known to most people by its "Supermarket to the World" ads. More than a multibillion-dollar food producer, ADM was ringleader in a 1995 worldwide price-rigging scheme that resulted in over $70 million of fines. While corporate skullduggery is depressingly common, ADM's case was unusual: a senior ADM executive VP agreed to become a undercover witness, and recorded boardroom deals for the FBI for almost a year before the firm was charged.
The Informant, a facinating chronicle of corporate greed and James-Bond antics of ADM's wire-wearing VP, reads more like a high-wire, double-dealing, dirty-tricks spy story than the nonfiction account it is.
