The beauty of many seemingly mundane or uninteresting objects and substances is often revealed when viewed at extremely high magnification. In the case of quite a few integrated circuits, however, you might notice odd bits of artwork that've been snuck in by the engineers.

So your neighbors now have zero-volume single-surface glass Klein bottles, eh? Upstage them with a knitted Klein bottle. Or this wider spectrum of fibrous topology-wear, including the knitted Mobius strip yarmulke and Fortunato's Purse. Remember, knitted surfaces can intersect without cutting a hole in either one...

Oh my god! He is so hot! Do you think he likes me? I just don't know! I mean, I don't, like, want him to know I like him unless he likes me too! All I really know about him is his email address! What can I do? Never fear, young lady, eCrush will save you! We're just what you're looking for. Soon you too may be able to count yourself among our giggly middle-school girl success stories.

In this election year, take comfort in this thought: Someday, Bush and Gore's final resting places will join the list at PoliticalGraveyard.com.

Where mountain biking and unicycling collide: mountain unicycling. Sounds like fun, and it's apparently not as dangerous as you'd think. Of course, if you're lusting after danger, there's always unicycle jousting.

The Center for Democracy and Technology's Operation Opt-Out is a handy place to remove your name from profiling, marketing, and research databases. My favorite part, the online profiling section, collects links to Web advertising companies' opt-out pages (if they have one).

YesterdayLand is a showcase of Saturday Morning Cartoons from the beginning of TV Time to today, including some details and casting info for each. For example, did you know that Courageous Cat & Minute Mouse was created by Batman creator Bob Kane? They have such great classics as as Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan, The Brady Kids, Hong Kong Phooey and, of course, I Am The Greatest: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali. How could we ever forget cartoons like Laverne & Shirley in the Army, The California Raisins Show or Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? Included are non-cartoon Saturday Morning Classics, like the The Bay City Rollers Show. And in their videos are they have interviews with a variety of folk. Why you can even watch Courtney Love singing the theme to the Banana Splits.

At first glance, you might think the Formula One Cartoon Archive just doesn't seem funny because you don't know enough about Formula One racing. But the fact is that even if you do know a lot about it, the cartoons therein are still profoundly unfunny. The only thing that struck a note with me was the strangely surreal list of drivers.

Frankly, I'm willing to sign any petition that involves presidential candidates and the World Wrestling Federation. And it's for an actual Good Thing, even!

Unfortunately, this is what happens when you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality. Especially if you're the type that sits around waiting for computers to magically become self-aware. Failed technological predictions are nothing new, especially for uber-nerd A.C. Clarke.

At a point where avatars that look like taller Fisher-Price Little People meet in chat rooms is Mobiles Disco, where you talk, drink, dance, and just look plain cute while doing it. Be careful that you go in the right disco however, especially if you don't know Finnish.

Imagine what a happy guy Eddie Breen would be if he were turned loose in the Museum of Bad Art with a full palette of his bright, tempera-like paints and given carte blanche to do what he does best: make "piggyback art"...which is, essentially, taking odious thrift shop paintings and augmenting them a little.
