| Friday Dec 1, 2000 | I've been waiting a long time for the author of A
Pattern Language, a brilliant book on architecture and design, to
create a Web site. What we got was one
of the ugliest sites on the Web. It's based on a silly bookshelf
metaphor, which he apparently plans to patent. There's plenty of
useful information here, but buy the book first. to Reference by monkfish |
| Ask yourself these questions: Are your coworkers all immigrants working on Visas? Are the actual owners of your company unknown? Is there a North Carolina office? If you answered yes to some or all of these questions, then you may be working for a money laundering operation. Here are some prevention guides for employees and for bankers. to Commerce by succa |
| I love to fly, but I realize people are deathly afraid of doing so. To feed into your fears, AirDisaster.com will give you all the fodder you need to keep you awake all night. If you're just morbid, you might want to listen to a selection of black box recordings, or look through a simple table listing of the worst air disasters in history. AirDisaster.com has more complicated listings of disasters cross-referenced by year, manufacturer, or airline. to Transportation by mrradon |
| Thursday Nov 30, 2000 | Acrylic-encased pieces of Liberty Bell 7, the
Mercury
space capsule that the late
Gus
Grissom flew in 1961, are for sale.
Rather than spending too much time pondering whether this is ingenious or
merely tacky, you should read The
Right Stuff or watch Apollo 13 instead.

| Samichlaus, brewed by the Hürlimann brewery in Switzerland, was one of the world's best and most alcoholic beers. Only one batch was brewed each year, on December 6 (St. Nicholas' Day), and it was lagered for nearly a year before being ready to drink. In 1996, the Hürlimann brewery was purchased by a big corporate brewer and the beer was cancelled after that year's batch, sparking protests among beer lovers. Fortunately, the protests worked: Schloss Eggenberg Brewery in Austria acquired the rights to Samichlaus and secretly brewed a batch last year, using the original recipe and yeast. That batch is on sale now, so go buy a bottle today! to Beer by kapital |
| Wednesday Nov 29, 2000 | In the market for a vehicle? Why settle for a gas-guzzling SUV or a used car when you could have the best of both worlds? Buy a used bus and relive your school days -- or your twisted fantasies -- for just a few thousand bucks! to Transportation by sylvar |
| Unamerican Activities is sooo
two years ago. To be a
hip kid these days, get your wry
commentaries on industrial
culture from an industrial source, like EMED Co, Prinzing, or Seton.
Don't forget this stunning

awareness sign.

| Shameful confession: I am addicted to reading other
people's journals. It helps satisfy my voyeuristic
tendencies. I think I was turned on to it by following
Kim Rollins' online diaries (as well as the subsequent
meltdown between her and Wil Shipley). It always fascinates me, too, to
see how quality of writing matters: some people can make what should be interesting seem
boring, and others can make the mundane seem vibrant.
While you can always cheap out and get a fix
of journaley goodness at Open Diary (contest: can you find mine?),
there is something special about stumbling upon a homepage with a journal
during an unrelated websearch. In that vein, I present
today's little diamond in the rough. And I didn't
even know Morrissey was still alive.

| If you're sick of
sterotypical Greeting cards,
Heretic Cards
may be a great option for you. In particular,
the
Rational Inquirer,
Path to Atheism, and
Greetings from Hell cards are enough to brighten up
anyone's dismal day.

| In the midst of America's
holiday consumer frenzy,
think for a moment of our soldiers serving overseas.
Adoptasoldier.org helps
people in
the States send holiday care-packages to soldiers stationed in
Kosovo,
Kuwait
and Saudi Arabia. So bake some
cookies and send them today.
(I'm sorry to get all serious on you; we now return to your regularly
scheduled
ass humor.)

| Well, it appears that Crack.com (makers of the always trigger happy bloody fun) is selling their domain on ebay. It's a sad state of the web when crackwhore.com is a Quake III clan, crackdealer.com is free e-mail, and buycrack.com just links to buy.com. Where's my iCrack.com, in five flavorful colors? to Drugs by djinn |

| I'm picky about my malt
whiskies. I'm quite fond of the Dram
Select 21 year bottling, which you can actually get here in the
states without too much trouble. But for the connoisseur
there are few places more absorbing than the Covent Garden Whisky
Shop, located in (surprise!) London's Covent Garden.
Unfortunately, although you can buy on-line, the shipping
to the States is prohibitive. Good excuse for a trip overseas,
though. to Drugs by dha |
| It's that time of the season when you should be figuring out what to buy your geek friends for the holidays. There are, of course, the usual sources of gift ideas. But why bother with any of those standard gifts when, for just $1,000, you can buy your geek friend a life. to Commerce by mdm |
