| Sunday May 13, 2001 | The xylitol faq
in a nutshell: Xylitol, a sweetener primarily rendered from birch
pulp, is undigestible by most mouth bacteria. It has the same
sweetness per calorie as sucrose. It increases saliva pH above its
normal 7.0, precipitating the absorption of calcium by tooth enamel.
The World Health Organization and the US Food and Drug Administration
agree that it's a safe sweetener. It even can reduce your chance of
getting ear and throat infections. It has no icky aftertaste, and
it doesn't leave nasty residue in your brain. It's not even a sugar!
So why in the nine billion names of God can't you get xylitol gum in a
random U.S. grocery store? For crying out loud, people, even
Canadians have this stuff! to Health by braino |

| Dr. Jump is a physician and jump
rope expert. Oh, and he's also a bit of a philosopher. His
site has far more than
you ever wanted to know about jumping rope. As if that isn't
enough, the USA Jump Rope
Federation has far more than that. to Sports by braino |

| Saturday May 12, 2001 | Karate and kung fu have dominated the media for too long. How about giving
other countries' martial arts a chance? Say Greek pankration,
French savate, Brazilian
capoeira,
Filipino stick-fighting (known as kali, eskrima,
and arnis), Russian sombo,
and the Israeli krav maga? to Warfare by fatherdan |

There's
true
beauty
in
mechanical watches.
A
quartz watch
may be cheaper and more accurate, and you'll never get the
accuracy
of
the Internet with a
mechanical watch.
But the
craftsmanship,
subtlety,
and
intricacy
of a
real, ticking watch
is unparalleled. to Gadgets by nelson |

| Sunday May 6, 2001 | The do-it-yourself industrial project narrative: some tinkerer decides
to take something that's normally the domain of heavy industry and build a smaller version
in their basement or backyard. They normally end up learning
something, but more importantly, by homebuilding something industrial,
they seem to grab just a little bit of that heavy industry power for
themselves. The web is full of stories of home
foundries,
and hobbyist
gas turbines
among others, and a trip to the bookstore will net you this fine tale of siege
weapon manufacture.

| Saturday May 5, 2001 | I just watched
61*,
a movie about
Roger
Maris'
1961
home run record. It's
good,
but it's on
HBO,
so it's not getting the
usual
endless
promotion.
Of course, I ignored baseball as a kid,
and was annoyed by the
1994 strike,
so
baseball reference sites
are invaluable for catching up.
