| Wednesday Aug 8, 2001 | More ambitious than shining lasers at the
moon is the KEO project. From the mind of the artist Jean-Marc Phillipe the project is a trippy combination between a satellite, an art project, a time capsule and a space bird. It is due to be launched in 2003 and passively orbit the Earth for 50 000 years before returning to the planet (they've put some thought into that part). The design includes wings that "flap" (courtesy of high tech shape memory alloys and heat from the sun). And the time capsule aspect? Everyone is invited to submit up to 4 pages of text that will be stored on the payload of CD roms. While this isn't the only space art game in town it is interesting to note that there have been sculptures on MIR and Andy Warhol has work on the Moon.

| Before creating Little Nemo in Slumberland (perhaps the only license to spawn both a 1908 broadway musical and a 1990 Nintendo Game), cartoonist Winsor McKay was famous for an adult-oriented comic called Dreams of the Rarebit Fiend. While Nemo's dreams were fantastic and child-like, Rarebit-induced nightmares usually revolved around more mature concerns. to Comics by fuzzeli |
| Make your own paper replicas of the
trams of Brussels.
They include links to paper TGV models,
and trams of Stuttgart.
Make sure you visit the TGV pages, since they include more than just the TGVs, like the
Amtrak Acelas.

| After first the
PCC streetcar design, and then many castoff streetcars from the United States found their way to Europe, the
National Capital Trolley Museum
has had the favor returned as
they
acquire a foreign example for their collection.

| Monday Aug 6, 2001 | While the Internet Movie Database is a great
reference, the plot summaries leave a bit to be desired. Sometimes I'm
just too busy
to sit through some movie and
discover
the inane ending
and exactly what happens so I can
spoil the movie for all my friends
or nitpick endlessly.

| Perl:
Some people like it, some people love it, and some love it so much they'll advocate using it for almost anything, or even start flame wars with people who prefer alternative scripting languages (despite reasoned and blunt arguments not to).
But for one man, it is a love that dare not speak it's name.

| Sunday Aug 5, 2001 | You know about, or at least of, the infamous Dr. Hunter S. Thompson -- known as Gonzo to his loyalists; right? Well, I don't know which is more strange: the fact that he is writing a column for ESPN's Page 2; the fact that he has included the phrase "Fear and Loathing" in not one but four of his books; or the fact that he lives in a "fortified" compound named Owl Farm.

| Some “porno” sites you may not have noticed (probably for good reason): If you are seeking sexy, fun, tasteless amusement, entertainment, laughter, and exuberance, you MUST visit Spirit of Joy. There are lots of random dirty joke sites on the web nowadays. Some dirty jokes, however, are much more subtle than others. On a more personal note, is your sex life freezing or boiling? And how will it fare in the future? Maybe you need some information about sex from a reliable source, or maybe you just need something to look at to turn you on. Once you do get turned on, you can definitely rely on the world's most technologically advanced computerized butt-plugs . Always remember, EVERYBODY is weird. to Sex by safronlwin |

| Friday Aug 3, 2001 | Why have you never heard of Mike Keneally? Why did Frank Zappa call him "The best new guy I ever had in the band"? Why do Steve Vai, Robert Fripp, Andy Partridge, and Henry Kaiser think he's brilliant? Why would fans come from around the world to organize and attend a festival in his honor? Why would tapers devote an entire domain to trading recordings of his live shows? Someday Mike's music is going to be huge, and you can say you knew him back in the day. to Music by ron2112 |

| Most men know that no matter how hard we work on gender inequality, there are certain things that women won't be using ... or will they? Although there have been some special designs that get at the problem, all you ladies really need is a special tool... and if you feel squeamish about reuse, a disposable version is also available, as well as a more realistic version. Or forget the tools entirely.

| Perhaps the most poorly named object since the Holy Roman Empire, the Los Angeles River is the source of much worry and consternation, as well as a proposed dual usage that is so foolish one need only look at the abstract to see a disaster waiting to happen: recreational element in addition to flood control.
