| Wednesday Dec 12, 2001 | Film archivist Rick Prelinger has amassed a huge collection of "ephemeral films" -- commercial, educational, and industrial films that were created for a specific use and not really meant to be saved or revisited. Which means that, now, they're hilarious. You may have seen excerpts from them in documentaries, or on Mystery Science Theater 3000, where they sometimes ran before the "feature presentation." Thanks to the Internet Archive, hundreds of these gems are now available online. to Movies by tregoweth |

| Russell Crowe and Ron Howard's upcoming film A Beautiful Mind is based on the book of same name, a story about mathematician John Nash: Nobel Laureate, father of modern economics, and a demigod (along with John von Neumann, Oskar Morgenstern, John Harsanyi, and Reinhard Selten) of game theory. You can read Nash's autobiographical sketch from the 1994 Nobel Prize to get some additional insight into his life beyond what's portrayed in the movie. to Mathematics by dnm |
| Monday Dec 10, 2001 | Robert Greene (author of
The 48 Laws of Power) chronicles the exploits of great seducers as case studies to illustrate timeless principles of human psychology in The
Art of Seduction. A skeptical female reporter from Nerve.com contacted Greene in a telephone interview to grill him on his approach - and, much to her surprise,
admitted that "Greene charmed my socks off, got me to completely reconsider his approach and advised me regarding flirtation strategies
for a party I was a ttending that night (which worked)."
In addition to a
seductive official website,
Art of Seduction has inspired a online discussion
forum/community on practical applications of seduction principles.

| Sometimes, musicians want to make computer games (or cheap facsimiles of thereof) about their music; Sometimes they make music videos that look somewhat like video games. But (aside of professional game musicians, of course), few make "videogame-like music" that would go to market - especially if it's not connected to any particular game. Jukka Tarkiainen, a Finnish electronic musician, has now released his first CD - and couple of the tracks are also available for download. He even has a hilarious music video that is very videogame-like in spite of being mostly live-action... to Music by wwwwolf |
| Tuesday Dec 4, 2001 | The Nelson Brothers are still at it except now they are doing it country-style. Matthew's wife Yvette is picking up the slack with her own album. Gunnar is cool and wants to inspire us while continuing to use the "f" word. All of this makes me miss the old days when the band Nelson meant long hair and the beautiful, metalli-cheese of songs such as After the Rain. Oh well, at least the boys don't have to listen to the stupid Ozzie/Ozzy jokes anymore.

More specifically, Tempest for Eliza is a program that uses your monitor to send out AM band radio signals.

| "You can make music with anything, even a piece of toast," said Einstürzende Neubauten frontman Blixa Bargeld in an interview once - nontheless, it's always fun to see this concept translated in practice, even if it's with the lowly, slightly more high-tech (than toast, mind you) cellular phone. to Music by wheezer |
