What do a witch (Elizabeth Blanchard Garlick), a bitch (Lizzie Grubman), and electromagnetic mind control and the manipulation of space and time (Camp Hero) have in common? They're all linked to The Hamptons -- a series of affluent beachfront communities on the south shore of Long Island. Believe it or not.

Jasmine Watson has done a great deal of work on costuming jewelry for Xena and Hercules. However, right now she's getting more attention for designing the Elven jewelry in The Lord of the Rings movies. (Compare Tolkien's descriptions of Elven designs and emblems.)

Most board game geeks agree that The Settlers of Catan (or, as it's known in Germany, Die Siedler von Catan) is one of the best games ever, whether online, play-by-e-mail, or in-real-life.

Any company would be lucky to have a chairman of the board like Molecular Electronics'. A successful businessman, he created the original format of MTV, and founded and ran the largest non-theatrical video catalog and company in the world (now PBS Home Video). He has also had critical and popular success in the world of entertainment, even winning the first Grammy given for a video. But you'll probably just recognize him as a Monkee.

Fisher-Price, the oh-so-wholesome toy company, has quietly pulled their bomb-throwing Middle Eastern terrorist doll. I guess they won't be bringing out Quinn's custom Little People any time soon.

Not everyone is anxious to see the Euro in circulation. Amsterdam-based improv comedy troupe Boom Chicago, for example, bids a nightmarish adieu to the Dutch guilder.

Moving? Scared your favorite radio station will go away? (Maybe you should be) Perhaps you should fingerprint all the music they play so you can recreate it later. Clango will do it for you, if you run Windows. SongPrint is available for Windows and Linux and appears to be similar. There's also TunePrint, but they appear to not be ready just yet.
