| The Young Man's
Book of Amusement is just the sort of archaic, dangerous book I used to prowl
libraries for as a kid. It's crammed with highly inadvisable science projects
such as an artificial volcano that's arguably not artificial at all. It is amusingly described by the father
of a young man who received this book as a gift from Michael Faraday.

| There is here! There is the result of four years of top secret development and is the latest incarnation of a pervasive cyberspace. Although superficially reminiscent of first-person shooters, fantasy role-playing games, and multi-player dollhouses, There follows a trail blazed by such efforts as Lucasfilms Habitat and Electric Communities The Palace to create immersive social realms online.

It seems they've been playing their hearts out on the State Fair circuit. I wonder what it's like standing on stage screaming "We are the YOUTH GONE WILD!" when you're pushing 40. to Music by yoyology |

| Sunday Jan 5, 2003 | Penn Station was designed by McKim, Mead, and White and erected in 1910 to serve as the centerpiece of the Pennsylvania Railroad empire. Sadly, most of the original Penn Station was demolished in 1963 to make room for the new Madison Square Garden despite significant public outcry to preserve it. Today, Penn Station is a transportation hub for the Long Island Rail Road, New Jersey Transit, Amtrak, and the NYC subways. Unfortunately, ambitious plans to return Penn Station to its former grandeur have been shelved. to Transportation by rich |

| Friday Jan 3, 2003 | A couple of weeks back, I wrote an article about Karyn Bosnak. In case you don't recall that article, Ms. Bosnak earned her 15 minutes of fame by creating a website which asked us, the cyberpublic, to pay off the credit card debt she had accumulated living in a posh apartment in Midtown Manhattan and buying herself luxury goods at Bloomingdales and Saks Fifth Avenue. When she was unexpectedly laid off like many other New Yorkers (many of whom shop only at places like Target or Payless Shoe Source) in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on New York, Bosnak had no savings and no way to pay the bills she'd shortsightedly run up and looked to us to bail her out like Chrysler in 1979. Although it's very hard for most people to come up with any sympathy for anybody who has amassed US$20 thousand worth of credit card debt buying Gucci and Fendi products, surprisingly, we did.. to the tune of just over US$13 thousand. (Admittedly, we even contributed to her popularity by posting her site here.) Now, Karyn's got a merchandising deal, a book deal, and a movie deal in the works. She says she's learned her lesson -- no more $500 Prada shoes for this reformed consumer. However, many people are unhappy with her accomplishment and Karyn bashing is rampant, but she's spawned a host of imitators -- literally dozens of people who've followed in her footsteps.

| Tuesday Dec 24, 2002 | What the Free State Project wants to do is pretty simple: get at least 20,000 libertarianish sorts to move to one single state and then become civically and politically active enough in that state's government and institutions to make that state a "free state" in their lifetimes. These folks are completely serious about this... but seem to be having a hard time deciding which state will be chosen for liberation. Delaware was one of the first to be considered, but there are other possibilities being discussed.

| The existence of Santa Claus continues to be a hotly debated topic around the world. Most skeptics point to the laws of physics or the logistically impossible task of delivering billions of Christmas presents to the world's little boys and girls on a single night in December from his home in the North Pole (which appears to be located close enough to Plattsburgh, New York to affect local television reception) as proof of a global conspiracy. However, as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs continues to prove to the non-believers, anything is possible -- albeit with the assistance of Apple technology. Then again, maybe it's more than merely a coincidence that many people believe that Satan er.. Santa (as well as Apple Computer) to be aligned with very dark forces.. and I'm not referring to the CIA.
