| Duke University's Sallie Bingham Center for Women's History and Culture has a collection of books for girls from the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth century, including titles both admirable and cringeworthy. Meanwhile, San Francisco Public Library has brought together an interesting archive of Lesbian Pulp Fiction from the same era. Though these groups seem dedicated to study and preservation, Ex Libris Anonymous likes to use just the covers to create amusing bound journals. They are fond of other cover images, too. to Books by yoyology |

| Thursday Feb 27, 2003 | The oarfish is the longest bony fish in the world. It has been reliably documented at eight meters, with some specimens over fifteen meters have been claimed. The oarfish is a deep-water fish, which normally lives on strained plankton and only surfaces when sick or dead. It is often thought that ancient maritime legends of sea serpents originate from rare sightings of oarfish. Because the oarfish looks like a snake, it was always assumed that it moved like a snake in water as well. Recently, however, video footage of the oarfish proves otherwise. The fish moves with its body in a vertical swimming position.

| Monday Feb 24, 2003 | OBD-II, which stands for On-Board Diagnostics, is a series of serial protocols and bussing systems for automobile control systems. Per EPA regulations, all cars manufactured since 1996 have OBD-II. Using a commonly available aftermarket sensor and a sensor guide, one can perform self-diagnostics or even tweak their car's performance. However, all is not rosy; the proposed OBD-III standards will allow automobiles to be remotely located and tracked at all times, or even remotely disabled by law enforcement authorities. to Technology by isosceles |
