| Sports-crazed men (and the patient women who love them), who nonetheless feel the atavistic need the procreate, can now time their nookie sessions to the handy Sporting Event Conception Blocker to ensure that the arrival of your little own quarterback won't interrupt your favorite major sports events. Not tonight, dear - the Stanley Cup is in nine months, remember? to Sex by pjammer |

| Friday May 28, 1999 | My latest toy is an EarthMate
GPS Receiver, along with the hyper-spiffy
Street Atlas USA software from DeLorme.
After using it, I was intrigued by the idea of GPS, and found
an interesting tutorial (requires Shockwave). And so, having submitted an item
which mentions commercial products, heartily endorses a superb piece of
non-GPL software, and points to a web site which uses non-Lynx compatible
technology, I am going to go on my Memorial Day.
vacation and wait for the hate mail.

| "FAIR is the national media watch group that offers well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship."
Most of their coverage deals with stories that are neglected or outright rejected by the editors and advertisors in newspapers, television and radio.
They publish a printed bimonthly magazine EXTRA!, and have a weekly radio show
CounterSpin that is aired on many local radio
stations. For example: Why you should be afraid of milk containing Bovine Growth Hormones
and wary of FOX's nonreporting of it. Why social secutiry isn't insolvent as most would suspect.
Why the Justice deparment is trying to crush the micro-broadcasting
proposition from the FCC.

However, all search transactions are logged. Would IBM ever imagine using that
