| Thursday Jun 3, 1999 | Call me excessively retro, if you will, but when I pop
a newly acquired Quad tape into my car's player, I'm in pure
Heaven. If you're joining me on
cloud nine, and you want to stay in tune with the now, be sure to check out
the 8-track of the moment. to Music by keith |
| Want to Make Money Fast? Here's a complete guide on how
NOT to do it. That's right, it's the
MMF Hall of Humiliation, which
details internet chain letters and other scams and why they
are illegal, nonfunctional, or both. to Internet by keith |

| Along with the other fine syndicated comics at UExpress
there's this strange yet appealing
comic about a boy and his stuffed tiger.
Each strip is being rerun 11 years after it was originally published.
I like this one especially. to Comics by keith |
| Aagh! Boff! Crunch! What could be better than
an A-to-Z of comic book sound effects?

| Since it seems to be Promote Your Pet on Memepool Day, I suppose it's time to do my part. If there are any of you thinking of getting a parrot, definitely check out BirdsnWays for helpful articles, breeder and store directories, and of course the edible car. to Pets by nyarl |

| Overtone singing is the practice of aligning one's throat, larynx,
mouth, and tongue to sing polyphonically by using upper harmonics,
creating eerie, twisting descants of pure sound. It's an art
practiced
by folks who hail from a place
called Tuva, as well as New York's Harmonic Chior, as
led by David
Hykes.
Undertone singing
is the sister discipline of singing polyphonically using lower
harmoinics, as famously practiced by
The Gyuto Monks.

| Those who are looking to enter the heady world of cat ownership have
a large
selection from which to puzzle out a choice. I can
personally recommend a couple of

| If you're considering a dog as a pet
(with apologies for the noise) you may want help finding that
perfect breed.
There are also alternatives if
you fancy a more equal companion
(persuant to applicable
state law, of course). to Pets by goboro |
| In October the ArtCar Fest returns to the San Francisco Bay Area, where around 100 "rolling sculptures" will converge. My personal favourite is the Army Man Car, one old car, a battlefield of small plastic toys and a lot of epoxy resin. to Art by loothi |
| Wednesday Jun 2, 1999 | For some reasons, friend Nutkin is unpopular on the web.
Dozens of sites feature an obvious terror
of the little furballs. Some of which involve
exotic torture
devices,
bad poetry,
calls to arms,
and weird theories
about squirrel's extraterrestrial origins. Like everything else silly in
the world, there is a
webring.

| This part-time music
historian
has done quite a bit of research into this part-time historic
musician.
He also has a excellent radio

International station near you. to Music by goboro |

| Star Wars freaks have never been known for their stability. But I think the
Darth Maul Estrogen Brigade collects some of the
screwiest together in one place, so the rest of us can avoid them like the plague. to Movies by jacquez |
| Tired of traditional computing architectures?
Befunge
discards the crypto-fascist linear program counter
in favor of a multi-dimensional program counter that
can iterate over a variety of surfaces. While
in CS theory this is about as useful as square wheels,
it's great for making fellow coder's heads go blooey.

| ZOPE is an open-source
context management system which looks like it might
have some wide-ranging potential. It's somewhat
similar to Frontier,
but more hackable.
