| Saturday Jun 12, 1999 | Humor in the News is a weekly dose of recent
AP-wire news stories attached to smartass, hilarious quotes. Yes, I miss the heyday of
Saturday Night Live, too. to Humor by pjammer |

bitingly clever commentaries. Favorites include rants on
ISPs,
the '96 election, and Bill Clinton. to Commentary by pjammer |
| Okay, I'll admit it. I don't really know what
funkymonkey
is, aside from a neat animation. Apparently,
it's both a way of life and a magazine.
Oh, and it's by
these people,
but that doesn't help me figure things out.

| Thursday Jun 10, 1999 | ThirdVoice is a browser plugin that talks to remote
servers to implement one of my favorite
features of NCSA Mosaic 1.2 (circa 1993): distributed annotations. Every time you look at a web page, the plugin asks a Third Voice server for comments
left by others and then displays them inline. The most amusing part is how
scared some webmasters are knowing they have no recourse other than propaganda. to Web by akk |

Of course!

| Wednesday Jun 9, 1999 | The Comissioner of the National Hockey League, Gary Bettman, has agreed to consider supporting a new cause; The NHL Fan's Association promises fans a direct way of expressing their concerns about the direction of the sport. The only catch? They have to attain a member base of 75,000 people by the end of the year for Mr. Bettman to hold up his end of the agreement. Their current member base? Around 6000. Membership is free, so why not?
