| Where's George? is a fun
little experiment in currency-tracking. Type in the serial number
from any US dollar bill and see where it's been! Of course, the
chances your dollar's already in the database is slim, but it's
still fun. to Economics by crikey |
| Finite games are the familiar contests of everyday life, the games we play in business and politics, in the bedroom and on the battlefield - games with winners and losers, a beginning and an end. Infinite games are more mysterious - and ultimately more rewarding. Anyone who enjoyed the metaphysical/philosophical musings of Cryptonomicon and Snow Crash should definitely check out James Carse's Finite and Infinite Games - one of the most thoughful and original books on understanding the strange theater we call life. to Books by pjammer |
| Has the recently-released Back Orifice 2000 made your IT department paranoid of your connection to the Internet? Perhaps the paranoia is justified - conventional firewalls (designed to keep hostile commands out) are unable to stop Trojan Horse attacks, which works by instructing trusted terminals to secretly send compromising information to the cracker outside. Zonelabs has recently designed a "reverse firewall" Zone Alarm that scours outbound packets for signature Trojan emissions.

| If you like to read literature as opposed to fiction (or if you find
you
must, what with educational responsibilities) I heartily recommend
W. W. Norton's series of
Critical Editions, each complete with an (!)
authoritative version of the text, critical writings to further
your understanding, and enough background and supplementary
materials to make it all make sense in the first place. to Literature by goboro |

neopagan interpretations of the witch hunts.
This
site, run by an academic neopagan, gives a good
overview of the historical data, and the
changes in thought that led to revised academic
opinions, as well as
theories about why people want to believe otherwise.

| Those of us who grew up in the 80's may remember a delightfully eccentric TV sitcom that pitted three high school "best buds" from Santo Domingo High School against the forces of Principal Ms. Musso, dim giant Larry Kubiac and Lemmer. Like anything that appeals to larval geeks, Parker Lewis Can't Lose spawned a number of fansites, including an episode-by-episode review/character analysis from one of geocities' moreobsessive fans. to Television by pjammer |
| Friday Jul 16, 1999 | Go see Phantom Pulp Menace Fiction, a part of the wonderfully juvenile material at The Food Court.
