| Wednesday Aug 25, 1999 | Looking for a job? Two choices: think like an applicant and deal with the gimps from Personnel, or think like a manager and nail the job you want. One of the best online advisors to guide you to the latter is veteran Silicon Valley headhunter Nick Corcodilos, who has (surprise surprise) a website. Ask the Headhunter about unconventional (but dead-on right) tactics of doing the job to get the job, and you will never answer another inane question about "where do you see yourself in 5 years" again. to Reference by pjammer |
| Much like the philosophical web-site-discussion software Third Voice, you can now chat with other people visiting the same websites you visit, with Gooey. to Internet by faisal |
| Unlike the Nike swoosh symbol, the Cathay Pacific Airlines symbol implies perhaps the motion of not running (in this case to the bathroom to vomit), but the motion of vomiting itself. Of course, if you're ever on Finnavaition, watch out for the queasy reindeer symbol which seems to imply the motion of reindeer vomiting sugar cubes. There's plenty more where this came from, including a loading speed similar to that of luggage conveyor belts, at the Air Sickness Bag Virtual Museum. Now if only I could find the Sea Sickness Bag Virtual Museum...

| Don't have a science museum nearby?
Relax, you can always just use
The Cyberspace Museum of Natural History and
Exploration Technology. It is probably not as good for school field trips, but otherwise nifty. to Science by keith |

kick you're looking for. to Web by keith |
| You may think that Bringdown, one of the bitterst (and funny) online 'zines on the planet, is run by a group of really hip, black-clad, dye-haired trendoids sipping organic cappuccino in some swanky South of Market loft. You'd be wrong.

Just recently, Okinawan recipies including Pig's Feet Soup and Fried Ahi in Soy Sauce. That's Ahi, as in "tuna". to Food by faisal |

| Just about anybody can learn something significant from the master of information design, retired Yale University professor Edward Tufte. His three books on the subject of information design, Envisioning Information (1990), The Visual Display of Quantitative Information (1983), and Visual Explanations : Images and Quantities, Evidence and Narrative (1997) are all unique books which remind us how important information design is to all of us. Read excellent and informative interviews with Tufte at Salon, Fatbrain and Amazon. to Books by gen |
