My prediction for a future urban fashion trend is Negro League baseball gear. Availible at All American Negro League Baseball Apparel or Blue Marlin. And even if it never catches on, they're still pretty darn cool. Oh, and if anyone doesn't know what the Negro Leagues were, here's the yahoo category of sites about them.

You can listen to complete albums on-line for free at broadcast.com's CD Jukebox. Personally, I'm most fond of Digital Underground's latest, Who Got the Gravy, but that may just be me.

Has the recent security hack of Microsoft's Hotmail made you paranoid of your at-work online job-hunting? Sure, HushMail offers web-based email with java-powered public-key encryption - but both sending and receiver must use HushMail accounts for it to work. Thanks to ZipLip, you ungrateful, company-resource-abusing turncoats can keep your primary webmail provider while exchanging encrypted messages with your favorite headhunters.

Everything you've always suspected about those pancake-loving, HIV-spreading, aliens is confirmed at The Official V2 Website. Remember kids: smart Earthlings say NO to deceptive alien entities!

FakeCounter works just like "real" page counters. With every visit to your page it will display a new number, except that this number has no connection whatsoever to the amount of visitors.

The long-anticipated "parallel" novel to Orson Scott Card's seminal Ender's Game, Ender's Shadow is out - unlike the other overpromoted sci-fi yawner this summer, the story more than lives up to its hype. Go get your copy.. Now.

The United States Postal Services is now truly hip, offering online confirmation and tracking of letters and packages, and now mere mortals will be able to purchase United States postage and print it out. Information Based Indica (IBI) is a protocol for printable stamps, and certification for products that do so. Currently, the available tools are divided into two camps: those using batch-purchased postage with a proprietary hardware key, and those offering internet-only solutions. Monthly and startup costs vary widely and almost all are in beta, offering free postage and discounts if not free startup costs. E-Stamp Corporation's E-Stamp Internet Postage, Pitney Bowes offers ClickStamp Plus and ClickStamp Online, Stamps.com with self titled Stamps.com, Inc., Neopost's PC Stamp, Simply Postage, and software only PostagePlus.

At the intersection of Insecurity Avenue and Vanity Lane you will find a strip mall offering services such as Justhow, where you can receive an "unbiased evaluation of your looks from photographs which you send to us." Reason? Quite obviously nobody you know will tell you the truth.

I suppose that it could just be me, but somehow I'm not convinced that The Merriam-Webster and Garfield Dictionary is really such a good idea.

Let's say you want to make a purchase at CDnow, but you don't have one of those ten dollar coupons which are frequently available. What do you do? You go to Find It NOW! and simply choose from their list of coupons for CDnow and other web retailers.

You may be wondering just what PETRONAS, the corporation owned by the Malaysian government which is in charge of all the country's oil and gas resources, is doing with all those resources. The very aware amongst you probably know that they're building the world's largest office building, but I'll bet that even you don't know that they're going to broadcast its opening live on the web. More scary than that is that the reason I know this is because they've bought banner ads to promote this event.

Ok geek, thanks to the helpful links from memepool, your Metaverse avatar is ready and you're busy building your bandwidth-hogging 3DAnarchy home. But how's your sword-fighting skills, Deliverator? "Kendo," as Snow Crash readers and 15th-century samurai know, is an attempt to take a disorganized, violent, brutal conflict and turn it into a cute game. Two choices: play with bokkens (wooden swords) at a "kendo" school, or study the original Nipponese art, sparring/training with steel blades, at a Shinkendo dojo. Guess what I've been studying for the past three years.

I'm as liberal as they come, and even I'm starting to think that public decency laws might not be so bad. There've been ads for this site all over my neighborhood. Maybe little children with pets will see it and think they can look...

A personal construct from AvatarMe is only the first step in aping your favorite Snow Crash Hiro. An interactive, bandwidth-hogging processor-time-abusing Metaverse home (a la Ng) will be sine qua non for true bitheads. Start building yours today with tools from 3D Anarchy
