| In the neverending quest of web nerds working to hijack $10,000 servers and transform them into emulators of $5 games, some are more successful than others. The author behind the Java port of Nintendo's classic 1982 LCD handheld Donkey Kong offers one of the most impressive efforts I've seen. to Games by pjammer |
| Man + Beer = More Man. So says
Have-a-brew.com.
They have a searchable multitude of beer links. to Beer by keith |
| Friday Oct 1, 1999 | Both Drummergirl and
Drumhers are useful
resource pages for XX-chromosoned percussionists. Practice, ladies, and someday
you might get as good as Janet. to Music by crikey |
| So did the dwarf-tossing scene in UPN's hideous new show
Shasta McNasty give you ideas on how to occupy
your idle hours? There's a jolly dwarf out there who
is happy to let you throw him around in exchange for money. Somebody shoot me.

| Members of the White Master Race! Your Pontifex Maximus commands you to eat raw food!. to Food by fringehead |
| Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon mentions van Eck phreaking -- reading the electromagnetic signature of a device to decode what is displayed on it or though it remotely, even through walls and from a distance. TEMPEST may whet your conspiratorial interests about it, as may this page on
Electronics Surveillance and Espionage that includes a link to the original Wim van Eck paper on remotely detecting electomagnetic radiation from display
devices. I noticed a trivial application of this when i put my powered speakers too close to my x.10 transceiver and sent a command to dim the lights. to Conspiracy by oznoid |
| Oh, how I love breakfast cereal. Nature's perfect food, complete with cartoon character spokesmen. But an evil conspiracy threatens the very marshmallows that brighten this most-important meal of the day.

Well then, go to the spooooooky

Wonder Woman. You can
watch her every morning at 9am on
the Sci-Fi channel. Darn this day job. to Television by keith |
| I don't know what is more nightmarish:
the misspellings

| His baby done left him, he was thrown out into the street
without even his shoes, his own momma told him
he was a no-good dirty dog, but
at least he still has a web site. to Music by peterb |
| After disbanding a few years back, Canadians (and occasional comedians) Kids in the Hall are getting back together and touring America and Canada. Screw you, Mexico! to Humor by nyarl |
| Thursday Sep 30, 1999 | There appear to be some women in the world who think
that
Men Suck, and they've made a web page about it.
Oh, and yes, that is me on their
letters from losers page. I guess I suck. to Commentary by keith |

| Yes, it's the toilet

tinky and

| Breastfeeding can be beneficial to the health
of rugrats. Sounds normal, no?
Mariana
is a doll who can not only
"give birth" (which looks like "child elimination" to me) but then can
breastfeed, too.
And then there's the fashionable
breast t-shirt to show off your fake breasts to all your friends. In a related but equally scary note, some women breastfeed toddlers. These people really believe that letting kids should make the decision when to stop breastfeeding. Just like letting them make the sole decision when to potty train. Nothing like the thought of a 3 year old breastfeeding in diapers, to make ME want to run out and spawn. to Health by moose |
| In November of 1988,
Robert
Morris released a
software
worm that brought almost 60,000 machines to a halt.
A
lot has been written about
this
event, but of special historical interest is the federal government's
General Accounting
Office report from 1989 -- their first internet publication!

| "Next year is the
year 2000." Sez who?
The
Gregorian calendar isn't the only one out there, you know. In
addition to the well known and still used
Hewbrew and
Islamic
calendars, there are many others floating around,
ranging from
the ancient and very non-Western
Aztec and
Mayan
calendars, to the downright goofy
Tranquility calendar (with the year zero set to July 20, 1969) and
the Thelemic
calendar, based on Aleister Crowley's mystical hokum.

| The new syndicated show, Battle Dome, answers
the question of what you would get if you cross American Gladiators with professional wrestling. to Television by keith |
| Brewguide is a good argument for government-mandated internet access in bars, with reviews of over 450 different varieties of the heavenly beverage. Plenty here for hop-heads and the taste-challenged alike.

subtle pleasures of cow

| "It's rather an interesting, titillating finding" one fine scholar says of
a study claiming that gay men have bigger dicks than straight men.
And what's the rigorous and careful methodology behind the
Kinsey Institute data that this study is based on?
A survey that
"asked 4,187 heterosexuals and 935 homosexuals to measure themselves with a ruler at home and mail in the lengths." SCIENCE! to Sex by sburke |
| You want to watch something different? Catch
Modulations, Iara Lee's documentary on electronic music. Here's an
interview with Iara Lee, documentary film maker of "Modulations" and "Synthetic Pleasures."
You'll also want another interview,

Of course there's also Salon's rise and fall of rave culture.

| Americans love fights. Witness the popularity of wrestling or boxing.
My favorite fights are WWWFights!
Pooh vs. Snuggles or
catfights or
Thundercats vs. Masters of the Universe.
Which gets one thinking...what about Mumm-Ra as cereal? to Humor by gen |
| After reading Tom's Hardware Guide for a little while, I thought I was the shit. I felt confidant in overclocking celerons, video cards, and generally pushing my machine. Then I started reading Ars Technica. With articles like their SMP smackdown, What to do with iMacs, and Damage labs advice columns, I've brought my useless knowledge of the nearly obsolete to a truly "pimptastic" level. to Computing by akk |
