Oct 18, 1999		 Want DSL? DSLreports has an agent which will query all the DSL prequalification engines they know about if you provide the area code and prefix and your street address. The results will not only tell you if you can get DSL, they'll also offer prices, speed estimates, and the estimated line distance.

Jerk City reads like the bastard child of an online comic and the ramblings of a febrile four year old. But this is not a bad thing. In fact, it's the insanity that makes it so damn funny.

Ken Perlin, perhaps most famous for his noise and turbulence functions (which won him an Oscar), has done tons of other fantastic work. Make sure to check out his continuing procedural texturing work, his Java fractal planet and the animated face, also implemented in Java.

I'm not opposed to babies; I just don't want to be around them. But I'm also not opposed to essentially cloning myself, or to happy couples be they whatever gender combination, having their own happy, giggling, DNA combination. GenoChoice will let you do it all online. Then, with weekly or so updates, watch as your baby grows inside a surrogate mother. In the meantime, examine the world of Lee Mingwei, the first human male pregnancy, made possible by GenoChoice. And PaperVeins.

Oct 17, 1999		 It's a hard life contributing to men's magazines. Okay, probably not.

Billions of dollars are spent arresting people for consensual crimes -- actions that are against the law, but that all participants consent to. Prostitution, drug use, and gambling (at least in some areas) are consensual crimes.

Peter McWilliams' book Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do goes into great detail about the absurdities of consensual crimes, and is well worth reading. Plus, the complete text is at the above link, for you cheapskates!

Oct 16, 1999		 Although long thought to be nonexistant, it now appears that there may indeed be a tenth planet, a vastly distant brown dwarf with three times the mass of Jupiter.

Oct 15, 1999		 Yahoo clubs has a catagory for parody religions. I especially like The Chicken Hunters' Order, for those who fear and loathe chickens, and The Church of Beavis Christ, whose name speaks for itself.

If you're like me (and God help you if you are) losing valuable electronics is a exasperatingly regular event when you're on the road. ReturnMe is the savior of forgetful klutzes - offering stickers with unique ID numbers with the ReturnMe.com url and instructions on how to return your valuables. Your PDA/laptop/cell phone is delivered via FedEx day after it's found, and ReturnMe even offers to broker lost-and-found reward payments to the helpful Samaritians who pick up after you.

If Heliogabolus only whetted your appetite for insane Roman emperors with terms of power less than that of US presidents, then you may also want to go see the twentieth anniversary rerelease of the movie Caligula. However, don't take your kids. Even their promotional web site describes it as including "shockingly realistic dramatizations of the sexual orgies and wanton cruelty in the courts of emperors Tiberius and Caligula." Twenty years ago it was very controversial. These days I'm expecting a more ho-hum response.

While there are certain theologically-based movie sites which are easily mocked. The Movie Parables Site is actually an interesting Christian-oriented review site, which considers the balance between visuals, art and morality. Plus, he loved The Matrix, so he can't be all bad.

Bloom argues that Canons give us common touchstones by which to define ourselves - we are creatures of the Bible and Shakespeare, Pascal and Descartes. Or, if you're about my age Marvel Comics Fruit Pie Ads.

Old Man Murray is the definitive site for bitter, drunken, foul and tasteless video game reviews, not to mention occasional sophomoric attempts at journalism. It is also possibly the only site that ever thought using the flaming head of Martin Van Buren would be a useful alert system. This meme finds it strangely appealing.

Is This Sexy? Your Guide To DTV Erotica follows the proud tradition of Oh The Humanity in providing guides to movies that nobody else would think about. In this case, the overwrought, overacted, underplotted, Shannon-starring genre of the 'erotic' thriller.

We don't have any books by Heraclitus, nor by Democritus even though the latter's contemporaries and successors noted him as a prolific author. What we know of Aristotle is the lecture notes scribbled down by his students; most of the works he himself carefully prepared for publication have been destroyed. And don't remind me of the lost plays or I'll cry. Many people assume that the last copies of these works were lost in the famous burning of the Library of Alexandria in the time of Cleopatra, but in fact, most of the last copies were probably lost in a disaster both more recent and more obscure, the burning of the city of Constantinople in the course of the Fourth Crusade in the early thirteenth century.

PJ O'Rourke, former left-wing peacenix and pot-smoking hippie is now one of the most savagely hilarious libertarian/conservative satirist alive. His best works include the Liberty Manifesto and sardonic primer on US government Parliment of Whores. Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys. - PJ

When I Grow Up is the best new online comic strip where people get attacked by angry, carnivorous pigs. They do other things too, though.
