| It was the architectural embodiment of our hopes and dreams for a space-age future. It was bold, striking, and optimistic. It was also really silly looking. It was Googie Architecture. to Art by keith |
| This violent little tension breaker was inevitable...and has arrived not a moment too soon. to Humor by monde |
| Monday Nov 29, 1999 | Java-powered encrypted webmail? Check. Voice-command-operated email? Check. Personal 800-number voicemail/fax/webmail account? Check. But absent a cool domain, who gives a rip about stupid features like encryption of fax capacities? From now on, my memepool posse can reach me at pjammer@nigga-please.com, thanks to the good folks from Datapimp. to Internet by pjammer |
| Curious to see what was online about early electronic music composer Ilhan Mimaroglu, I discovered the ever helpful Short History of Polyphonic Music in Turkey, and as well, the even more helpful and enlightening History of Electronic Music nestled smugly in the bosom of Dartmouth's Women on the Web-Electronmedia site. Not as much as I'd hoped for, and yet too much at the same time.

| There is good television, bad television, and a whole mess of middling television; see repesntative samples of each at the Museum of Television and Radio. Now on both coasts! to Television by goboro |
| Wordox is an addicting Scrabble-like game, with the added strategy of being able to steal the points of other players. For reasons I'm not sure, there's also a special Oxygenated version especially for to Games by nyarl |
| Maybe you don't like those
USGS
topographic maps.
Stop your whining! Make your own! You can use the
standard symbols, the
standard colors, and
standard naming!
So what are you waiting for? Go make some maps! to Cartography by shadow |
| Saturday Nov 27, 1999 | If you wondered why those
USGS
topographic maps you downloaded seem to be scanned
crooked,
here's why. Included is a detailed explanation of what
Universal Transverse Mercator is, and why its use means
you can create mosaics from some subsets of USGS
maps, but not others. to Cartography by shadow |
| It was once an excuse to hold wine-swilling parties in the basement of a Boston home...but in the last six years, the Museum of Bad Art has attained the status of a community institution, which has been giving some undoubtedly unexpected exposure to some very dubious paintings found in trash cans and thrift stores all over America. A similar web-based venture, badart.com has a larger collection of exhibits, but the curator just doesn't seem to be having quite as much fun with it as the folks from MOBA are having. to Art by monde |
| Some things never change. Seventeen magazine is STILL giving out bad advice. to Culture by djinn |
| Ever wonder how
GPS worked, or wanted to use the raw data to do
the position solution yourself? Everything you need to know, and even example
code, in Java and
C
as well as the original author's code, is available from this site,
where
GPS equations are explained. to Reference by shadow |

| Who knew there were so many
different kinds of barcodes?
And each of them with their own strange encodings and checksums. to Computing by sburke |
| It's likely that quantum computing will, in the future, be a reality.However, making algorithms for
them is not going to be trivial as they don't function at all like our traditional digital computers.
To facilitate this, Open Qubit wants to emulate them.
The emulator won't run at nearly the speed of a real quantum computer, but it should at least be
helpful for developing algorithms before we finish developing the computers. to Computing by keith |

| Searching for the perfect beverage? Try BevNet,
which contains reviews
of over 900 sodas

beverages direct, classifieds,
soda stock quotes,

My current favorite, probably because of kitsch value, is Hot
Rod Magazine's new soda.

| Thursday Nov 25, 1999 | Though they bat around the word "postmodern" far too much for my delicate sensibilities, fluxeuropa is a nifty "cultural webzine reviewing art, books, films, music, personae and miscellanea." I stumbled across them while looking for artwork by Tor Lundvall, who's collaborated with Tony Wakeford on several Sol Invictus album covers and the masterfully dark Autumn Calls. to Web by nyarl |
| Tuesday Nov 23, 1999 | Have a troubled credit history, maybe even a civil judgement or bankruptcy? Sure, you'd love to get a fresh start on life, but going to jail for forging a new identity isn't that appealing. How about stepping into the shoes of the terminally ill after they expire? to Reference by pjammer |

| I think Brian DeVane spends too much time in his room. Thinking he's the first to discover video feedback, it turns out he's about 40 years too late. to Art by rsf |
| For all your varied gift-giving needs involving dead creatures: were you looking for a giraffe skull, or pyritized ammonites (cephalopods from the Jurassic period), or was it an anoplophora zonatrix in a box? to Pets by mrradon |
| As best as I can tell, BlueNudes aims to be both erotic and artistic. I think it succeeds on both counts, but I can't guarantee objectivity concerning anything which involves naked women. to Sex by keith |
| Fortunately, although some of the dogs are nude or scantily-clad, Playdog is not erotic in nature. to Pets by keith |
