| Monday Jan 24, 2000 | Though it first seemed to be a lame gift, I have to admit that the George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Reducing Grilling Machine is actually damn useful and I can make an awesome steak or burger quickly. But for pure entertainment value, even it can't compare to George Foreman's website. Turn up the speakers and listen to the champ's piano music and maybe a sermon on the Doctrine of Love while you order the strange Buddha-like sculpture that might be a rocking chair where you sit in George Foreman's lap but I can't really tell. to Food by nyarl |

| Thursday Jan 20, 2000 | Noodle is a free software toy which provides a visual metaphor for music-making that's so simple to use a non-musician will take to it instantly, so play-friendly and sophisticated experienced musicians will love it. It was built by the uberbrains from Realworld (who Peter Gabriel has tapped several times for CDRoms and stuff). Noodle is one of those oddities that reminds me software can be so good it makes you weep or laugh or call old friends to proselytize. to Music by cricket |
| Suddenly there's all these sites popping up everywhere devoted solely to in-depth, encyclopedic accounts on the subject of self-abasement.
