R.U. Sirius has formed a new political party called The Revolution®, which he says "combines the best of the Libertarians and St. Ralph". You can read a lengthy explanation of their origins and philosophy, or a summary of their platform, but I might vote for them just becuase I like their slogan: Victory Over Horseshit!

Adobe's Portable Document Format is nice, but who wants to pay hundreds of dollars to be able to write and manipulate PDF files? Check out Planet PDF or the PDF Zone, where you can find advice, information and tools for working with PDF, including a (mostly) free ANSI C library of functions that allows you to read and write PDF files.

The PSI-bernetics company sells "psychotronic, radionic and psionic devices" that you wear on various body parts to amplify psi frequencies. Were I to be actually in the market for such objects, however, I might find the fact that their catalog of Basic Devices doesn't even have photographs of the devices, but only poorly-done line drawings, to be a possible sign that they might not even have any actual inventory...And this warranty doesn't help inspire my confidence either; how would you measure "regular usage" of a psionic device?

Airliners.net has a great repository of aircraft / airline pictures. With pictures of 747's landing at dusk, to a Cessna 172 that forgot how to use it's nose gear, you can find almost any plane, from any airline.

While searching for sites that sell/broker used Cessna 172's, I came across this site -- every capitalist pigs dream. From currencies and cigarettes to oil refineries built-to-spec you can build yourself a conglomerate in a matter of days!

For over a quarter of a century, San Francisco Sex Information has been giving out what they claim to be accurate and non-judgmental information about sex and sexuality to anonymous telephone callers from all over the continent. They're funded entirely by volunteers paying for the intensive training required before going on the phones. Call them up and ask a question (but don't ask one of these).

Originally scheduled for Januray, 1999, NEAR will rendezvous with asteroid 433 Eros on Valentine's day. Well, unless something goes wrong again. But at least NEAR is in the hands of Johns Hopkins and not NASA.
