| Etxtreme serves up "your daily info breakfast" via an odd little email list. It's essentially a new form of data mining...a sort of big-picture analysis of huge sections of web-space. The output sample is somewhat perplexing upon first glance, but this press release should help to clarify things a bit. And once I saw the list of sources that Etxtreme sifts through, it seemed interesting enough that I signed up for the mailings.

| Hunting for the apt cliche shouldn't be hard as nails. They are classified by topic in the Book of Cliches, indexed with search engine in the Cliche Finder, and Taglines Galore! offers the most complete reference of abused signatures for those needing to affect witticism in their everyday mail. Strictly a cliche is not only an overused expression but can be a situation, owing to the Evil Overlord List, a whole site (enormous) devoted to movie cliches, and Cirque de Cliche which offers a different perspective: the living cliche.

| Crypto-gram is a security based news and commentary newsletter published by Bruce Schneier, author of Applied Crypography and the Electronic Privacy Papers, and founder of Counterpane Internet Security. With his excellent, well argued commentary, and his panache for hitting a softspot in the security community, it's a must read for all.

| Tuesday Feb 15, 2000 | I love academic jargon. Here it is applied to the classic newspaper comic strip, Krazy Kat: "Krazy exposes the false consciousness of his companions through ignorance of their habits and conventions; his naive misrecognitions of their kynical misrecognitions deny their denial, pointing out the pretensions and misrecognitions necessary for the maintenance of everyday life." Whatever. to Comics by peterb |
| Standardized tests are so ubiquitous in American academic life that it is hard to remember a time when one's future didn't depend on them. While I was disappointed to find out that the gender gap in SAT scores continues, I was fascinated to learn about the uptopian experiment that created the tests.

| Now, some of you may have heard the recent news article (not urban legend) about a man who got an unlicensed doctor to cut his leg off to satisfy his amputation fetish. Now, we all know that fetishes can be outright wacky and drive people to do really weird things, but, you may wonder, why would a doctor, even an unlicensed one, agree to participate? Well, the LA Weekly has an article all about the bizarre and astounding life and practice of Dr. John Ronald Brown, which is appropriately entitled "Why Did He Cut Off That Man's Leg?" It's not recommended for the squeamish (although there are, fortunately, no pictures of that or any of his past surgeries). to Wackos by keith |

| 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!
