| Thursday Mar 2, 2000 | Borges is not Tulse Luper. Borges was Borges. Tulse Luper is Tulse Luper, or maybe Peter Greenaway, or maybe paul.m. And these may be his
suitcases. to Conspiracy by penth |
| The European Southern Observatory operates various Very Large Telescopes to produce images rivalling those of HST. Look at the dust-lane detail in this shot of the Sombrero Galaxy to see what I mean. to Science by obvious |

| Wednesday Mar 1, 2000 | Taito's
Stratovox
(1980)
was the first arcade game to use voice synthesis, although
Gorf,
which came out a year later, is often mistakenly named as the pioneer.
Also of note, the painfully difficult
Sinistar
(1983) was the first to use digitized speech samples.

| "These ingenious plastic molds make perfectly round snowballs to stack in beautiful designs or decorate a snowman-and, of course, to throw." Wow - Martha Stewart can take the fun out of almost anything.
to Commerce by birgitte |
| One of the most common arguments against environmental protection is that the associated costs will be prohibitive. Well, the Green Scissors Campaign has published a list of 77 environmentally harmful government subsidies, the cutting of which would save the US government $50 billion.

| Monday Feb 28, 2000 | It's a bit late for me to post my memorial for the amazing writer Martin Kellman (and sending him mail isn't going to do much), who died this past September, but he deserves it. There isn't much about him on the web; I only found the article for The Motley Fool which got him a citation as an Economics Professor even though he taught English at Bloomfield College...at least the article is amusing.

| Liebography, the "Drunken Cliff's Notes of History" is a show that slanders famous people and pass the savings on to you. If you're lucky enough to live in NYC or San Francisco, tune in to their disturbing cable access television shows, and if not, several shows are downloadable in RealMedia format. to Media by joshua |
| It's amazing the big-ticket goods that can change hands. For example, I found Executive Controller -- a company that brokers the sale of most any sort of aircraft. For instance, you too can own a 777, or pick up a 747 for those times when you need all the extra legroom. You could settle for a 727, and spend the extra cash on destroying another generation. to Commerce by imploded |
| Sunday Feb 27, 2000 | Here's how unprofitable Amazon.com
is. Jeff Bezos'
Amazon "member page" has a
picture of him as Austin Powers. And where is this
picture hosted? Why, on a
GeoCities account. Makes you wonder, doesn't it? to Internet by tregoweth |
| EarthStation1 is small "internet
media museum," i.e. a big collection of funny or
interesting mp3s and wav files, cross-indexed by subject.

| Saturday Feb 26, 2000 | It's been eight years since their last album, but The Sisters of Mercy are still around with a seriously deranged website. Ask their drum machine a question, find out how to blow off music critics, and the all-important list of women they'd like to sleep with. to Music by nyarl |
| A nice scholarly resource on the Bible's creation and history, the Reading The Old Testament site is a
