| Monday Mar 13, 2000 | Advantages web commerce has over traditional media: if you sell dog toys, why not include a page where you can hear what the squeaky rubber toys sound like? I'd personally recommend the classic carrot. to Pets by elder |
| Sunday Mar 12, 2000 | Merriam-Webster defines manifesto as "a
written statement declaring publicly the intentions, motives, or views of its
issuer". To me, most lie near the fine line between
amusing and
annoying,
while a few are actually
interesting.
Many manifestos seem to be authored by total
cranks, yet some
(such as the GNU and
Communist manifestos) may have some lasting significance.

| Most people, when they're kids, get bought a Venus Flytrap. And most of us promptly kill them. For those of you who want to know what you did wrong, try hitting the Venus Flytrap section of the Carnivorous Plant FAQ. The site also includes instructions on how to grow other varieties of carnivorous plants. Why would you want to grow 'em? Well, apart from a general interest in the whole plants-that-eat-flesh thing, they're just damned beautiful. to Pets by elder |
| When I was in Las Cruces, New Mexico, I was struck not only by the beauty of the Chihuahuan desert, but how different it was from my conception of the desert in general. DesertUSA has lots of interesting and informative information about the North American Deserts. to Science by peterb |
| Saturday Mar 11, 2000 | "Do you like the feeling of a hand wrapped in tight latex gloves as it slides a cold steel
instrument between your legs? Do you like being helplessly bound and gagged with a
dental gag? Or perhaps you like the empowerment of being addressed as Doctor
or Nurse, as you slowly screw open a speculum inside a gaping orifice?" to Sex by tregoweth |

| Aerovironment has been pursuing innovative
vehicle design (including human- and solar-powered vehicles) for years now.
Current projects and products include
the
Black Widow, a remote-controlled surveillance plane that launches from a briefcase,
the Pointer (a larger, hand-launched
surveillance plane), and the Charger electrically-assisted bicycle. Also
in development is the Helios
unmanned telecommunications relay aircraft, which would circle continuously
for months on end over a city to provide the equivalent of
a very-low-altitude telecom satellite. Paul MacCready is
the man behind the company, and has a history of unique engineering accomplishments
including the construction of the Gossamer Albatross,
the first human-powered airplane capable of sustained flight. to Transportation by xrayjones |

| You might have heard about the Aibo, Sony's dog-like personal robot. (Although you probably haven't heard of this Aibo owner's page...).
You might have even heard about the R100 Personal Robot, which recognises 400 voice commands and the faces of ten people.
So personal robots are happening right now. Where's it all going?
I think the Robokoneko (robot kitten) has got to be the one worth waiting for. to Gadgets by simon |

| It's truly impressive how William Shatner has resurrected his career by, uh,
I guess we can call it "singing"... Nevertheless, if you're like me, you don't watch
enough television to see those truly surreal ads on a regular basis - What to do??? Fortunately(?)
Priceline has put the ads on the web for us!
In both RealMedia and
QuickTime, no less.

| Contrary to the opinions of some
free-lance pharmaceutical researchers,
herbal preparations (either
taken before a test
or used to
adulturate your

won't
help you pass a

Alas, the only things that
will help are

| Thursday Mar 9, 2000 | It's almost spring. And you know what that means -- sweet, sweet love seems to be on everyone's minds. From gay werewolves to toddlers, everyone seems to be doing it. But not all of us can git it on in Real Life -- so where better to turn than AOL chat logs of hilarious trolls baiting pedophiles into netsex? What more could you ask for?

| Dee Hock is the man with a plan, creating the VISA network which is more Bazaar than Temple in structure. Such an organization is named chaordic and defines an entire business philosophy that borders on the metaphysical. Dee has spent a number of years teaching his gospel, and there are fine examples of his point of view, how VISA evolved, and some implications of chaordic institutions for the future. In the past five years the technically minded press, for example Fast Company, have reported on his ideas, and his recently released book has made excellent reviews. Apparently, others have taken up the slack and the concept is proving to be more than a buzzword emerging from the fractal-crazed late 1980s. to Philosophy by urog |
