adhesive tape?! The
European Media Lab

love the sticky stuff, and the same technique could
be used for holographic storage.

| Thursday Mar 23, 2000 | Okay. I barely know where to begin with this guy. David Icke appears to be a schizophrenic who believes in the Illuminati (especially their headquarters in Toronto), shapeshifting reptiles who rule the world, a Nazi Zionist conspiracy, and even in UFO overlords. I hope his journey will take him to the nearest thorazine salesman soon. to Wackos by stimpy |
| The Adaptive Communication Environment, or ACE has turned Professor Douglas Schmidt into a minor deity among High-Rel CORBA and scalable web junkies. From JAWS, The JAWS Adaptive Web Server to TAO, The Ace ORB, ACE is being used increasingly as a "platform independent framework using core design patterns for concurrent communication." Although open source, it is available in value-added form through Riverace Corp.

Volunteer today!

| Hey, fuck Jean-Luc Godard, director of movies that are ponderous, pretentious, and (worst of all) French. Give me the collected works of nonexistent director Alan Smithee any day. to Movies by peterb |
| Wednesday Mar 22, 2000 | We've all seen born-agains of the overboard variety who display extreme obsession with demons...but this guy is a shade beyond the garden-variety hellfire-and-brimstone wacko. Warning the flock to not celebrate Halloween is commonplace...but Easter is evil, too? This guy seems to see demons everywhere...in paisley print fabric, in "extreme" sports, and in Lucky Charms marshmallow cereal, among a great many other things. There seems to be nothing that he doesn't consider demonic...even Christmas is supposed to be evil (I can't argue with that one, personally.) I started wondering if this whole thing was a joke when I ran into the anti-perspirant demon...but this kook's just gone to such great lengths to catalogue his lifetime of continuous exorcism that it can't be anything but for real. to Wackos by monde |
| Like the rest of you, I hate having to explain what a jump
cut is when discussing Godard.
It is much better to point people with such questions to a glossary
of film terms.

| Pundits claim that the strength of the ecommerce revolution is the way that it allows small companies to reach the mass market, making niche products more widely available to all. Which, in practical terms, means that you can now buy elephant and giraffe dung or predator urine online. Vive la revolution! to Commerce by elder |

| Simple rule-based kinematics containing springs, masses, friction, and forces can be fascinating to watch as the java applet Constructor demonstrates quite nicely. Slightly less captivating but innovative in its own right is the navigation console in the front page of Soda, specifically called sitebot. Also on Soda is Loytaltoy which is more statement than game.

| I find twinkies.com disturbing, I find Twinkie The Kid disturbing, I find psychic snack cakes mind-rippingly disturbing, and I find Twinkie The Kid endorsing the torture of his spongy brethren in the revised site positively Kafkaesque.

| Defenestrate may not have the polished look of The Onion and is definitely more Canadian, but I like it. I enjoyed especially the article about the problems caused by Canda's currency having a negative value. to Humor by keith |
| I was at the Hi Mom Film Festival in Chapel Hill and I saw this excellent short film with has unusually good fight scenes, probably because it was produced and directed by a professional stunt man. Also, it has pizza, which may or may not relate to the director's former stint as Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So, if you have the bandwidth, go watch Better Never Than Late. Oh, and ShortBuzz probably has other good independent shorts too, but I haven't gotten the chance to look through them yet. to Movies by keith |
