12:49 p.m.
Friday, July 21, 2000 |
| well, through the great slashdot i have muddied my great resect for the disney icon pooh bear. some terribly warped souls have executed a photo shoot of pure genius, a work of art if you will. they call it: "The Kama Sutra of Pooh".

Thursday, July 13, 2000 |

09:29 p.m.
Wednesday, July 12, 2000 |
| ok, i am a total a geek...and i know it. i actually get excited when i find an article like this!?! the subject matter is cool, but it is even rarer to find well-written/sensible stuff on the web --even geek stuff. |
|
| nerdperfect.com |
02:49 p.m.
Wednesday, July 12, 2000 |
| "attitude with intelligence" according to techsightings.com, a stylin' site, cool content, and bitchin' bent. think slashdot without the corporate sponsers (and more style). |
|

09:46 p.m.
Monday, July 10, 2000 |

| bizarre diary |
11:48 a.m.
Friday, June 30, 2000 |
| embracing all things strange, i bring to you one of the strangest blogs i've ever encountered (this is a good thing). the stories at robotfranks are of the oddest sorts...and will probably make you smile at least once. oh, don't forget to read the picture-stories of robotfrank and friends. most excellent. |

Thursday, June 29, 2000 |

|
| the hobbes internet timeline |
08:56 a.m.
Thursday, June 29, 2000 |
| a very interesting read for both young and old...err, veterans and newbies. i remember when there were only a handful of http (web) sites, and only slightly more gopher sites (i bet you don't remember gopher?!?). my ftp site collection at the time was only a dozen or so, which represented all of the major public sites! |
|
| the wonderful world of png |
08:40 a.m.
Tuesday, June 27, 2000 |
png, or portable network graphics, is the next standard in lossless image formats. it is both a complete specification, and free. none of the goofy after-it-becomes-popular licensing (we all hate gif don't we?). in addition, a free reference implementation is available.
does your browser support png? and, if your browser sucks, here some other browsers that do support png. |
|
| linux development getting too political? |
09:52 a.m.
Monday, June 26, 2000 |
a funny/interesting slashdot thread that discusses the current state of linux development. here's a quote to get you started:
"It's obvious that the kernel needs better documentation and fewer penis-size contests, but it also needs better 'roadmaps' and plans ." |
|
| a bunch of weird and wonderful things |
09:42 p.m.
Saturday, June 24, 2000 |
nerds, in their brain swelling, anti-social bliss, tend to spend barrels of time doing weird things. and, things that are weird to most, are beautiful in the eyes of a nerd. speaking of beauty, the tabloid is a wonderful thing...even better if it is a randomly generated tabloid. this is much more efficient than paying people to write that shite.
vending machines are also cool, especially when they are accessable via the net. who would of thunk it? who doesn't like cows or live cams? even better, someone put them both together here. file this one under bovine fetish. which brings me to burritos, and the home thereof...or better yet, the great and wonderful dilberito. the food engineered for the engineer. beauty is bliss, isn't it?
while on the topic of weird, try out some weird science. a large number of interesting links here. "weird dude..."
another interesting index of the weird and wacky from an interesting uk portal. weird is good. |
|

09:05 p.m.

| a scientific look at the 8-ball |
09:06 a.m.
Thursday, June 22, 2000 |
now we can all know what makes up the beloved magic 8-ball. a quote from the study:
"...the authors enquired whether the Oracle was enjoying the disassembly. 'Outlook not so good,' was the pensive reply." |
|
| the rules of shotgun |
09:02 a.m.
Thursday, June 22, 2000 |
| i knew there must be rules for this game of my youth somewhere...and here they are. now there can be no argument concerning who gets to sit in my front seat. |
|
| a gnome pda gui |
08:47 a.m.
Thursday, June 22, 2000 |
| i've always thought pdas were cool in theory, but never quite über cool. now, there are a number of gnu/linux and related pda projects...including this one that brings the simple beauty of the gnome ui to the world of the pda. some very über-nistic screenshots. |
