I have just found out I'm a big fan of post apocalyptic fiction books. Somehow I like the idea of an individual or small group of survivors almost alone in the world trying to find out what the hell happened to the planet and fighting for their survival. What are some good books and movies the hive mind can recommend?

Vanity Fair has a typically excellent article out -- "How the Web Was Won,"
an oral history of the Web. Even if you're familiar with ARPANet, Metcalfe's Law, Pearl Harbor Day, the VC rush, whatever -- the story told by the often-animated people at the center of the whirlwind is an enlightening and entertaining experience. And for those of you don't know the history of the Internet, learn it! This is part of your heritage now.

I'm a very overweight man in my early to mid-thirties, and I would appreciate your advice as to how to dress in a way that's complementary to me for social situations (such as going to clubs, bars, lectures, etc.). More inside.

Last night, I spent an hour reading the crazy, hilarious stories

The third and final song off the O Captain! My Captain! EP. It's about the dark alleyways of a crazy, lustful mind- and the fruitless help proffered.

MusicFilter: I have pretty eclectic tastes. From old-time country to heavy metal. Though lately it occurs to me that I have a severe rap and hip-hop deficiency in my musical diet. I know almost nothing. What singles would you say are ESSENTIAL listening? I'd like to be able to download a wide range of songs from the iTunes store before I get in to albums. Thanks.

What are some good music blogs? (With a slant towards old skool hip hop or reggae would be best, but I'm open to give a listen to anything/everything.)

Looking for the best blogs or other online informative websites aimed at the growing rap and hip-hop community of listeners. What are the sites you read for news, record launches, upcoming concerts, gossip, etc.?

A rap education for an picky atheist feminist weaned on indie, punk and new wave - primarily music but books/essays would be good too.

I'm at beginner at PHP and web programming, but have been programming on the desktop for a while. I want to make a web application, about 2 dozen webpages that read/write to a database, and with user accounts. Where can I get off-the-shelf controls for PHP like a DataGrid, Membership/Authentication, Tabs, and Popup Form/Dialog?

I hope this question doesn't come off as crass, but I've always been curious when I see blind people on campus.

I've recently been playing Freespace SCP and it's been making me think about realistic space simulation, and the lack thereof.

How can I get friends and strangers to have a meaningful, intelligent conversation about something deeper than music or cars? Specifically what are some good thought provoking questions or topics to bring up that the average person could discuss?

Given that I'm somewhat proficient in website coding (php, CSS, xhtml and so on) how can I constructively educate myself on actual design? What resources exist that will make me a better designer?

Who are the most insightful essayists of our time--not necessarily brilliant academics, but razor-sharp, profound, generalist thinkers and writers on society? Who are our present-day Toquevilles and Twains, our Bacons and Emersons?
