Interesting sellout.
About.com has changed the "o" in their name to a Life Saver throughout the site. That's some desperate advertising.

Would you pay to have your picture taken while drunk, high, and badly lit, and then posted on the Web with the witty phrase of your choice?
Apparently lots of people would, and it sure is amusing to see.

Mister Lance adds a bunch more words into the
Napster debate. "Napster bad," he says, for the most part. But the opinions are thought-out and justified.

I knew this had to happen eventually. Someone finally developed a digital camera in the form factor of
a roll of 35mm film. That means you can just pop it in your regular ol' film camera, and boom, it's digital.

"
The ROMP is a freewheeling entertainment destination cut from the unruliness and irreverence of the Internet. Our no holds barred animations, videos, and games give voice to a new generation of artists both inside and outside Hollywood. The ROMP allows users to set the limits, break them, and get a good laugh out of it. But don't take our word for it." (i.e., they have a game where the object is to get laid.)

$50 dollars a year for a Web appliance and unlimited access. After three years, it's free. The only catch I can find is that if you cancel before three years, you have to pay a bazillion dollars. So who's going to make the
Virginconnect into a cheap Linux box?

Farstar International is probably one of the best examples of bad Wed design ever, but obviously that's not the guy's bag. Apparently his bag is collecting really awesome pictures of galaxies and stars and other such spacey things. The shots aren't big enough for wallpapering, but might be neat source material for designy people. (The link isn't showing up in the preview, but here it is: http://www.cliffr.com/galaxies/banner.htm)

Haven't really tried it yet, but
RedGorilla sounds like a badly-named but useful tool for people who need to track their hours so they can accurately bill clients.

"It is already possible for an assassin to send someone an e-mail with an innocent-looking attachment connected to it. When the receiver downloads the attachment, the electrical current and molecular structure of the central processing unit is altered,
causing it to blast apart like a large hand grenade."

It looks like the Microsoft vs. DOJ case might be worth paying attention to again, as their
settlement talks have ended.
"After more than four months, it is apparent that the disagreements among the parties . . . are too deep-seated to be bridged," said mediator, U.S. Circuit Judge Richard Posner.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson will probably issue a verdict any day now.

Maybe I should learn VB or whatever's required to make a browser widget that blinks whenever I'm at a site owned by
AOL/
TimeWarner. There are tons of them, and I bet the thing would be blinking all the time, what with all the wholly owned subsidiaries of this and that. Of course, it would be built on an open architecture, so we could add Microsoft (where's their list?), and anyone else that needs watching.

Man there's a lotta links today. I'd like to add one, and continue the profanity thing. Everyone say "fuck" one more time. And now, "ass." That's also a good word. Both are used liberally at
BlowTheDotOutYourAss.com, which appears to be some kind of guerrilla advertising group, similar to that whole
Andre thing. They provide templates for printing out
stickers that say things like ButIdon'tNeedMyToothpastDelivered.com, and IJustHadARectalExamOnline.com. Good fun for the whole family.

Rave culture is a strange thing, but the Lingua Ravia will tell you the difference between a
hoochie and a
twinkie. Unless, of course, all you want to know about is
drugs. The site is filled with sarcastic definitions of commonly used terms in the
scene. It's funny if you know what he's talking about, and educational if you don't.
