FM transmitters for mp3 players- are there any that don't suck?
The iTrip plugs into your ipod and transmits your music on the FM frequency of your choice. You tune your car radio to that frequency and listen to your ipod in your car without any wires. Trouble is, it's weak so it doesn't interfere with other people's radios, but so weak it doesn't even work in my own car. Same story with all the products like this from what I've heard.

The Bin Laden Game
is an imaginary treasure hunt for Usama Bin Laden. Similar to the predecessor game, Find Those Weapons, the clues in this riddle-type game will lead the winning player to nearly $5,000 in REAL money. THIS IS NOT A COMPUTER GAME. When you order the game, you will receive a packet in the mail with everything you need to play the game. All you need to play is generous amounts of caffiene, lots of patience, and maybe some ingenuity.

Half-Life 2
After missing its original September 30, 2003 release date and the code being pirated, Half-Life 2 has been released!!! While I didn't stay up for the midnight pacific time release, I did get up early to play it for an hour or so this morning. Anyone else as hyped about it as I am?

It's the Jerry Garcia Autopsy!
- The autopsy of a fat old hippy. Perfectly safe for work & the squeamish, because they use a doll. But it's based on the real autopsy, so the text is graphic, just in case that bothers ye. Please enjoy. :)

PictureOfEverything
I was never good at drawing anyone recognizable. So I feel especially jealous that Howard Hallis can draw everyone, everywhere (and even make the picture wrap both horizontally and vertically). Click to Zoom in if something interesting leaps out at you. Nano Nano, Earthling!
