Mah Jongg
Aisai asked me to find her a good Mah Jongg game. I couldn't find a program better than this website which does it with Shockwave. And two tile sets to choose from. Now where is that Nutterbutter? - Tuesday, March 5, 2002

Variety Meats
What a lovely design and layout this page about eating organ meats has. Honestly, seeing that picture of kidneys and reading the description makes my own organs feel funny. Don't forget to click to the misc variety meats...where the real freakishness is. Oh, and I don't eat this stuff. Just letting you know. - Thursday, February 14, 2002

Finally An Excellent Ripper
The encoding dll is Japanese, the ripping codec is German, and a Polish author put it all together. Brillant and much [much much] faster than any ripper you've used. And yes, even Musicmatch. - Wednesday, February 6, 2002

One Hit Wonder
An old AltaVista search engine game. I thought I'd post it since there's some dumbed down version where you just look for a combination of two words that make only one hit for google. - Tuesday, February 5, 2002

Alabama State Quarter
Sooooo...What will be on our quarter? No mention of MLK. But as usual, state outlines, state bird....Can anyone but me remember that the state bird is the yellowhammer? I have NEVER seen a yellowhammer. Well, maybe at Lowe's. [ba dum cha] - Wednesday, January 23, 2002

History of Huntsville Theaters
Until I read this, I didn't know that when I saw Star Wars in the theater in 1978, it was in the brand new Univeristy 4. I remember we went there. But to me, it has always been the University 6, which is now closed, which is fine since it had gotten so nasty we were all worried it would open a gate into hell. - Tuesday, January 22, 2002

This Guy Likes Stapers
Qwwwwwaaaaah! - Thursday, January 10, 2002

Schematic of Wierdness
And the FBI doesn't care if you make one. But please, don't scare the old people. - Sunday, January 6, 2002

Excellent Cute Wingdingish Font
There's more than one. - Thursday, December 27, 2001

Cooloola Monster Image
Not much info, but there is a picture. - Wednesday, December 19, 2001

Egyptian Rat Slap
I learned it as Slap, they have it as Screw. But this is a crazy game which for some reason all the high schoolers I know [at least here in the south] know. I'd never heard of it until Thanksgiving. There are some rules here we don't follow. We do the face card thing and the double slapping, and that's about it. - Tuesday, December 18, 2001

Remember the Sony eMarker
It was this cool keyfob that you could press a button on when you were listening to the radio and it would mark the time. You'd get back home and plug it into it's cradle, attached to your computer, and you could find out what song that was if the station you were listening to was listed by Sony. They were only $25. Now that I have Christmas Bonus money burning a hole in my pocket, I go to emarker.com, and what do I see... - Monday, December 17, 2001

Dollar Bill Movement Tracker
I didn't believe this existed until a co-worker showed me. So I entered in a few dollars and wrote the URL on the back of one. That's how he knew about the site. Freaky. - Thursday, December 13, 2001

Goliath Frog
While looking for info on Ornate Horned Frogs [aka pacman frogs] I found out the the Pixie Frog isn't the world's largest frog. It's just the world's largest frog you can own. The Goliath Frog, over a foot from nose to rear, is the biggest. - Wednesday, December 12, 2001

Target Had Pierogies
And the box had a URL on it. And this is that URL. - Monday, December 3, 2001

Gamefaq's Archive of Grand Theft Auto 3 Reviews
Some dude gave it a 3/10? Go back to playin' with your barbies before I hit you with a baseball bat, you girly man. - Wednesday, November 28, 2001

But Which is the Right Elephant Hat for Me?
Some of the ladies have asked you to put that Giraffe Hat away. - Monday, November 26, 2001

Brian's Shag Mech
Have you ever kissed a girl, brian? - Monday, November 26, 2001

I searched for Viper in Google Images and I got this
Got a fast connection, fond of reactive space expiriments that MIT does with Java? Boy, are you in luck. - Wednesday, November 21, 2001

Parallel Universe Hardee's
You have intered a parallel universe...a universe where Hardee's is known as Carl Jr's. Freak-out! - Thursday, November 15, 2001

The Uselessness of AB+ Blood
I have AB+ blood and when I was in line for a flu shot, the lady behind me had a bruised up arm which functioned as a conversation peice. She had been mangled by the volunteer blood drive people. I told her that I don't give blood anymore since I know that it's pretty much worthless. She didn't agree. Now that I'm not near her anymore, I have the proof. Ta-da. My blood is worthless to all but other AB+ people, which is 4% of the population, and they'll just give us O+ anyhow, which is what Aisai is. - Tuesday, November 6, 2001

1988 Toyota MR2 Supercharger Review
Jim Mateja wrote this. He's the Ebert of car reviews, which doesn't mean he's the best. It means he has certain likes and dislikes and his tastes are always the absolute truth. Jim loves the car, but wants it to be a Ferrari. - Wednesday, October 31, 2001

Grand Theft Auto 3 Review at PS2.ign.com
GTA3 ROCKS! - Wednesday, October 31, 2001

My High School Was Named After Gus Grissom

YOU NEED NEW GAME
Or at least he does. - Wednesday, October 24, 2001

My Job Making Candy
I got a second job, yeah. The pay sucks, but it's fun work. - Wednesday, October 24, 2001

Yifanmall
Or Yifan Mall, I'm not sure. But I just ordered $30 of bowl noodle I've never tasted from them. The most interestingly named is the "Beef flavored Shimp-eggs Chinese Style Cup Noodle" manufactured by Sun Shun Fuk. - Tuesday, October 23, 2001

The Jerusalem Cricket
Now this is what I need as a pet cricket. They are cool looking and live two years. Mucho cool. However, why don't they live here already? Only the west coast, California, etc. - Tuesday, October 9, 2001

Cricket Caresheet

Cricket Lore
It's October, when the crickets start coming in the house. I already have one resident in my cricket home. Here's one of my reference sites. - Tuesday, October 9, 2001

Diary of an Aibo Owner
She has two Sony Aibo. One named Spaz, a 111, and a 210 named Ziggy. I haven't read these yet, I found her place looking up info on Tamagotchi. - Tuesday, October 2, 2001

Netflix
I've transcended the local video store. However, terrorists have slowed down the mail. Grr. - Friday, September 21, 2001

Tezcuco Plantation

Java City Coffee Lid Instruction Prank
This guy is keeping the American Dream alive. - Thursday, September 20, 2001

Nutella vs. Peanut Butter
This is nutritional information which Nutella puts our there. 21g of sugar for only 23g of carbs, yikes. But then again, comparing Nutella to PB is really not fair. Maybe comparing it to frosting...ooh, it's better than frosting. - Monday, September 17, 2001

Close-up of my new Stereo at Crutchfeild
This thing is such a peice of jewelry on my dash. It says, "Steal me!" The interior of my car is grey and black and this little silver and red thing really stands out. Note how Crutchfeild says the MSRP is $250 but if you go to the Sony link below it's $199, and odd how that's their sale price. Pirates! I got it for $179 at Best Buy. - Tuesday, September 4, 2001

My New Car Stereo: Sony Xplod 650
This is the official Sony Site for it. I might add the Crutchfeild site also, but as the deck is aging, I'm sure it will be dropped from them fairly soon. It is, however, killer. - Tuesday, September 4, 2001

How did they [or can you] move an Easter Island Head?
The message list with a link at the bottom has some great questions. It's all rather amazing. - Friday, August 31, 2001

Circus Trees
The art of weaving trees. - Thursday, August 30, 2001

Wild Horse and Burro Adoption
Cross Plains is about 1.5 hours to the north of us. We've been and looked at the horses up there and I'm curious whether I can talk Aisai into letting us go up there on the 8th of September, which appears to be the only auction there this year. We won't get one of course. - Wednesday, August 29, 2001

The Origins of Eno Eno I am Thruff
It's my favorite Doctor Seuss titled "Ough Ough or Why I Believe in Simplified Spelling" but often referred to as "The Tough Coughs As He Ploughs the Dough" - Tuesday, August 28, 2001

"Tuffy" Rosie-Red Fathead Minnows
This is what we have in the lab with the giant pleco. - Friday, August 17, 2001

Freshlook Opaques
These are the disposable colored contacts that I want so I can have blue eyes. Besides, with my tendency to shave my head, I could also dye my hair blue also. My wife would then burn me at the stake. - Wednesday, August 15, 2001

The Skinny on 10 Codes
While I'm talking about phone stuff, we tend to use 10-15-335 rather than actually having a long distance provider which charges us $5 a month. This site is like a database of call around codes and their prices, etc. - Thursday, August 9, 2001

1st-USA.com: A reseller of calling cards
We'll be out of our cell phone coverage when we go to Louisiana (unless Voicestream and Powertel get their act together quickly) so I'll need a calling card. We saved about 40 dollars with a $5 card when we went to Tampa last year. - Thursday, August 9, 2001

The Tennis Players are MUTANTS
I was looking at colored lenses like Wild Eyes etc, just for fun (since they cost too much) and noticed these freaks. - Wednesday, August 8, 2001

How to read chinese shockwave animations
These are pretty fun. - Tuesday, August 7, 2001

Summary of the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992
You asked for it and you got it. Here's the document you can ponder over to wonder about the legality of MP3s. - Monday, August 6, 2001

What Baleens are made of
I finally put a link to the small amount of Baleen info that I could find on the interent. - Friday, August 3, 2001

Kobe Beef comes from Wagyu Cattle
And I told Aisai that I'd find a picture of one, and here it is. - Thursday, August 2, 2001

OSHA's Take On Bungee Jumping From Cranes
And they say it so well, too. - Wednesday, August 1, 2001

Review of the WOWThing
Hey, I just bought one of these [with my clothing money, oop]. This review has a link to the company site, which has a cool little demo. Oh, and I'm not so stupid that I got the clear one for five dollars extra. - Friday, July 27, 2001

OCS Physical Training Page
That PDF file is one of the smartest workout plans I've seen. I tend to mention that I'm going to start doing this every once in a while, but...eh...I procrastinate. - Friday, July 27, 2001

The Pointy Birds
It's a poem. - Wednesday, July 25, 2001

Nokia Snake II
My favorite phone game. They have it set up here with the walls up. That's lame. My high score is 1835, which I think I was on level four or five when I got that. - Tuesday, July 24, 2001

Pagani Zonda
Every time in GT3 when I'm doing the European Challenge trying to get the car that has the outline of a LeMans style car, this car is the only one that really stands a chance against my Lotus Elise Motorsport [which is so cute in its neon green]. - Tuesday, July 24, 2001

Jam out to the POSTWOOD MARCH
Yeah! You'll have to scroll a little and have Realaudio. - Wednesday, July 18, 2001

Mitsubishi Starion: A Japanese Stallion?
It's the low torque peak that allures me to the Starion, aka Conquest Tsi. But this funny story had escaped me until my NASA contact emailed it to me. - Wednesday, July 18, 2001

Healing Sounds?
The page says that we're stupposed to reflect on some warm fuzzy new age thing and heal. All I could reflect on was, what on earth are these freaks thinking? You absolutely must start both at the same time and give them sufficinet volume. Bwah ha ha. I feel healed already. - Monday, July 16, 2001

AT&T's Text To Speech page
It sounds a lot better than bell labs one, but it limited to 30 words. And it kept pronouncing stuffo as Stoofo, so I had to spell it stuff oh. - Friday, July 13, 2001

Crazytalk
Get OUT!!! This could be cool. If only I had a use for it. - Wednesday, July 11, 2001

Go ahead, ruin Men In Black 2 for yourself
I really don't think reading this will ruin it. I'm really looking forward to this. Oh, and trek 10 is listed too. But I'm in an anti-trek funk right now. - Tuesday, July 10, 2001

Media Guy gets Tamagotchi when they were still the thing
Very good writer. Don't worry the text is not a lame as the menu screen. - Friday, July 6, 2001

Timex Internet Messenger Watch
Oh, my tired old Ironman Datalink is so outdated. This Timex can get email, weather info, it's a pager, and sets its own time off the pager RF bands. It even, if I drive across time zone lines, will detect it and set the time to the new time zone. [Postwood drywashes his hands and thinks materialistic thoughts]. - Friday, July 6, 2001

Tenchi Muyo MegaFAQ
Granted, I like the show. But these people have taken some serious time on this stuff. Yikes. - Thursday, July 5, 2001

Nongshim
Makers of Kimchi Bowl Noodle, Shin Cup Ramen, and those nice fresh noodles. Oh, and the Tempura Udon Bowl. Noodle heaven. [Note: This is the english page, and it seems the korean page has lots more stuff.] - Thursday, July 5, 2001

Our new chairs
We have two of these now. Very sturdy. I said to Aisai, "These things are build like bicycles, but they are so cheap. So why do bicycles cost so much?" - Monday, July 2, 2001

San Diego Zoo
Ever watch The Keepers on Animal Planet? Well, I did before it hit reruns an now I have TVGrid.com emailing me if there is ever a new show. When San Diego Zoo is run together, as in the URL, it looks like Sandie Gozoo. - Friday, June 29, 2001

SODAplay's Sodazoo
Not what you think, unless you already know what it is. Physics without need. - Friday, June 22, 2001

Bowl Noodle Review
Kimchi Bowl Noodle came in sixth, mainly due to one judge saying it tasted "stale". Freak. - Thursday, June 21, 2001

Yahoo News most emailed content
This is where I get most of my news. It's the stuff that was important enough for freinds to email it to one another. The pictures really never carry the heft that the stories do, however, as you'll see. - Wednesday, June 20, 2001

A.I. Official Movie Site
The robotics timeline alone gets this site listed here. I'd like to see a fake documentary on the history of the Belladerma company. - Friday, June 15, 2001

iKoreaplaza
Where I order all my Kimchi Bowl Noodle. Sometimes, by the case. - Thursday, June 14, 2001

Deleted Scenes from Voyager's Final Episode
The "I'm turning into my mother" scene made me have to add this. - Friday, June 8, 2001

Google Search: Kosher Coca-Cola
Actually, I'm really searching for the infamous "kosher for passover" 100% cane sugar Coca-Cola. That, in a glass bottle, would be nirvana. - Friday, June 8, 2001

The Music of 386 DX
A 386 DX does covers of rock classics and they actually made a CD? - Friday, June 8, 2001
