Number Spirals are really cool. There is an elegance in the apparent symmetry that is kind of awe inspiring. Via

Respect the Tiki
Posted in Web on Apr 14th, 2004
Obviously, the characters in the animated movie, Souvenir, never saw that episode of “The Brady Bunch” where they go to Hawaii. If they had, then they would have known to respect the power of the Tiki. Via
Some People Are Smart
Posted in Science and Tech on Apr 12th, 2004
Scientific American has an article, The First Nanochips that details some of the challenges and solutions that develop as the semi-conductor industry races to build ever smaller/faster microprocessors. There are some seriously smart people who are building things that are incredibly small.

Holy Things that Really Suck Batman
Posted in TV on Apr 10th, 2004
Why on earth did I ever like the show Electra Woman and Dyna Girl when I was a kid? I mean I know kids have something like zero taste in this kind of stuff, but WOW that show was bad. Seriously, seriously, seriously bad. TV Land was running episodes, so naturally I TiVo’d it in [...]
It took me 74 moves to solve this java sliding puzzle, No-Off. You’re supposed to be able to do it in 44. Now I’ll have to spend the whole weekend trying to do better. Curse you Boing Boing! On a Mac, it seems to require IE. Don’t know what it requires on a PC.
