Gosh, a ZX Spectrum emulator in Java. Hadn’t thought of the day when the most powerful computer I had once touched would be reduced to an applet.

The deaf use mobile phones through SMS. Good idea.

Looplabs. Make your own music with a Flash synthesizer. I still have no clue how to work the controls.

Spyware.

Pity… Netsurfer’s Digest now costs $20 a year. They’d been hinting about it for a while. I’d probably pay for it, if there weren’t alternatives. I find myself using them less, and substitutes like Metafilter are pretty good too.

Reviews of Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson, Stephanie Zacharek). Full of glowing praise, but with a kind of detail I liked.

Eric’s treasure trove of life. It’s about Conway’s Game of Life. It’s got animations, details about the authors of these patterns, and references.

The Onion on Indo-Pakistan tensions.

The Lord of the Rings, by various other authors.

All you ever wanted to know about which side of the road to drive on.
