WELCOME
If you're a first time reader, here's what you've found: A home page of general-interest drivel updated a few times each week. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's awful, but it's always free. And once an item is gone, you'll never see it again. If you have something to contribute, just send me an e-mail to daryl@psu.edu. Comments are always welcome.
Trust me: This site looks much cooler when viewed with the latest version of Netscape or Internet Explorer.
Did you get here accidently through an e-mail or ICQ forward? You're probably trying to find The Curse of a Thousand Chain Letters.

Saturday marks the debut of Apple's bizarre new iMac computer. Most of the talk has focused on whether this computer can revive the glory days of the Macintosh, or if it will be the most spectacular corporate failure since Atari released the Jaguar.
Meanwhile, columnist Mac the Knife draws eerie comparisons between the iMac and several other gems of manufacturing:

Grey day: Yay or nay?
October 1, 1998 is the first Internet Grey Day, on which artists around the Internet will turn their pages grey and bland to protest Internet copyright violations. It seems unlikely to generate as much support as the blackout a few years ago when the Communications Decency Act passed and many web sites, including Yahoo!, turned their pages dark.
Just can't get enough
On January 26, President Clinton said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky" and banged his fist on the podium. Thanks to the miracle of the Internet, you can watch it over and over again!
