It's not a regular LCD monitor that tricks the eye into seeing a three-dimensional image - it's a glass sphere that looks like a crystal ball that creates a "360-degree spatial display" that can be viewed from any angle.

(Transformers) -Complete Collection Of UK Comic Books It's odd, you know? These are increadbly unpolished. The art is poor and inconsistent, the dialoge is crappy, but the ideas! There are some weird, very raw thoughts in these old comics, like Spark's flashback to 'Nam, and the autobots thinking that a drive-in was some kind of religious grounds. This is the transformers I remember and enjoyed. On a side note, the war between autobots and decepticons on earth is kinda neat. Picture that you take two teams of modren people, and strand them in caveman times. One is a group of well-adjusted citizans, teamed with the greatest leader of our time. The other is a millishia of heavely armed angrey people led by a strong-willed mad man. Now make them into giant robots.
Also: Spider-man shows up in issue 3!!!

Also, incase anyone is unaware, the new transformers show just blows chunks. It's so terrable. The voice action, the animation, the everything about the show. It's just bad. On an unrealated note, it's also gay. Really, that technocolor rainbow backround they use constantly, and you all know that Red Alert and The Yellow Robot are "interfacing," or whatever clever euphamisim you want to use for it. Ask alex, I'm sure he can think of one. It's such an awful show. I just blacked out and remembered old episodes of GOOD Transformers instead. Story of my life.

Q: Hold on. We're entitled to follow up, Ari -- this isn't homeroom.
MR. FLEISCHER: [Still trying to call on another reporter] Greg.
Q: Why won't you answer the question about whether or not -- he said there are going to be consequences --
MR. FLEISCHER: David, there are other qualified reporters in here, too, who can follow-up.
Q: I didn't say they were not qualified, Ari. I'm saying you're running it like it's homeroom, like we can't follow-up when you're refusing to answer a question that's been posed twice to you, directly. The Secretary of State said that there would be consequences. Why won't you say what they might be?
MR. FLEISCHER: [You guessed it:] Greg.
Q: Do you want to elaborate on what those consequences would be?
MR. FLEISCHER: I addressed it earlier. You heard what I said about consequences.
Q: You didn't address it, which is the point. But you can't tolerate that kind of dissent.

I actualy enjoy The Devils Panties a great deal. It's probaly not as big a sin as liking Spooner on Keenspot. Speaking of this, I watched Gidget today, on TV Land, a show about a 16 year old girl and her teenage problems, the spin off of a movie staring Sandra Dee. It was bad. BUT. But it was quite clear that this was orginal at the time. Now, that theme has been spun out into an entire sucky film genre, but then it was an orginal pop idea, and somehow, somehow it shows. A lot of firsts are hard to distinguish from the trite that follows, like Neromancer and Cyberpunk. Amazing.

I've got the theroy, right? See, it's all about sleep juices. Sleep juices are what your body produces because of being awake. It's a byproduct of consious thought. When you sleep, they get re-absorbed into your body. The juices are a semi-real thick fluid, with a consistensy of watery molasasas. If you stay awake too long, it begins to condense, so at first you feel a little more groggy, a little more heavy and stiff. But after a while, the sleep juices start to sink, so you become quite disorented and clumsy, but much more awake and aware, more so then you are normaly, because the normal sleap juices in your brain have sunk too. However, if you even recline a little bit, the sleep juices will slosh through your upper half again, causing a wave of painful need for sleep. Of course, if you stay awake too long, you'll drown in sleep juices till you fall un-awake. A little bit of sleep will make you more tired in the long run, as it causes the juices to flow, but it will reduce the overall juice level. Make sense? It does.

Steve Wozniak@Everything2.com "The phone system, with its complexity, vulnerability and illusion of privacy, is the natural home of the technological trickster. In Shakespeare, the prankster's domain is the enchanted forest. Today it is the mysterious convolutions of the communications network.
"Among his other activities, Woz collects phone numbers, and his longtime goal has been to acquire a number with seven matching digits. But for most of Woz's life there were no Silicon Valley exchanges with three matching digits, so Woz had to be satisfied with numbers like 222-1111.
"Then one day eavesdropping on cell phone calls, Woz begin (sic) hearing a new exchange: 888. And then after more months of scheming, he had it: 888-8888. This was his new cell-phone number, and his greatest philonumerical triumph.
"The number proved unusable. It received more than a hundred wrong numbers a day. Given that the number is nearly impossible to misdial, this traffic was baffling. More strange still, there was never anyone talking on the other end of the line. Just silence. Or, not silence really, just dead air, sometimes with the sound of a television in the background, or someone talking in English or Spanish, or bizarre gurgling noises. Woz listened intently.
"Then one day, with the phone pressed to his ear, Woz heard a woman say at a distance 'hey, what are you doing with that?' The receiver was picked up and slammed down.
"Suddenly, it all made sense, the hundreds of calls, the dead air, the gurgling sounds. Babies. They were picking up the receiver and pressing a button at the bottom of the handset. Again and again. It made a noise: 'Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep'.
"The children of America were making their first prank call.
"And the person who answered the phone was Woz.

Crossing Jordan is a great show. Why? Because, and of this I am certan, it was pitched by some NBC drone as "Quincy M.E. with boobs." And try as I may, I cannot think of a better sales pitch then that.
gus, how was wearing duct tape when it's not 20 degrees outside?
Speaking of Crossing Jordan, Jarod (from Pretender, not Subway) is on the show as Jordan's long lost insane brother, which is funny, since Pretender was pretty much canceled to make way for Jordan. I find this intresting, as NBC clearly knows it's target audince well enough to know that they'd want a Jarod apperance.
"You have the right to a bastard brother. If you do not have a bastard brother, the court will apoint one to you."
Despite it being a NBC prime-time drama, it's actualy quite good.

Trivia for Aladdin and the King of Thieves (1996) (V) -The first idea for this story line involved a villain from the Aladdin TV series named Mozenrath. The plot was that the hero and villain would turn out to be brothers. However (according to one of the writers) everyone thought they should steer away from the TV show and that, and the fact that they couldn't get in touch with 'Johnathan Brandis' (Mozenrath's voice), prompted them to move on to another relative of Aladdin's - his father.
Yeah, I can see that. It would'a been cool, since Mozenrath was a good villain. He sacrificed part of himself for power, and was enraged that Aladdin got his power (a genie) pretty much by luck. He was very classic villain, and had a cool skeletel hand.

I had three dreams last night. In the first one, the world was going to end in 142 hours, and so people were running around, doing the things they always wanted to do, but couldn't. For example, I bought a gameboy advance sp rx pro, which was very tiny; and my father bought a build your own segway kit.
The second dream, kind of a continuation of the first, in which the human race decides to survive the sun burning out by all turning into vampires. Unfourtantly, the oceans flash flood the planet and freeze, thus leaving everyone immortal and trapped in ice! Don't worry though, in four million years, the sun re-ignites, turning the oceans back into water, which reanimates all the vampires in the oxygen supersaturated water and changes their biochemesty to the point where everyone's body just emits a mix of plesure-incuding drugs.
The thrid dream, in which The Matrix is real, myself, Ian, kirk, nik, sam, and a few others must escape it. Varous bits include a car chase with me and nik in a Jeep being followed by an agent-empowered school bus in some bizzare new york-ish city; Me making friends with some sort of sentient "bug" in the matrix, they look like those tiny black things with mouths from The Maxx, and can merge and do all kinds of stuff; making plans with nate to use his house as bait, and then use the Maxx creatures to escape to my house; an african shaman (this is much in the vein of Mage, it starts to blend) joining us(he's got a pet lion, and we reffer to him as dream speaker). Oh yeah, and gus is there too, only the Technocriacy has their sights on her, and they make her into a trator. But it's cool, because she double crosses them in the end, and teams up with us as we get thourgh the Gate created by the shaman. Just in time too, because the Izz (now I remeber their name!) merge, and destroy the city. They also build a robot body that comes with us. So it's a happy ending.

Trivia for Final Destination (2000) -The story was originally the concept for an abandoned _"X-Files, The" (1993)_ television script.
You know, it would have made a great x-files episode. One of the best. But noooo, let's stretch it out two four times as long as it needs to be, and put in a bunch of characters that people hate. Hey, that's a great idea, cut and print!

Progressive Radio | Roger Ebert Interview
"I begin to feel like I was in the last generation of Americans who took a civics class. I begin to feel like most Americans don't understand the First Amendment, don't understand the idea of freedom of speech, and don't understand that it's the responsibility of the citizen to speak out....When I write a political column for the Chicago Sun-Times, when liberals disagree with me, they send in long, logical e-mails explaining all my errors. I hardly ever get well-reasoned articles from the right. People just tell me to shut up. That's the message: 'Shut up. Don't write anymore about this. Who do you think you are?'" Roger Ebert chats about dissent, celebrities, the power of film to effect change, and Moore."
You know, reading this, I realize that all my lifre I've thought of Ebert as little more then a joke (especialy after the Episode II review!) But he's really a very perceptive and intelegent person. As I type this, I just realized that he just mentioned Better Luck Tomorow, which the GP boys love. Strange and wonderful.

Man, biskets and gravey, what a breckfast treat.
My left eye won't stop twitching. For the past week and a half. I would really like it to stop. I'm a little worried it's from staring at a poor-res screen all day. Or maybe because I'm crazy. Regardless, I don't want to loose my eyes. If I could keep two body parts, they'd be my eyes. Four body parts, and I'd keep my arms too. Five, well, you get the idea.
So now that it looks like the spring time has stabalized, I've been seeing posters and whatnot for campus Assasin games. Eh. It's fun and all, but not so much when you can't at least use fake guns. Plus at collage, it's all just sneaking in on people in their dorms. And it's not as if I can top my last assasin victory. I still remember it as if it were yesterday. It was at Memorial, the game that Ward and someone else orgnized. My first target (and only) targert? Sarah Alsop. Say it again now. SarahAlsop. Now boggie. Anyway, it was the afternoon after one school day I made my plans. Ian and I had found the perfect weapon for the game, little one-shot orange Lugers that they sold at the doller store. I carred mine to the school play auditions. SarahAlsop would be there. I was rock solid cool. When SarahAlsop was on stage,I went over to Alex, and informed him that my target was SarahAlsop, and that I would offer him and her a ride home via the Autobot (my car). At some point in the journy, I would stop the car, yell a warning for him to close his eyes, and shoot SarahAlsop. Alex went on stage for his audion, SarahAlsop came off.
I told her the exact same thing, except this time, Alex was my "target."
The plan was fool proof. As we drove to SarahAlsop's house, I made a sudden stop in the parking lot behind the school. It was great, seeing both of their faces say "I'm totaly in on this awsome plan." I think SarahAlsop caught on, just a second after I yelled "BLIND!!" She must have seen what direction I was aiming the little orange luger at. She made a shirll cry as she tryed to escape, but the game was in my court. The spring in the luger went "boing" or whatever springs do, and Alex and I began to laugh.
The she ripped my keys out of my still-running car, got out of said car, and threated to throw them down a storm drain until alex convinced her that it was a bad idea. She was pretty grumpy on the way home, understandbly.
My next target was some loser dude I had never heard of, nor could find, so I gave up. Apparently, most people quit that way, the game had been a little too large I suppose. But man, what a kill!

Q. What is the origin of the samurai hairstyle?--Submitted by an anonymous visitor
A. The topknot, or chonmage was worn by Japan's warrior class before the Meiji restoration of 1867, when it was made illegal. Topknots are now generally only worn by sumo wrestlers. According to "The Japan Page" the topknot was designed to be worn under a warrior's helmet.

Klein Approaches Sprewell During Game
NEW YORK - Security guards had to escort fashion designer Calvin Klein back to his seat at a New York Knicks game after he walked up to Latrell Sprewell and talked to him in the middle of play.
Sprewell was about to inbound the basketball just before the end of Monday night's game against the Toronto Raptors when Klein got up from his courtside seat at Madison Square Garden and approached him. Then he grabbed Sprewell by the arm and struck up a conversation with him.
"I wasn't nervous," Sprewell said. "I was a little surprised, like, 'Is security going to come over here at some point or what?' I didn't know that was him."
Security did come over and ushered the 60-year-old designer back to his seat. After he sat back down, he yelled, "Sprewell!"
Representatives for Klein did not immediately return calls for comment Tuesday.
Sprewell declined to divulge what Klein said to him. The Knicks defeated the Raptors 100-90.
I REALLLLLLY want to know what he said.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this interview with Republican Sen. Rick Santorum. An excerpt:
Every society in the history of man has upheld the institution of marriage as a bond between a man and a woman. Why? Because society is based on one thing: that society is based on the future of the society. And that's what? Children. Monogamous relationships. In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality --

Why haven't cephalopods made it on land?@Everything2.com Anark: The 'neural wiring' of cephalopod eyes is, if not better, certainly more logical than that of mammalian eyes. The reason is that, evolutionarily, the cephalopod eye developed from the outside in: a photosensitive spot became a dimple, then a camera obscura eye and finally a lens eye. I know much less about the mammalian eye, but it developed from the inside out -- it descends from brain tissue, not skin tissue, in layman's terms (I use these because I am a layman). Thus, the optical nerve in a human eye needs to connect to the outer side of the retina, whereas in a cephalopod eye, it connects to the backside like any sane electrical engineer would do it (does your TV's antenna cable come out of the screen?). That means that cephalopods haven't got a blind spot, but mammals do.

I had a dream most odd lasts night. I'm not in this dream so much as I am an observer, I think I'm actualy watching on a screen or movie theater perhaps. The movie is entitled "Elmo" like the muppet, but the writing is in scary blood letters. The movie begins. Four of the boys from Holes are driving in Nik's grey van, through a sandy wasteland. It looks about evening time-ish. I don't know which four boys it was, because I have not read nor seen Holes yet. Regardless, they are driving to an abandoned drive-in theater in th middle of nowhere, it seems. They all intend to get drunk and hang around. It bothers me that the six-pack of bear is quite obviously a prop, because it looks exactly like Coca-Cola, only it says "Kola" on the front of the can. They get out of the van, and one of them asks, "hey, did Harriet make the trip?" and an suspensful chord plays. Another checks the trunk, and there's a medium sized shaggy dog there, and he says, "yeah, she's fine." Pretty anit-climatic. The dog snaches the "beer" out of the one boy's arms, and goes running. The same boy who opened the trunk, (wait, vans don't have trunks? -ed) chases after the dog, while the other's laugh and unload the secert stash of "beer" and super-soakers they have.
The camara changes POV now, over to a fuzzy fish eye lens, something closer to the ground then before. There's heavy breathing, and something is moving and shambling about the abandoned snack shelter. The three boys not chasing the dog head over to the screen to drink and hang out, while the one boy finialy catches the dog, and brings it back to the van. As he get's inside, the camara switches to fuzzy view again, and rushes at the van as a quzical look, then horror, appers on his face. There's some scary music, and some typical scary movie camara work. The other boys take nodice that first boy is missing, and so they go to the van to check. They find him impaled (dun dun da~!) with a S-curve street sign, twisted like, you guessed it, an S. Irony, hey. The van then beings to shake, and a high piched laughter is heard, panic abounds.
Detales are fuzzy at this point, I just remember bits and pieces, like I decided at this point that the movie wasn't worth my attention, or maybe I just fast-fowarded through a bunch of it. Regardless, I'm later talking to Alex, we're walking up what apperes to be a full-sized spiral staircase in my dorm room, which is geometricly quite intresing, since it's imposable from at least twelve points of view. I'm telling him about how much the movie sucked, and explaing how elmo was the killer, and how he went mad after a screening of the The Muppets Take Manhatan at that very drive-in, because he wasn't in the movie. I also bring up the fact that they held Elmo at bay with the super-soakers, because water makes him damp, and nothing's worse then a damp muppet, but he gains strentght both phsysacly and mentaly from rocking. Something to do with the vibrations. Also, I have also writen the word "ninja" a few times in the scrachpad I use to quick record ideas from dreams when I wake up. I don't remember where a ninja fits in, but I'm sure it does.

Local Officials Rise Up to Defy The Patriot Act (washingtonpost.com) Arcata was one of the first cities to pass resolutions against global warming and a unilateral war in Iraq. Last month, it joined the rising chorus of municipalities to pass a resolution urging local law enforcement officials and others contacted by federal officials to refuse requests under the Patriot Act that they believe violate an individual's civil rights under the Constitution. Then, the city went a step further.
This little city (pop.: 16,000) has become the first in the nation to pass an ordinance that outlaws voluntary compliance with the Patriot Act.

Blake at 9:50:00 PM
Ladies and Gentalmen, Warren Ellis: I still get asked with appalling regularity "where my ideas come from."
Here's the deal. I flood my poor ageing head with information. Any information. Lots of it. And I let it all slosh around in the back of my brain, in the part normal people use for remembering bills, thinking about sex and making appointments to wash the dishes.
Eventually, you get a critical mass of information. Datum 1 plugs into Datum 3 which connects to Datum 3 and Data 4 and 5 stick to it and you've got a chain reaction. A bunch of stuff knits together and lights up and you've got what's called "an idea".
And for that brief moment where it's all flaring and welding together, you are Holy. You can't be touched. Something impossible and brilliant has happened and suddenly you understand what it would be like if Einstein's brain was placed into the body of a young tyrannosaur, stuffed full of amphetamines and suffused with Sex Radiation.
That is what has happened to me tonight. I am beaming Sex Rays across the world and my brain is all lit up with Holy Fire. If I felt like it, I could shag a million nuns and destroy their faith in Christ.

Matrix Review Here’s a question: what if the Wachowski brothers’ 1999 film The Matrix was not just an entertaining piece of sf-action-adventure hokum. What if, instead, it is all true? Imagine it as a message sent via the medium of the Matrix itself (Hollywood cinema) from someplace outside the Matrix, to wake us up to our human condition, to alert us all to the fact ‘that we are slaves’. If so, then we are not living the lives we thought we were living; we are instead inhabiting a virtual reality composed by oppressive machine-intelligences. What if this were literally true? How would it appear to us? Well, clearly, it would appear exactly as our lives presently appear to us. Unless we get ‘unplugged’, unless we become enlightened, we cannot see past the illusion that has been created for us.

Until earlier this afternoon, a CNN server housed mock-ups of web pages announcing the yet-to-happen deaths.

Conspiracy freak's delight: Missing 1998 Time article by Bush, Sr. on why a full-on Iraq war would be a bad idea
The March 2, 1998 issue of Time ran a piece by George Bush and Brent Scowcroft titled, "Why We Didn't Remove Saddam." Here's an excerpt from the article:
"We would have been forced to occupy Baghdad and, in effect, rule Iraq. The coalition would instantly have collapsed, the Arabs deserting it in anger and other allies pulling out as well. Under those circumstances, furthermore, we had been self-consciously trying to set a pattern for handling aggression in the post-cold war world. Going in and occupying Iraq, thus unilaterally exceeding the U.N.'s mandate, would have destroyed the precedent of international response to aggression we hoped to establish. Had we gone the invasion route, the U.S. could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land. It would have been a dramatically different -- and perhaps barren -- outcome. "
