Close Encounters of the Unwanted Kind!
In case you didn't know, Nature publishes short SciFi under the heading
Futures in in every issue (look at the bottom of the ToC). This week's
Future - MAXO
signals is particularly funny.
See here
for more Futures (free, I think). And there's one
by Clarke published in '99

Tough, definitely...
... sweet makes me puke! Read the June
5 Sunday
Morning Photographer to see where you are (if...). While you are at
it, read the one about Modes
too. That's a good one.
Meanwhile, I've been using the VGA camera on my
PM-225 quasi-regularly. I *might* start some sort of a photoblog once I
get the connection software.

The Physics of Everyday Life
Found this fantastic page today: How
Things Work It's maintained by a physics professor in the University
of Virginia. Do check it out.
You can no longer have your own
questions answered, at least not for free, but the ones that are already
on the page should cover whatever you want to ask ;)
