• How to start a fire using only a soda can and a chocolate bar -- toothpaste I might have guessed, but chocolate surprised me.
• The 101 Dumbest Moments in Business for 2003, according to < i>Business 2.0
• A positively geekalicious thread in moominmolly's journal. Must read in a graphical browser; the user-icons matter.
• Lord of the Peeps. Yes, what it sounds like. "Bilbo Baggins! You don't look a day nearer your sell-by date!"
• Faulty intelligence led United States into war ... in 1898, 1917, 1964, 1983 ...
• The Annotated Pratchett File (thanks to silmaril), Discworld, Good Omens, etc. ... lots and lots of information here. Way too much for me to spend any more time looking at today, for there are things I must do and this will suck me in if I gaze upon it longer.
• (I was sure I'd read something about this before ...) Gibson unveils digital guitar and plans to start shipping them in April. Instead of a quarter-in phone plug, it's got an Ethernet cable.
• The McNoot ("My Church Needs One Of Those") award competition for church-related products. In the running is a karaoke-hymn machine. (It occurs to me that the ideas presented can sound terribly silly or terribly clever depending on whether one is thinking of how unusual they are or the odd juxtaposition of solemnity and gadgetry, or filling a need. It's probably worth noting that the first market Hammond tried to sell electric organs to was churches that couldn't afford pipe organs, and nobody thinks a Hammond B3 is silly nowadays.)
• Testing Classic Rock on British Children (From The Guardian by way of snarykman) "Eight songs were chosen to represent classic rock's rich tapestry - from the Who's legendary Substitute to Nirvana's vintage grunge masterpiece, Smells Like Teen Spirit. As well as gauging their opinions we tested their endurance by allowing them to stop the song when they became bored and posed the all important question: is this better than Busted?" The panel was three six year olds and three seven year olds. I found it amusing enough to share.

And finally, The Meme Project. (The concept of memes is explained at that URL, for anyone who has somehow missed the word so far, or who thinks it just means quizzes.) Yes, it's helping somebody with their homework ... participate or not as you see fit.

As a project for my Evolution Class, I need all of YOUR help. Copy the meme below into your own journal, then post a comment here linking to the post in which this meme can be found. Make sure the meme itself links back to this post, so that everyone who posts this meme, on my friendspage or not, can link me to their meme-post.
