Summer's Lease
Log F2K
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

Sonnet XVIII
by William Shakespeare
 

Off to the right is TROPICAL STORM DANIEL
11 AM HST SUN JUL 30 2000


 
TROPICAL STORM DANIEL, 8AM TUE AUG 1 2000

Daniel moved to the north of Hawaii yesterday, and this morning it is stalled up there. Weather man says: Rain tonight.

After all the hype, the panic buying of bottled water and flashlight batteries, this storm has fizzled. It did provide for some great graphics at Hawaii's weather page.


 
 
Take a look over the Edge: "Of course we must be open-minded, but not so open-minded that our brains drop out."
For an Internet perspective, take a look at the Web Principia Cybernetica. It tries to tackle age-old philosophical questions with the help of the most recent cybernetic theories and technologies.

Perhaps you'd like something a little closer to the earth, something more...mundane?

Has your city got cows hanging around on the corners? Life-sized fiberglass  individuistic multi-colored polyester cows? Companies
sponsored the cows, gave them to artists to decorate, and then
sprinkled the decorated cows throughout New York and Zurich. As this idea is very catchy they may be coming to your town soon. Catch them on Cowparade.net, pardner.
 

has created hundreds of  strange and wonderful  icons to decorate  and  punctuate your  webwork or html aware  email. Click on any little image to go to Pardon My Icons.

"Welcome To The Bobby Bucks Appraisal Ranch Where Manufactured Homes Are Works of Art!"  Trailers for sale, in all price ranges; his comments are priceless!

Did you know that there are hundreds of beautiful ladies sitting in prison, just waiting for someone to love and care about them? Did you know that Jailbabes.com will sell you their addresses for $7.00 apiece? Wish you could un-know that?

An Idea whose time has come: The One Finger Keyboard. Key placement is conditioned by the frequencies of letters in the English language. Try it out for yourself to see that finger travel is significantly reduced compared to the standard qwerty layout. Click on it for the details.
The track well traveled: the web's most clicked links as independently rated by ROIbot.com, a marketing and PR firm. Predictable, but interesting.

Synge.com claims the ultimate pop culture experience. The link is to their sex section and if you just sit around laughing all day, whose gonna do the dishes?

Beware the BradLands. It's a time-sink and quicksand for the mind.

They created PlanetFeedback so that consumers could harness the power of the Internet to make their voices heard. Reward the companies who get it right and chastise the ones who get it wrong.

So, you think that it's a really hard program to figure out? See if it's won any awards at The Interface Hall of Shame, an irreverent collection of common interface design mistakes.
