Back in the day: A very interesting history of the warez scene on AOL.

Marking Martian craters has never been so easy, or so much fun!

This is an experiment in distributed computing, where volunteers can log on and classify Martian craters, work that is easy but very time-consuming. According to the site, “Since inception on November 17, 2000, all clickworkers combined have contributed 15947 crater-marking and 4398 crater-classification entries.” It’s much more entertaining than playing Solitaire.

Possible Unxmaal.com feature: Big Linkage. It’s supposed to be a script that goes through my archives, finds the links, and lists them on one big page. I suck at Perl, so any pointers would be much appreciated.

With this handy calculator, you can see just how many cans of Mountain Dew it’d take to kill you.. or turn you into Muad’Dib!


It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of Sapho
that thoughts acquire speed,
the lips acquire stains,
stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

Special thanks to Katie, for showing me the road to immortality.
