- While wandering the net, I found a webpage about the dragonslayer sculpture in my hometown, which has been put there since I moved away. What you can't see in this picture is the incredible detail of the dragon. Its scales are actually the backs of stainless steel spoons, for example. It's really cool. |

- Recently I caught a theatrical showing of "X", aka "The Man with the X-Ray Eyes", followed by a Q&A with B-movie producing legend Corman himself. The film itself is unintentionally funny more often than not, has a few great scenes but is nothing to write home about. Corman, however, is delightfully full of stories n' jokes. Here are some highlights, for your interest: |

I don't know who the other clown is. |

- Netkwesties over websex en internetterreur in de schoolbanken: "Porno op de computer in het lokaal, een leerling die seksuele diensten van een klasgenoot op internet aanbiedt, een leerling die een ex dreigmails stuurt. Scholen zien zich geconfronteerd met de minder positieve gevolgen van al dan niet anoniem internetgebruik. Intussen worden leerkrachten eruit gesurft door de leerlingen. "Daarmee ga ik niet naar de meester, want die snapt er toch niks van". |

- Is SCSI faster than IDE? Some say SCSI used to be faster, but this isn't true anymore today. Others say SCSI is still the performance leader. I recently decided to enhance my workstation's hard drive, so I decided to do some testing, and I found out just which side is right. |

- It may not be easy to make sense out of a sentence that reads, “Museum set to seal time capsules with a Christmas tree,” unless you were actually there to see it tested. On October 13, Elco Manufacturing Company delivered the Christmas tree to the Kern County Museum in Bakersfield. Only it wasn’t a tall, evergreen covered with pine needles. No, it turns out Christmas tree is a term used to describe a piece of oilfield equipment configured of twisted pipes and valves, standing about seven feet high and weighing close to a ton. |
