Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday, November 28th, 2002

You can celebrate this year by Tofurky, the tofu-based turkey-substitute. There’s also a ton of recipies for using it. While you’re at it, you can adopt a turkey.
Also, Google has a turkey.
With other food-related "news", people are looking into cranberries as compost, make-up, and a culinary-based cure-all.

In case you haven’t heard (or read), National Geographic released the results of a survey. Apparently, not many people known where Iraq is located. Many don’t know where the Pacific Ocean resides. Around eleven percent of Americans cannot even point to the United States on the map!

Mozilla doesn’t have this problem, of course.

Where (and what) in the world?

Friday, November 15th, 2002

In case you’re wondering where in the world North Carolina may be, VisitNC.com has a handy map, in case you get really lost. You can download a PDF of it, too. My favorite part is the handy hand pointing at the highlighted area. It’s great. You can’t miss it.
Luckily, the site is a useful in [...]

Frizzy or fuzzy?

Friday, November 15th, 2002

Concerned about your appearance? Be sure to check out the bad hair day forecast at Intellicast, in case you want to know if you need the extra hair spray in the mornings or not.
No; I am not making this up.
