The technical term is "the Slashdot effect." It's an eight-meg Quicktime movie that's become the everybody's-gotta-see-this meme of the week, so I'm sure that their servers have melted. Someone will mirror it.

This just begs for so many tasteless jokes to be made, it's hard to know where to start.

I want one.

It's part of a series.

They also have a George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dennis Miller, and Don Rumsfeld.

After a long absence due to bandwidth overload, one of my all-time favorite web sites, the Jar-Jargonizer, is back.

P.S. I bet UT could find some uses for that Coulter doll.

The NASA Mars Program Video Gallery has 35 videos showing facets of the Mars Program from orbit insertion to parts design and machining. Good stuff.

Yeah that was an interesting one... tho I'm not sure it told anything we didn't already know. We probably got a good price on our minivan, but probably coulda done better on the tradein. Who knows?

Anyway. Do you like Friendster and its ilk? No? Well, then, maybe you should sign up for Introvertster.

Ok, this isn't a cool site - yet.

But it may become one in the future, it's only 9 days old you know...

OK, so it's actually crappy, but what the hell, boardx needs all the advertising it can get.

This is an ad that CBS refused to air during the Super Bowl. Heavy.
