Vision Research Graphics, makers of state-of-the-art
VisionWorks hardware and software for vision research |

Worth a look at its new st00pid url is Daves
Bitchin Look at the Miami Dolphins, though youre likely to read as much
about Beavis and Butthead as you are about the Dolphins. Much like Ross Perot in 1992,
Dave has been threatening to retire from the race for the majority of his tenure on the
web. (Maybe its because the Stillers threatened to ruin
his daughters wedding.) |

At Main Sanitary Nag (Anagram
Insanity) you can type in a phrase and get back a (usually long) list of its anagrams.
Cobo-Lewis is an anagram of Web is co-ol. |

The Bud Ugly page, which showcases
all sorts of fancy-schmancy Netscape 3.0 and Internet Explorer 3.0 features in a truly
ugly fashion. Be sure to follow the links to fictitious companies for whom theyve
set up home pages whose comic value is superseded only by their bud-ugliness. Also great
fun is Torture Castro.
Youll want to visit Bud Ugly early and often to see their ever-expanding
multitude of high powdered websites form industry leaders around the glob! |

The Numerical Recipes page, where you can even read
full text-plus-graphics versions of Numerical Recipes in C (Postscript or PDF) or Numerical
Recipes in Fortran (Postcript or PDF) online.

Design Science, makers of MathType, a very nice
equation editor. These guys make the Equation Editor found in MS Word, WordPerfect, and
Claris Something-or-Other, but MathType is much more capable. Highly recommended. |

Americas Finest News Service, The
Onion used to be a print rag published in Madison, Wisconsin. Now its a print
rag published in Seattle, Washington. You might not want to know which issue is my
favorite. |

The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project
(Cognitive psychologists might wish to pay special attention to the Turing Test [Twinkie
vs Sophomore].) |

Real-time audio file archives of National Public Radios
Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Talk of the Nation. Because its
clickable, its very nice for looking up and listening to a specific story you may
have missed. ME generally gets posted about 12 hours post-broadcast, and ATC generally
gets posted within a couple days. You can also visit NPRs
own site, where you can hear the latest hourly 5-minute news broadcast in either 28.8 or 14.4
format. Or, visit the World Radio Network, from which you
can listen to all sorts of stuff from all sorts of countries, live on the web. Its
like shortwave radio for the net surfer. |

The Acoustical Society of Americas
demonstration of auditory analogues of Eschers forever-ascending staircase.
These are tones whose pitch changes unidirectionally, but never goes anywhere. Its
my favorite demo from their Auditory Demonstrations CD, which is very nice for helping to
teach students about psychoacoustic phenomena. |
