We were having the carpets cleaned at our house, and I was sitting at my desk in my home office. No chance of doing anything productive with carpet-cleaning machinery roaring all around. So I was plunking away at computer Solitaire.
The carpet guy noticed and said: "Solitaire, huh? It's funny, with all the high-tech games out there, the one I see people playing most is good old Solitaire." "It's my downfall," I said without looking away from the screen, too busy losing another game. "Keeps me from getting any work done." "You're in good company," he said. "Everywhere I go, everyone's playing Solitaire. Doctors and lawyers. Everyone." The true American addiction? Computer solitaire |

] "An experiment in language and interface, Plumb Design's
] Visual Thesaurus is both an artistic exploration and a
] tool to explore, study, and analyze the structure of
] language. By displaying the interrelationships between
] words and meanings as spatial maps, the Visual Thesaurus
] translates language into a visible architecture. " Type in a word, and you get an artistic representation of how that word is connected to other words, each of which you can click on to see how *they* are connected... A great tool, and a very pleasing visual interface, too. It's neat to see what it attaches to more obscure words, but to really see it blossom like a flower, type in one of those small slippery words such as "do" "have" or "go". Added note: You must have Java installed to see the cool visual effects. Visual Thesaurus |
