A marvelous set of essays that explains the art of the pickup, in language that's understandable to the high tech set. There's actually some awesome advice here, for *both* genders. (2/2003 update): Changed URL to a mirror site, since tuxedo.org seems to be gone. Sex Tips For Geeks |

Even with all the "slashdot effect" that my site was getting from the mention in Schneier's newsletter, including thousands of visitors attacking all at once, my personal site ran without a problem. The server stayed up, and there was plenty of bandwidth. Thanks HugMe! HugMe's Server Status |

An excellent collection of links to steganography utilities, sorted by Operating System. Used to be http://steganography.tripod.com, but evidently they recently got their own domain: stegoarchive.com Steganography Software |

If some international issue is not being covered by CNN (or slashdot), or if I want to get an outside viewpoint on an issue involving the U.S., I'll check the BBC news site. Especially if it's a matter affecting one of the European countries, the BBC is more likely to cover it in depth than any of the American news sources. BBC NEWS - World Edition |

Awesome up-to-the-minute news/rumors/commentary site with a high-tech high-IQ focus, and often covers things that the "traditional" media doesn't get around to (or just plain doesn't get). I have it set as my homepage. Slashdot: News for nerds, stuff that matters |

ROTTEN TOMATOES: Movie Reviews & Previews |

This is my favorite site for quickly scanning reviews of any new movie. It collates reviews from dozens of sources, and gives one line synopses of each review, along with a graphical aid of a "thumbs up" tomato or "thumbs down" splat to quickly get a sense of a movie's "freshness" rating. Whenever deciding whether or not to go to a particular movie, I check this site for the reviews, and I also check the rating at www.imdb.com. Of course, some movies, such as any Star Trek or Lord of the Rings flick, I'm going to see *regardless* of any reviews. ;) ROTTEN TOMATOES: Movie Reviews & Previews |

In my opinion, this is the finest collection of movie trivia on the web. Search on anything from movie titles to actors to sound engineers. Check bios, view movie posters, read famous quotes from each movie, and easily read community reviews of any film. Great stuff. The Internet Movie Database (IMDb). |
