I was recently introduced to Tetrinet by a co-worker. Tetrinet a multiplayer online tetris games which supports up to 6 players. Ever since, I've been addicted to Tetris. I play Tetrinet at home, play Tetris on my Treo, and lately, I've even started dreaming about tetris. I think it's fair to say that I'm addicted to tetris.

When I was in high school, I used to dream about playing Doom, but I've never dreamed about such a "boring" game as Tetris. It's a truly amazing game.

I love dinosaurs. Dinosauricon is a cool site which loads of dinosaur information and images (warning: that page has a huge number of large images on it). Check out the art gallery for an orgainized listing.

William Saffire (a man with whom I do not often agree) has an excellent editorial in todays New York Times about the Information Awareness Office which will be granted amazing powers by the Homeland Security Act: You Are a Suspect.

The Information Awareness Office is a DARPA agency with a freakishly Orwellian/Illuminatus logo (the eye in the pryamid is watching over the world) and the motto Scientia Est Potentia: Knowledge Is Power. The man who heads this office is John Poindexter, who orchestrated the Iran-Contra affair for Reagan. Do you want him in charge of your privacy?
