Parrot Secrets

I mention the above to everybody I know. $400k in one year for a pdf describing how to take care of parrots? Is that true? What similar thing could you write about that would make you some money?

A Couple More Interesting Wired.com Articles

This one is about a guy that works very hard to memorize all sorts of things:

This one is about a long running hypertext-like vaporware project:

The project's webpage proudly says the project was started in 1960 and somehow it has jumped to 3D. I wonder what a 3D hypertext browser looks like. = )

Wired.com has a lot of good stuff.

The Cyphernomicon

This is such a great document:

I really like its outline format. More documents should be written in that way.

The Long Tail

http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/12.10/tail.html

That's an interesting and well done essay. The only question is "What could I do on the Internet to get my part of the tail?". I'd only have to make $200k a year. I could live on that.

The Internet is So Weird

Check out this "photo" of a huge wolf (Is it real? Hogzilla was real.):

I've Entered the World of Online Video

I've pretty much positioned myself to be an Internet phenomenon.

The Worst Idea on the Web?

Could CNN selling headline t-shirts be the worst idea on the web? I think maybe it is. All of the people in those pictures look like complete dorks.

Cyphernomicon

The Cyphernomicon is one of my favorite Net documents. I like its content but also its form. I think the outline form is awesome. It allows for a document that is very dense in information.

If you haven't seen this document yet, go and check it out.
