Enterprise and Buffy return to St. Louis

Okay, so only about three readers will care about this,
but I’m one of those three. :-)


WHSL, channel 46, will be carrying Buffy The Vampire
Slayer and Enterprise from now ’til April,
in the not-so-hot Friday night timeslot. (Hey, it’s better than the “musical chairs” timeslot they had last year.) Read
this article
for the long and sordid story of how they ended up on the Home Shopping Network.

Death Comes To "Death Comes To Time"

For those who just can’t get enough of Jelly Baby-wielding weirdoes: Remember about a year ago, when we reported on a Doctor Who radio play that was made available online? Well, if you haven’t gotten round to listening to it yet, you’d darned well better. The BBC is reporting that the first episodes will cease to be available after this weekend, leading up to the audio CD release of the programme.

Donate your brain to science!

From your friend and mine, Anonymous Coward: In a goodwill gesture, many Internet users donate their computer’s spare
CPU time to massively distributed computing projects such as SETI@home or Distributed.Net for the advancement
of science, but how many of us have donated our spare BRAIN power? Two
heads are better than one, and in the case of online, Internet-based
psychology experiments, many thousands of heads can rapidly speed the pace
of science. The American
Psychological Society is currently sponsoring a variety of quick and
easy online
experiments that range from simple and anonymous surveys to interactive, graphical
experiments. Online experiments can provide an entertaining way to
spend a coffee break but can also teach you about the human brain; each
experiment provides a scientific explanation of the study once
completed. Donate your spare brain power today!
