Alcohol
I found a great feature at the New Scientist on alcohol: Everything you ever wanted to know about the stuff but were too drunk to ask. link via Looka!
ernest.hemingway.com
The Ernest.hemingway.com website is a very nicely-designed tribute page. I can’t find any “official” relationship to the author, but there are some good biographical bits here and it’s certainly a good place to visit if you’re interested in the author’s personal life.
Encarta on Ernest
This isn’t exactly a hard link to find, but I thought I’d mention that there’s a Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Article on the author. It’s very much what you would expect; basic information. It would probably be useful for a student writing a report, though, so I decided to link it here.
Dangerous Jobs
According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), farm workers are risking their lives every time they enter a manure pit.
Confusion
A nice summary of the situation: Ok, so Spurrier leaves and is replaced by Zook who was once demoted by Spurrier in favor of Bobby Pruett who left to coach Marshall (in exchange for Billy Donovan) only to lose off coord Ed Zaunbrecher to Zook, in order to fill the offensive hole left by Spurrier

I really hope I can finish working on it tonight so I can have v 0.1
Amazoniversary
Three years ago this month I made my very first purchase from Amazon.com. They sent me a coupon for a $10 discount on any purchase over $50 to celebrate my Amazoniversary. Is this a cheesy marketing gimmick? Yes. Does it work? Yes. I probably won’t even use the coupon; it expires on January 31st. But
flastmod
Ever hear of the flastmod include? Me neither. Here’s what it does. You can use it just like a #include directive server-side include, except instead of including a file, it returns the last modified timestamp of the file you request. If you’re using SSI in your site, add: <!– #flastmod file=”index.shtml” –> to any parsed
MicroPoll
A few people have asked me about the MicroPoll in use on the “FingerTouch” post. I snagged it from Technoerotica! Any time you see anything interesting here at davidgagne.net relating to code or web design or blogging, there’s a better-than-even chance that I’ve described how I did it (or written a tutorial even!) on my
