Weekly Reader: Interesting links to keep you feeling Shower Fresh!
  • Drop your digital camera in water and you may be pleasantly surprised by the images that come out. Or you may think they are scenes from the spirit world. Oooohh.

  • I shall come out of a shallow closet and point out that I played Dungeons and Dragons as an adolescent - and you can wipe that condescending smirk off your face. The originator of the game that launched a million geeks, Gary Gygax, recently sat for an interview with some modern day geeks. If you were an early geek, it's a trip down memory lane.

  • Speaking of early geekdom, I remember spending an unconscionable amount of time at the video arcade in the early eighties. I was a killer Missile Command player, but there was no doubt that Asteroids was probably the most popular game. TwinGalaxies.com has found the highest scorer ever in Asteroids. A bit late, turns out he died in an accident a few years ago, but he gets his posthumous due.

  • File this under Really Bad Marketing.

  • If you ever need to do research, Reference Desk is probably a good place to start. Links to everything.

  • If you are a screenwriter, or a screenwriter wanna-be, or just interested in movie scripts, INflow's Screenplay Repository has tons of scripts available for download. The even have Ferris Buellar.

  • You can get thoroughly MODern at GoMod.com. Cool design. I love retro.

  • It's a dog's life. Kids and Dogs can live like royalty in luxury homes. You can raise little Donald Trumps. That's messed up.

  • More games, this time, javascript versions. Try Frogger.
