Cleaning The Attic: A veritable garage sale of links:

• Columbian Drug Dealer Technology. I mentioned this article in Business 2.0 a week-ish ago. It finally hit the web. Check it out.


• Review of XM Satellite Radio at Ars Technica. Skip ahead a bit though the technical parts. I definitely want this in my new car.


• Metropolitan Museum of Art Timeline of Art History. Only done through 1400, but looks promising.


• More Clear Channel shenanigans. Are you getting sick of this yet?


• Conserving the world's oldest photograph. Here's the photo from 1826. Here's one from 1829.


• Spider silk (vs. silkworm silk) is the "Holy Grail of performance fibers." Now it can be made in quantity from the milk of genetically engineered goats. And coming soon: Eight Legged Freaks. Coincidence?


• The 2002 Webby Awards. I've been snubbed again.


• 'Big Booze Party' at a DUI meeting? Maybe they thought drinking was a public service. Maybe it is. Stupidity, however, isn't. On the other hand, it would probably go over well in a town with beer in the town hall soda vending machine. You can't make this stuff up.
