Paul's (Extra) Refrigerator
http://hamjudo.com/cgi-bin/refrigerator
Geeks have hooked everything from soda machines to coffee pots into the Net, but this refrigerator is a first. Paul Haas--who has his hot tub specs on another page--wants to tell us what's in his fridge and how cold it is inside. I'm waiting for the Mystery Tupperware Monitor before I go back.
Democracy in Action: The Electronic Barbershop
http://www.science.mcmaster.ca/csc/moylek/choices.html
This page is a good example of how digital democracy would work if Newt has his way and we all vote, all the time, on all the issues, on the Net. In the Electronic Barbershop we pick Ken's coif: Klassic, New Fresh-Look, or Kompromise. As if I didn't have enough to do, now I'm responsible for some guy's hair. Sheesh.
Tarot
http://cad.ucla.edu:8001/tarot
No more goat sacrifices in my house now that Netscape reads my future. The tarot cards fall where they may--right side up, upside down--but what do they mean? As far as I can figure from the cards I got, I want to be Emperor of the World, but disaster will follow when I assume the throne. Sounds about right.
Lunch Server
http://physics.purdue.edu/~sho/lunch_main.html
I thought I'd seen it all. But thanks to Sho Kuwamoto, a grad student at Purdue, I now have Lunch Server. Each day (to tell you the truth, I don't check it every day) Sho lists what he's having for lunch. Click on the paper sack and he tells all. Now if we just had his mom's phone number, we could rat him out when he's not eating right.

The Unofficial Brady Bunch Home Page
http://www.teleport.com/~btucker/bradys.htm
The movie may have been a big hit (what does that say about us as a culture?) but those of us who actually lived through the '70s know that the Brady Bunch was simply existentialist TV hell. Even Ward Cleaver had more personality than Mike Brady. This unofficial home page is jammed with Bradymania, from an episode guide to the theme song, with filmographies of the original and film casts in between.
Magic 8-Ball
Forget the Ouija Board; go for the real soothsayer, the Magic 8-Ball. Remember? It was that plastic ball filled with blue liquid that, when upended, gave you vague answers to your questions about the future. Now that we're all high-tech, we can use the Internet's version instead. The answer to your question, by the way, is "Perhaps, but not now."
Jeff Spicoli

Here you can download Spicoli-isms in both audio and video form, and save them for posterity (or play them on your machine). What better way to honor Jeff Spicoli than to waste time doing this?

PhoNETic
http://www.soc.qc.edu:80/phonetic/
Those clever folks in marketing--they probably spent all day making up a cool seven-letter word to match the company's phone number. You know, dial (800) FLOWERS or (800) NOPANTS. Clever, but not as clever as you. Just surf to PhoNETic, type in a number or word, and it spills back a list of possible matches so you can give yourself one of those cute phone numbers. Requires a forms-based browser.
POPClock Projection
http://www.census.gov/cgi-bin/popclock
There are just too many darn people, aren't there? Jammed highways; that long line at McDonald's; OK, even the wait for a simple cup of coffee because some pinhead orders a double latte instead of the real thing. For a depressing moment, hit this page, which estimates the up-to-the-minute population of the United States. For a really big downer, go back to it a couple of hours later and compare the numbers.
The Bermuda Triangle
http://tigger.cc.uic.edu/~toby-g/tri.html

Debunking the bunk of the Bermuda Triangle, the world's oddest patch of ocean, this page explores the mysteries and myths and then offers a skeptic's take on the Mary Celeste and other hoary legends.
