Eclectic Resources
A mélange of useful links from the sublime to the comedic. See
the weather, translate anything, read the comics and tour the cosmos. You
can pet Dock the Virtual Cat, bone up on nanotechnology and ubiquitous
computing, and look up "paradigm", all right here!

"On the planet Tranquille around KM849
(G-0) lives a little animal known as a "knafn". It is
herbivorous and has no natural enemies and is easily approached and may
be petted - sort of a six legged puppy with scales. Stroking it is very
pleasant; it wiggles its pleasure and broadcasts euphoria in some band
that humans can detect. It's worth the trip.
Someday some bright boy will figure out
how to record this broadcast, then some smart boy will see commercial
angles - and not long after that it will be regulated and
taxed.
In the meantime I have faked that name and
catalog number; it is several thousand light years off in another
direction. Selfish of me...."
