Egosurfing…

Web Focus: Reflections On WWW9, by Brian Kelly.

“It was interesting to observer that several participants at the conference used Weblogs to write their trip reports, as illustrated below. [Screenshot of http://serendipita.org/amsterdam/english/]

As well as Andrea’s Weblog [26] David Singer [27] and Dave Winer [28] have also written Weblogs about the conference.”

Lots of data

“InfoNation is an easy-to-use, two-step database that allows you to view and compare the most up-to-date statistical data for the Member States of the United Nations.” You can compare up to seven coutries and up to four data fields at a time.

Astronomy

“The Bad Astronomy web pages are devoted to airing out myths and misconceptions in astronomy and related topics.”

For example, he notes that the characters in Star Wars Episode I have only one shadow, even if they are on a planet in a system with two suns…

By the way, there seems to be a faulty Java Applet on that page. My browser crashed twice while loading the home page. Then I disabled Java, and voilà – everything is working just fine.

Another beautiful sunny day…

… but no bike tours today. And no photos. Promise!

 

This is the official Behind the Curtain sticker – now available in German, too! If you want to know about the project, click it to get all the info. If you run a weblog, you can participate, too! – So far, 17 participants have signed up.
