| Wednesday Sep, 29 1999 | After reading Tom's Hardware Guide for a little while, I thought I was the shit. I felt confidant in overclocking celerons, video cards, and generally pushing my machine. Then I started reading Ars Technica. With articles like their SMP smackdown, What to do with iMacs, and Damage labs advice columns, I've brought my useless knowledge of the nearly obsolete to a truly "pimptastic" level. to Computing by akk |

| Monday Sep, 13 1999 | Until a few months ago, I had lost all faith in television. But then the Food Network brought me hope and fulfillment. Billed as "Ultimate Fighting Champion meets Julia Child", Iron Chef is a dubbed & subtitled show from Japan where every week a challenger must compete in Kitchen Stadium against one of the Iron Chefs, a select group of expert chefs. With much drama and fanfare, the Iron Chef and challenger then have 1 hour to create gourmet dishes celebrarting a theme ingredient. The unofficial fan site at IronChef.com provides more info and episode summaries. In my opinion, this is by far the best show on television today. to Television by akk |
| Thursday Sep, 9 1999 | With Java, Sun finally brought 1960's programming language technology to the world. Someday
maybe Sun will take heed of
Request For Enhancement #4064105: Compile-time type safety with parameterized types
and bring us early 1990's technology.
Until then, we've got Generic Java, which adds polymorphic types to Java and still compiles into
standard Java bytecode. to Computing by akk |
| Wednesday Aug, 18 1999 | I'm not sure where I stand amongst the other 43,000 or so
SIGGRAPH '99 attendees, but I thought the Morphable Model for the Synthesis of 3D Faces paper was much cooler than Teddy. From a single image of a face, this system can make a fully animated 3d model that is frightenly realistic. to Computing by akk |

| Thursday Jun, 10 1999 | ThirdVoice is a browser plugin that talks to remote
servers to implement one of my favorite
features of NCSA Mosaic 1.2 (circa 1993): distributed annotations. Every time you look at a web page, the plugin asks a Third Voice server for comments
left by others and then displays them inline. The most amusing part is how
scared some webmasters are knowing they have no recourse other than propaganda. to Web by akk |

Unlike Sun's full JVM for the Palm OS, waba
has a small footprint, and provides native support for serial I/O and native databases. to Computing by akk |
