Truly this bacon sandwich is indeed deluxe. But served with Wild Turkey? Really? Wouldn't a nice lager be better? I'm sure Joel would recommend a wheat beer. Instead of spending this weekend with 537,821 of your closest friends at Walmart saving $2.50 on Tickle Hands Elmo, why not swing by the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History in their brand new building?
Bacon. Dental. Floss. Advice I can get behind from management guru

An online clock made from scroll bars. Computer trivia from A to Z (who knew that Gmail was original codenamed Caribou). Not to be outdone, here's the history of the internet. And its weight. And proof that the internet didn't invent idiocy. Sideways Google and 80 degrees Google (darn those CSS pranksters).
Time remains to submit your entry for the ugliest visualization contest. 'tis the season for contests: TraceParts wants you to create a Christmas tree.

Sweet funky jimmy! Check out these Mandelbulbs, Mandelbrot fractals in 3D. Where does Microsoft get off trying to patent Tufte's sparklines? (Note: I am not an attorney, but I'd like to play one on TV because the pay's better.) Check out the image gallery at the Census of Marine Life; if your body is translucent so I can see your intestines, you deserve to live at the bottom of the ocean.

I've done two geocache series based on scale models of the solar systems. The one in Boston (GCB6DA) has one find the informational plaques scattered throughout the metro area. I found the Sun and Mercury through Saturn before calling it a day. Mars was a hoot because it was on the second or third story of a mall, tucked discreetly into the corner.
The second series was local (GC1A956, more traditional boxes with scale-sized drawings the kid made for his science project. To add to the challenge, it included the eight planets and three dwarf planets. Almost disappointingly, the "bonus" hasn't been identified.
Jim: isn't bicycling hard enough without having to go on a scavenger hunt at the same time? It would be like simultaneous fencing and baking.
