Sauron's Kingdom - Moscow
"For the second year in a row Moscow has been the world's most expensive city. After calculating the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive than New York. The Russian capital is choked with luxury cars, upscale construction projects and a new financial self-esteem. If Lenin had ever been buried he'd be rolling in his grave now.

Color Pencils Reviewed
"Today I acquired a set of color pencil devices. You can get them in certain specialized shops. Note the device color range greatly varies by manufacturer; mine wasn’t even in the 6 bit range, producing only up to 24 colors when displayed. Invitations are not required for usage of color pencils though the service is paid only, with unfortunately no trial period."http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2008-02-11-n78.html

Ant simulator
"This game is an example of a simple "Artificial Life" program. Although the ant's behavior looks random, it is not at all. In the most general terms, each ant is a simple moving thing which travels according to some simple rules."http://www.mcrit.com/Complexity/applets/boid.html

4096 Color Wheel Version 2.1
"HSV is an alternate color map which is more user-friendly. Hue means the color itself. In HSV color wheels like the 4096 Color Wheel, hue corresponds to the angle, with pure red at 0 degrees and green around 120 degrees. Saturation is the amount of color present. A saturation of 0 mean no color - that is, pure white, black, or grey. A saturation of 1 (or 100%) means full color. Value is sometimes called brightness - a value of 0 is black, while a value of 1 (or 100%) indicates a pure color or pure white."http://www.ficml.org/jemimap/style/color/wheel.html
Top Nokia N95 tips
"The N95 has lots to recommend it, from the 5 megapixel stills camera and VGA video capture at 30fps to the built-in GPS, stereo speakers and standard 3.5mm audio out. There's also the very latest Symbian OS and S60 versions, with multimedia functionality thrown in by the bucketload."http://3lib.ukonline.co.uk/tipsn95.htm

Free Online Word Processors
"Word processing software is one of the most common applications found in offices and homes around the world. The top two word processors, Microsoft Word and Corel's Word Perfect, are very capable, but are also expensive and require a lot of disk space on your computer. There are some excellent free and open source word processors you can download, but you still have to install and maintain the software. And all of these are "landlocked" in the sense that it's difficult to collaborate and share documents with others online.Fortunately, there are several free online web-based word processors that you can use to create, edit, publish and share files online -- without having to purchase or install any software. Here are reviews of the online word processors that are leading the pack..."

Video Hosting
" There are alternatives to YouTube. One of the most popular is Yahoo Video which has been around for some time. Facebook recently added the ability to upload videos, no doubt in an attempt to keep up with MySpace. Both of them are simple to use, but you will still have plenty of competition if you want to get noticed. Here are some alternatives to YouTube, Yahoo, Myspace and Facebook, for people who want to share their videos with the world."http://askbobrankin.com/video_hosting.html
A Deluge of Facts KOs OOXML (Office Open XML)
BSI (British Standards Institution) - “The compelling need exists for an open document-format standard that is capable of creating and preserving the billions of documents that have been created in the preexisting binary formats…” This does not mean that the standard has to be a new XML representation of the preexisting binary formats. There is already an open document-format standard that is capable of preserving the documents, and that already has widespread use and for some time its evolution has “enjoyed the checks and balances afforded by an open standards process.”

Tips for using The GIMP
"Read this page to get the most from using GIMP. I hope that these will make your life with The GIMP easier. This article is the result from a couple of years experience with using the Windows-version of The GIMP regularly. The GIMP used to focus on functionality (which is good) instead of being userfriendly. However, with GIMP 2.x this has changed. Now the software is much easier to use and understand."http://members.home.nl/m.weisbeek/gimp/
7 Things You Didn't Know about Tibet
"3. Tibetans have never heard of their famous religious text The Tibetan Book of the Dead. What is known in the West by that title is a short Tibetan work, the Bardo Thodol, meaning "Liberation through Hearing in the Intermediate State." It is a mortuary text, read over a dead or dying person to help him or her escape from rebirth or, if that's not possible, to have a good rebirth in the next life. It is an example of a genre of similar texts used in one of the four sects of Tibetan Buddhism. It became the most famous Tibetan text in the West after Walter Wentz, a wealthy American Theosophist, traveled to India in the 1920s, and commissioned a translation. Wentz then added his own commentary, transforming the Tibetan mortuary text into a Theosophical treatise. The text has lived on through several reincarnations, including one by Timothy Leary that uses the Tibetan text as a "flight plan" for an acid trip. Leary's book (The Psychedelic Experience: A Manual Based on the Tibetan Book of the Dead) is best remembered for the line "Whenever in doubt, turn off your mind, relax, float downstream," which was lifted by John Lennon for the song "Tomorrow Never Knows" on the Beatles' 1966 album, Revolver.
