It is astonishing to note that over 5000 record labels have been cataloged on the Web. A bit of searching will reward you with some unusual finds. I'd say a place with music made from samples created by ferrets playing with musical instruments is reasonably unusual (not to mention ferret themed music). 8:18:43 AM     Burt Rutan is one of the right stuff guys when it comes to designing aircraft. The latest project is called SpaceShipOne to take three people to a 100km altitude and, if successful, bring the $10 million X Prize to Mr Rutan. Hunt around on the Scaled Composites site under news for photos and a few details on the spacecraft. Unlike some of the competitors to date, Burt brings a good deal of technical sophistication - perhaps enough to win the prize. Now if Paul MacCready would enter ... There are some very sophisticated amateurs who deal with rocketry - the RRS is among the most competent. 5:55:29 AM     A laboratory of virtual pendulums. Physics 101 fun! 5:52:50 AM     Some time ago we noted NoteTaker from AquaMinds - very cool and useful stuff from a NeXTSTEP foundation and now there is some competition from NoteBook. I haven't used NoteBook, but Tim gives it his strongest recommendation. NoteTaker is incredibly useful (although I'm still on the trial period) - NoteBook may or may not be better - Jayson Adams (who wrote NoteBook on NeXT) is the author and the old NoteBook was wonderful. 5:52:34 AM
