I like my brains mushy, not crisp, with a liberal helping of gravy over it.

Strong Enough For a Man, but Made For a Woman
1999-06-03 15:48:28
Apparently, women view the world in a different way then men and so they need their very own "special" Y2K page.
This site seems to enjoy scaring the Crap out of woman, hoping I guess that they panic along side their menfolk when the clock strikes 1/1/2000 00:00. The author likes to worry about a lot of things - just about everything, in fact. She's even got "The Busy Woman's Y2K Home Preparedness Checklist". If your house isn't stocked with barley, Spam, 3 kinds of salt, 8 types of sweeteners, powdered eggs, wine in a box, dishpans, dust cloths, bubble bath, air freshener and a huge assortment of makeup just to name a few items... then well, my dear, you just aren't ready for Y2K and you're a bad wife and mother to boot.
Naturally, because this is the post-scarcity society (pre-Y2K collapse) this site is really about selling. In this case it is just a big ad for the book - Y2K for Women: How to Protect Your Home and Family in the Coming Crisis. Basically, if the page hasn't frightened you enough, you should buy the book. I'm thinking that the author is probably holed up somewhere in deep, dark Montana, armed to the teeth and has made the publisher promise to prepay all her royalties for the book before mid-Dec... in gold, of course.

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert.

This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
