Noney

A new kind of currency: cultural tender called Noney. An art project from Rhode Island. Each bill has a value of 0, but an aesthetic value to be determined by the parties in any given transaction. There's a URL on the back of each bill, and, in the same spirit as the famous Where's George? site, people are encouraged to track the circulation of the bills as they make their way around the world. (Thanks to kafclown for mentioning this.)

Star Wars Kid

Over 23000 people have signed the petition to Lucasfilm to give The Star Wars Kid a cameo role in the upcoming Episode III.

Of all the remixes on the JediMaster site, this one's my favorite. (WMV format)

The saga continues: the parents of the Kid himself have filed a $160,000 lawsuit against the classmates who posted the original video on the Net.

Oldest Code Still Running

Probably the oldest code still running and arguably the best ever written. Very few bugs, but hacker and virus attacks are a constant strain. Worth reviewing every once in a while for ideas and inspiration.
