Discovering Sherlock Holmes - A Community Reading Project

Starting in January 2006, Stanford University will begin publishing four Sherlock Holmes mystery stories in their original serialized form, oneepisode per week.

"If you would like to receive paper facsimiles of the original magazine releases, you may sign up on our website. If you would prefer to download the facsimile as a pdf from the website, each installment will be available on successive Fridays. If you will be using the pdf files, please provide us with your email address on the subscription page, and we will send you an email every Friday, alerting you that the week's issue is available to download."

Registration for both paper and .pdf options is free, although donations are appreciated.

SAILS

Ok, so I admit lusting after that remote-controlled helium blimp I saw in the toy store when I was 11 years old. Here's a rather new twist on that concept, as they're not only helium-filled and mobile, but autonomous, with an urge to stack themselves into structures.

Josh Simpson's Infinity Project

Here's an idea:  Let's play mind-games with future generations of Archeologists, by hiding durable and unique objects in the ground for them to find and puzzle over.  What do they mean? Who put them there?

Better yet, let's get 1600 friends to play salt-the-site too!

Nice glassworks, by the way.

Flight Club - an interactive glider game

This is fun -- an interactive Java simulation of a glider.
It's harder than you'd think to catch thermals....
