I am soooo looking forward to my vacation next week. Of course I won't be taking it completely off, as I'm planning on tweaking the NLA home page, as well as do some research for a future article. Oh well, at least I won't be at work.

Links-a-rama. And no personality tests this time! I promise! {grin}

• Mr. Futz - An online animation. Warning - you need Flash 5 and a rather speedy connection. {from Tricia}
  
• Ode to lutefisk - A song that sings the praise of nasty fish. {from Ana}
  
• Gibson Research - A good place to find out about some of the lesser known computer security leaks and problems. They may not get the most press, but aren't those the ones that crackers would use?
  
• Surveying the Digital Future - The UCLA Internet Report 2001. You'll need Adobe Acrobat and a lot of time if you want to read the whole thing, but it is interesting to those of us studying the Internet as a medium. {from slashdot.org}
  
• Sperm Donor Must Pay Child Support - ummm, Let's think about this for a bit... A person donates his ... ahem .. fluids so a lesbian couple can have a kid. The couple breaks up and now the donor has to pay the child support? Say Wha? {from daypop.com}
  
• Create-A-Fart - I am so sorry I passed this link around at work. Many hours of melodic bodily noises came from various offices (I repeat offices!) I am sooooo sorry!
