ZDNet: Editor Selected ResultsAbout ZDNet

And they said you can't make money off the internet! Well, I am! OK, it's just a tiny bit of money, but it's fun. I'm the editor of the AboutResults: ZDNet page. I'll be putting links on the page useful for someone doing a search on ZDNet, guiding them to something useful rather than the million page hits they just got in the search.

Go check it out.

New Scientist

OK, a bit morbid, but as a CSI (television show that deals with how police scientists find the clues they do), I live this stuff. It's a computer program that builds a face from the skull.

This is currently a very hard and long task done by hand. It can also give the face an expression, or put different light on it, to help match with pictures.

OJR article: For Snopes.com, Debunking the Bambi Hoax Was All in a Day's Work

I've often refered people to the Snopes.com web site. I'll get an email with a strange story, or a virus claim, and the first place I go is Snopes.com. More often than not, I'll find it there... as a hoax.

It's run by a husband and wife team (they have cats and rats as pets... how cool!) who just take the extra steps that even reporters don't do these days.

The article is interesting, and it will make you a bit more careful about what you believe on the net.
