Continuing the optimism, from the Rapture Ready site, is this note at http://www.novia.net/~todd/rap49.html

Polaroid transfer & manipulation resources . Haven't looked at it, just throwing it here for reference.

A diary entry comparing the gods in old greek plays to modern treatment of "the mob" in screenplays.
Tasty Bits from the Technology Front offers regular tech news.
The newly designed Society for Human Sexuality web page points to photographer Sally Russ whose work is definitely worth a look.
