Get A Life
Do you spend all of your time in front of a computer screen?
Well, don't worry if you have no life. There is plenty on the
Web to keep you occupied. And there are plenty of connections
with other couch potato diversions such as TV.
-
The
Dilbert Zone has now taken control of your computer.
Only in the Dilbert Zone will you learn the truth about
the latest management fads that have taken over the
minds of the cubicle masters.
- Geek Chic
highlights the nerd lifestyle.
- Duncan
of the clan McLeod will appeal to those into
off with their heads sword play. (Connor of the clan
McLeod if you prefer the big screen.) The Highlander is
also a parable for those using new software on older
versions of Windows. Because in the end, there can
only be one ... (version of Win32S).
-
Hercules
will stand up for the weakling nerd who is always
gets the sand kicked in his face.
- Xena
will use her sword to atone for her evil past. Magic
and the whims of the Gods mean that Xena will always
be facing ghosts from her past. Xena has killed the
evil
Callisto more than once. But Callisto keeps
coming back from the dead like the Energizer
Bunny.
- The X-Files
promise that the truth is out there if you are
looking for what lies behind the conspiracies.
- Babylon 5
offers fresh science fiction for those tired of the
old Star Trek formula. It is one of the best SF
shows in spite of the movie mongrels at Warner
Brothers who have been jerking the fans and the
producer around about the fifth season. JMS has
did a decent job writing the fourth season.
It would have been much better though,
if the moguls had been kept on a short leash. And
now that there is a fifth season, those of us without
cable are shut out. ARRGGH!
- Earth,
Final Conflict is another fresh departure from the
Star Trek formula. And since it has been developed
from materials found in Gene Roddenberry's sock drawer,
it should benefit from the clout of the Star Trek
franchise.
- GetWild.com is the
ultimate Geek diversion: a Web page for a TV show
about Web pages.
