POPSReverse Dictionary I've had many many many moments when I can't remember a word....I still haven't tried out this site though....I just thought it was interesting that someone actually finally came up with it...

POPSRock Paper - No Scissors Needed Stone paper is just a cool idea. I would like it even if it weren't for the environmental issues. It's fascinating that we're back to 'carving' on stone.

POPSTo Queer, or Not To Queer? One of the few genuinely interesting things about the Knight Rider movie/pilot earlier this year was FBI agent Carrie Ruvai's apparent queerness. Unsurprisingly, it's caused waves and will probably never be seen again. But some of the people behind the scenes aren't as homophobic as the suits.

POPSSave the City, Save the World? Starhawk wrote a book Five Sacred Things, that postulated SF as being the centre of a somewhat utopian new society. Looks like the people there are actually aiming for that in reality too. Kinda cool.

POPSMy most recent venture into conlanging Once upon a time I wanted to learn a foreign language, and not being in school I couldn't imagine how I'd learn one. So, as usual, I took the least complex route and started inventing my own language. Later I figured out that they had books and tapes and stuff to teach you foreign languages. Go figure! Still, my love of conlanging stayed with me. This conlang is actually a collaboration between my dear friend and me, with occasional input from her daughter. There are examples, grammar, phonology and more on the source page.

POPSPotential Paradigm Shift? I am always wary of ideas that glorify computers as the best (and perhaps only true) way to understand the functions of the world and life. However, this one is slightly different from the ones I've seen before, so...maybe?

POPSListening To Teens, Not Just Demonizing Them I listen to My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy and others that are called 'emo'. I know, from an adult perspective, that calling them suicide-promoting cults is a filthy lie. But it's really good to see a teenager eloquently saying it as well.
