(1) Fri Nov 19 2004 11:45 PST I'll Write Your Weblog: Thanks to Mike Popovic for sending me some links to write about.

• Interactive Go Tutorial. Pretty slick. Java applets galore. I'm afraid to learn about go because I want to do it very slowly while taking copious notes about my thought processes so as to obtain some insight into how a computer would learn go.
• The Particle Adventure is from the government, and it's here to help... help you learn about subatomic particles, that is! It's some flash thing so I can't see it, but there's a Standard Model chart.
• Riana's birthday party is tomorrow. Clearly what she needs is a pirate ship cake.
