JOB

Jay's Own Browser is writen in Java and source code is available. It is a Java aplication, not an applet, so all you need is a Java interpreter, not necesarily a Java capable browser.

Lisp, Scheme, and AI

Automatically generated HTML versions of the Lisp and Scheme FAQs are accessible by WWW as part of the AI-related FAQs Mosaic page. The Common Lisp V2.0 manual was available online, now its not. Boo Hoo.

Free Software Foundation

Along with many efforts to keep programming and software free, the FSF is building a free (GPL) Unix clone named GNU. GNU includes all the unix tools: ls, find, grep; cc, debug; etc. There are multiple kernels which support GNU, including Linux and Hurd. The official ftp site has a ton of goodies, and the GNU Manuals web page is also a good place to start.

FreeDos

The FreeDos project is building a free (GPL) MS DOS clone. Visit the FreeDOS World HQ Site or the FreeDOS Development Support Site

GNUish Project

Your favorite Unix tools (Gnu naturally) running on MS Dos.

GNU for Win32 (Win 95, Win NT, Win 32s?)

Cygnus had made a port of Gnu's C/C++ (under GPL) and provides it along with a compatibility .dll (not under GPL!). There is a (LGPL) minimalist runtime library which can replace Cygnus's non-gpl .dll (original in Japan, mirror site in USA).

The Extropians

The Extropians are an optomistic, transhuman, futurist, neophillic, online, wild bunch of folks.

Cryonics

Cryonics is the practice of freezing the recently dead in the hope that future medicine will be able to heal them. I believe that Alcor is the best organization offering cryonic suspension. You should check out Cryonics Institute, American Cryonics Society, and CryoCare before you make your own decision. The Prometheus Project is an organization (forming) to research "fully-reversible, long-term suspended animation for humans."

The Cypherpunks

CypherPunks are commited to exploring the political implications of cryptography. Lots of old messages from the mailing list are available at the Cypherpunks Archives.

The Libertarians

The libertarians believe in all the freedom money can buy. The libertarians actually hold a very interesting, and self consistent political philosophy. There is an libertarian party in the USA, actually they believe in competion so strongly there seems to be another! Two good general reference pages are maintained at http://libertarian.org/ and at http://www.free-market.com/ either of which might claim be a third Libertarian party. Also see the Judean People's Front, the People's Front of Judea, et al.

The Men's Movement

The Men's movement is really a number of smaller movements which each involve men. Some are the political compliment to feminism, some are actually part of feminism, some are compleatly unrelated, and a few are outright hostile to feminism. The largets groups are probably the Father's Rights groups. The most important (in my opinion) are the Masculist (political men's advocates) groups like The National Coalition of Free Men.

Esperanto

Esperanto is the World Auxilary Language with about 2,000,000 speakers around the world. Help resist the artificial isolation our histories, cultures, and governemnts impose on us through the barrier of language. You can also visit the ELNA (Esperanto Leauge for North America) home page.

The Country Oceania

Oceania is the name of the new country that the Atlantis Project seeks to create. Their goals seem very compatable with those of Extropians, Cypherpunks, Cryonicists, and other freedom loving people.

The First Milennial Foundation

This group of folks plans (in detail) to colonize the galaxy. But will begin with a space colony on the ocean. In this, and that the colony will be a new country, they share goals with Oceania. But their politics are a bit different.

Drumming

I am very much enjoying learning to play hand drums, and developing my ability to hear complex rhythmic relationships. If you are interested, you could read the Djembe List mailing list, which actually discusses drums other than the Djembe. You might also check out the Djembe List FAQ for some answers to frequently asked questions. Also check out what Jorge has to say about drums. I am also currently enjoying making drums. Check out what others have to say about making drums;

PGP

There is now a PGP Keyserver running on martigny.ai.mit.edu. And it looks like MIT will shortly release a fully 'legal' PGP 2.5 based on RSAREF.
