From thefuntheory.com (part of Volkswagen):

“[thefuntheory.com] is dedicated to the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better. Be it for yourself, for the environment, or for something entirely different, the only thing that matters is that it’s change for the better.”

very pretty interactive maths java applets

“Cool mathematical pattern generators, some with brief descriptions and mouse-click interactivity.”

The author of these Java applets describes himself as “a science fiction author and computer programmer”.

The applet gallery front page. Each square leads to a larger, animated version of that design.

Dr. Robertson. [Quoted from news.bbc.co.uk]

And from the BBC weather ‘forecast’:

“It is going to be a little bit more clearer....”

According to our investigative reporter, The Groaniad [Guardian] says BBC recruiting policy now requires that presenting applicants must be exhibiting standards that include that no elitist English as she was spoken in the historical times can be allowed inside applicants for these important jobs.

This developing policy is constructified so that applicants and viewers are not tricked inadvertent into having lower self-images by the rotten bossy degenerate decadent capitalist classes.
