Long-time listeners know I have a peculiar fascination with all things related to tailgating. In the oft-unpeculiar state of Indiana, George Goble (no, not the flat-topped comic from Hollywood Squares) discovered the ultimate way to start your charcoal, demonstrated memorably at The Ultimate Grill-Lighting Page. Winner of the 1996 IgNobel Prize for Physics. And remember -- don't presoak your briquettes!!

DogzCyberpets invade the Net: Dogz - they live in your computer, but you buy 'em like a dog, walk 'em like a dog, and ctrl-alt-del the cyberturds just like with a dog...kudos (I think) to Dillon Cody, who somehow conned his pop out of $20 for a pooch!

Land of the Lunchboxes - retreat into the warm bosom of your idealized past...with bad food and good art, as well as the clean version of Felix the Cat.

Brauer's personal godhead...

Encouraged by a former flight attendant (who said he performed this stunt in the air!), I burned non-dairy coffee creamer live during the show. (Light your lighter and sprinkle the stuff off to the side.) John/Cathy West have topped me by pointing my web browser to The T.W.I.N.K.I.E.S. Project.

Now that Jerry Garcia's coda is chromed, where will Cherry Garcia go when it dies? Ben & Jerry's Flavor Graveyard...scary stuff kids!

BRAU FUEL: Four cups o'Joe a morning - half Starbuck's Vienna Roast, half Espresso Decaf (hey, you can't read cues if your eyes pop out of yer head!) The synapse-closers: Coffee-A-Go-Go; Atlantic Monthly epicure Corby Kummer's Joy of Coffee, and the University of Cambridge's Trojan Room's coffee pot (which proves that the 'Net is distracting the greatest minds on the planet...)
