>>Hello and welcome to HotFlash, the weekly newsletter of events and
>>information for HotWired and WIRED magazine.
>>
>>
>>Wiring Minds Want to Know
>>+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
>>
>>Maybe you're sick. Maybe you're curious. Maybe you're impatient by
>>nature. If your health questions can't wait, you can get instant answers
>>on everything from acne to zinc from Dr. Weil's new database, launching
>>this Tuesday. And check out the doc's daily Q&As: head lice, reefer, and
>>more.
>>
>> http://www.drweil.com/
>>
>>
>>So your health is golden but you've still got questions? This week we
>>launch the research tool of research tools, Wired Source, the WIRED
>>editors' gateway to real info on the Net. Finally, an Uzi for
>>librarians.
>>

>>
>>Cocktail celebrates Chile's independence day this week with the Pisco
>>Sour, a festive drink that loosens the tongue, sharpens the wit, and has
>>been known to give the birthrate a little boost.
>>
>> http://www.cocktailtime.com/
>>
>>
>>It's a go for the merger between Turner and Time Warner, so where will
>>Pathfinder "go"? Ned Brainard spies oddly clenched jaws.
>>
>> http://www.packet.com/flux/
>>
>>
>>Feeling an urge to read spreadsheets in your browser window? Neither are
>>we. Luke Knowland looks at intranet plug-ins this week and asks, "Why?"
>>There's also a peek at the new browser lines for the fall season (bright
>>colors are back!) and a truly demented demo, in Webmonkey.
>>
>> http://www.webmonkey.com/
>>
>>
>>In Packet, Michael Schrage says it's time to reinvent game shows for the
>>Net (we'll take the curtain) - and make someone a bundle in the bargain.
>>Check out Schrage, Andrew Leonard, Simson Garfinkel, and John
>>McChesney's HotSeat.
>>
>> http://www.packet.com/
>>
>>
>>Every geek child likes to play, but Boston's Computer Museum - that's a
>>little bit of heaven. Dream Jobs has tracked down an open position
>>there, along with an engineering slot at First Virtual, an art-fringe
>>experience at The Kitchen, and more.
>>
>> http://www.dreamjobs.com/
>>
>>
>>On Wednesday our current Brain Tennis debate comes to a close
>>(deadlocked or resolved?). Echo's Stacy Horn praises virtual
>>communities; Suck's Ana Marie Cox disses them.
>>
>> http://www.wired.com/braintennis/
>>
>>
>>John Heilemann, Jon Katz, and our roster of mystery columnists put the
>>fear of scrod into DC's biggest fish. Catch it all this week in The
>>Netizen.
>>
>> http://www.netizen.com/
>>
>>
>>Animal testing deservedly receives a lot of attention - but what about
>>research done on human guinea pigs? This Thursday, Pop reads "Guinea Pig
>>Zero," a zine for human pharmaceutical research subjects. Plus: John
>>Alderman explores Asia's southern megacities, Ian Christe keeps a
>>QuickCam diary, Harmon Leon busts "Cops," and Surf du Jour goes where
>>love and commerce meet - with a pit stop for a worm sandwich.
>>
>> http://www.pop.com/
>>
>>
>>This Tuesday we launch HotWired AudioFile, a one-stop shop for all of
>>our audio programs, both music and talk - with dramatically improved
>>audio quality. Stop by, select a program, and listen while you browse.
>>

>>This Week's Guests in Club Wired:
>>
>>US Representative Anna Eshoo appears in WiredSide Chat Tuesday. As one
>>of the founders of the bipartisan Internet Caucus, Eshoo (D-California)
>>has been attempting to drag Congress, kicking and screaming, into the
>>21st century - and that means relaxing export standards on encryption.
>>
>>Tuesday in Head Space: James Gunn's 50-year career in science fiction
>>has helped shape the genre's evolution. Meet the master craftsman,
>>critic, and celebrator of sci-fi, and discuss his creations - from "The
>>Immortals" (Bantam, 1962) to "The Joy Machine" (Pocket, 1996), his
>>recent realization of a "Star Trek" plot conceived by Theodore Sturgeon.
>>
>>Wednesday's PacketChat: Simson Garfinkel and host Brooke Shelby Biggs
>>discuss the challenges Java will face before its promise can be
>>realized.
>>
>>One of the great things about the Web is its free-will angle: You don't
>>have to waste time looking at stuff you didn't ask for. But now some
>>sites are sending unsolicited slogans and advertisements scrolling
>>across our browser windows. In Thursday's PacketChat, columnist Andrew
>>Leonard wonders if we're soon to become helpless Web potatoes, being
>>spoon-fed our hypertext experience.
>>
>>Christopher Frankonis created CyberPOLIS, a context for the practical
>>implementation of online democracy. Join Frankonis and host Jon
>>Lebkowsky in Electronic Frontiers on Thursday.
>>
>>Frederik L. Schodt, author of the cult classic "Manga! Manga! The World
>>of Japanese Comics" (Kodansha International, 1983) - which raised
>>American awareness of the sometimes strange, sometimes kitschy beauty of
>>Japanese cartoonists' work - has written a sequel. Friday in Pop Talk.
>>
>>Check the Club Wired schedule for detailed descriptions of these and
>>other events.
