POPSBartering sex for stuff or services Cont... Ben Corbett, a 39-year-old contractor from Boulder, Colorado, credits his tool belt with prompting the barrage of come-ons he fields from female clients -- most of them married -- on a regular basis. "It starts with the flirting, and it just progresses," says Corbett, who has run a construction and remodeling business for 20 years. "They'll touch my hand, and there's all this physical contact. Or they'll run around in their pajamas." "Once," he says, "I was painting the hallway right outside a client's bedroom, and she was lying on her bed like a girl at a slumber party with her legs up and her arms crossed and her head resting on them, asking me if I had a girlfriend.

POPSWeird Hotels The author of Weirdomatic.com may think they are weird but I LOVE THEM! OK, all but the Coffins in Japan. I read too many cyberpunk novels in the 80s! The Mayan Pyramid is only in the planning stages but it is due to open in 2010... My favorite without a doubt is the Beckham Canyon Cavern Hotel...

POPSExtraterrestrial Particle Accelerator I recently read an excellent book titled "Decipher," about a diverse group of people trying to save the Earth. A linguist that specialized in dead languages like Chaldean and Sumerian... A CIA remote viewer.. A Construction Engineer for a Oil Company... An Archaeologist.. A Quantum Scientist/Mathematician focused on Chaos Theory... A Crack team of Marines with the ever noble squared-jaw leader. Their goal was to decipher a base 60 language that ad been left imprinted on crystal matrices tens of thousands years old with a carbon-60 elemental make up.. Read it if you can find it, it is amazing. The Particle Accelerator here was featured in that book and the Physicist was spouting off about these theories of mini-black holes and space/time distortion. Thus article goes one better as it alleges that the Collider is the only NON-TOP SECRET unit being used and many more exist...

POPS7 Engineering Wonders of the Modern World "Each of the projects depicted here has set at least one world record for its height, scale, daring or ingenuity." Additional Info: 1) Venice Tide Barrier: 80 hinged barriers, each approximately 6,500 sq ft. 2) Langeled Pipeline: It will supply 20% of Britain’s gas needs, connecting England to the largest gas field in Europe via 750 miles of complex underwater terrain (workers lay 8 miles of pipe a day. 3) Three Gorges Dam: 600 ft high and holding 1.4 trillion cubic ft of water behind 100 million cubic ft of concrete, will supply 10% of China's power needs 4) Big Dig: Engineers were forced to navigate a maze of subways, pipes and utility lines in the course of the project, all with minimum disturbance to the bustling streets of Boston above. 5) Toshka Project: It will ultimately redirect 10% of the country’s water from the Nile and will increase the inhabitable land in Egypt by as much as 25%.

POPSThe Watchmen set is built! The Watchmen, by nearly everyone's account, is one of the all-time best graphic novels. It's a complex and well written literary work combined with art that helps bring the story to life. It's always felt very movie-like to me, so I'm excited for it's transition to the big screen. Warnerbros has released some pictures of the backlot, and it looks amazing. These snaps look just like the NYC depicted in the Watchmen - a gritty early-eighties New York with a very particular look and feel.

POPSLongtail Commuter Amazing. I need to learn how to craft a bike. The one change that seems quite obvious to me on a bike that can be used to haul a fair amount of weight would to be the addition of disc brakes. Hydraulic or mechanical, either way the stopping power would be greatly increased and you wouldn't have to worry about wet pads while carrying a huge load.

POPSA Low Impact Woodland Home A really interesting site which tells of how a guy with barely any architectural experience, built this home with the help of just a few people, in only 4 months. Truly amazing!

POPSOsama Bin Laden - Messages To The World Who exactly is it, that is emboldening the enemy? Who is the greatest threat to our rights and liberties and freedom? Bin Laden or BushCo? It has been stated, that we have given up, or let be taken away without a peep or a protest, more freedom than the terrorists ever could have achieved on their own. I tend to agree. Seems to me, so does Bin Laden. Thanks Mr Bush! With *friends* like you, who needs enemies? .;)

POPSFirst Underwater Hotel to Open in Dubai Amazing and interesting. Hydropolis reproduces the human organism in an architectural design. There is a direct analogy between the physiology of man and the architecture. The geometrical element is a figure eight lying on its side and inscribed in a circle. The spaces created in the basin will contain function areas, such as restaurants, bars, meeting rooms and theme suites. These can be compared to the components of the human organism: the motor functions and the nervous and cardiovascular systems, with the central sinus knot representing the pulse of all life.

POPSJune 1 protest, Xianmen, China: liveblogging as citizen media A good roundup from Global Voices Online showing how SMS, blogging, Flickr, and YouTube made it possible to spread the word before and after a major peaceful protest in the Chinese city of Xianmen. Amazing story. Also see the followup post; apparently Chinese authorities are now blocking Flickr: http://snipr.com/1n94d
