Finding the order of the multiplicative group (mod n)...zuh?

Weblogs are usually pretty easy for readers to get into. Lance Fortnow's Computational Complexity Web Log is probably the most difficult-to-read weblog I've ever come across. But that's OK because if you're into computational complexity, it's just the thing.

Speaking of which, I need to clean some things. My car mostly. The Web to the rescue once again: howtocleananything.com. I'm not sure if it'll be helpful or not, but I love that it exists. (Related: This to That gives advice on how to glue this thing to that thing.)

Nice to see that some folks are embracing the old adage that brevity is the soul of wit. Very very witty.

From witty to potty humor: Planet Urine are pet stain removal experts.

I have a different type of pet stain. Perhaps I need Planet Uranus?

Even better is lambda the ultimate, a weblog about programming language theory.

it appears error is the source of complexity, keke :) so fallible!

Jason, after you clean your car you can go get a brand new antenna ball here - www.crazyantennaballs.com.

And later you can order your genetically engineered chubby pet rat here.

How about that?!?

It's good to see that there still such thing as the "first-mover" on the Internet, as I'm about to open www.howtocleanafiveyearoldcarforjustthesecondtimeinasmanyyears.com.

Also, not to forget the pulse-rare ecommerce sector, www.buythisblankethasbeensittinginthebackofmypickuptruckforsixmonths.com covers a pretty niche market.

I'm accepting angel funding offers, and some lessons on brevity.

Not to mention grammar and cohesiveness; "pulse-rare ecommerce vein".
