One of the first major adult (non-juvenile) SF novels I read (at the age of 12, I think) was Larry Niven's Ringworld.

If you've played Halo, you've gotten to run around on a small ringworld. This Flash animation (via the Larry Niven mailing list) conveys a little bit more of the grand scale of the "real" Ringworld. Enjoy.

I wonder if Rocket Man has ever seen this?

If you have sat through many episodes of Pokemon, Digimon, or Yu-Gi-Oh, you should definitely grok this.

Dallas resident Virginia Postrel is California Dreamin'.

Me, well, I guess I'm on a Rocky Mountain High:

Colorado is your state. If you don't already live
there, you should. Lots of tourists...just
ignore them. If you can take the cold winters,
you'll be just fine there.

Of course as a native Texan, it's my duty to point out that the Republic of Texas owned a goodly part of Colorado at one time (especially some of my favorite scenery in the San Juans in the southwest corner of the state).

Another link (via the Volokh conspiracy) to an Internet slacker game: Mr. Piccasohead.

Enjoy.
