-------------- The Rosetta Project When the world loses a language, it is as complete a loss as the extinction of an animal species. Concerned that as many as 90% of the world's languages will disappear in the next century, the Rosetta Project is a contemporary version of the Rosetta Stone, gathering 1,000 languages so that they may outlast their few living speakers. A collaboration of language scholars and native speakers, the project may ultimately help recover lost languages. Already, it's a fascinating record: search for obscure languages by name, family or country and hear audio files of many that are spoken by only a handful of people today. The resulting archive will have a 2,000-year life expectancy. rosettaproject.org:8080/live ------------------- Fractal Poetry No rhymes here. Despite the name, Fractal Poetry is mostly images, the creations of Terry Wright, a fractal artist among the many practitioners of the art found on the Web. Fractals are shapes that show similar features at different sizes; while mathematics plays a role in its creation, visitors do not need to get the math to get the art. With titles like the outrageous "Tinkerbell Steps Out" and peaceful "Chernobyl Pear," the images are varied and surprising, looking like oils and watercolors but created with various fractal generators rather than with paint on canvas. eclectasy.com ------------------- re:constructions Turn off the TV and reflect - wise advice following the incomprehensible events of September 11, 2001. re:constructions is a collection of essays from students, staff, faculty and friends of MIT's Comparative Media Studies, and it makes a contribution as important to the healing as blood donations: thoughtful analyses of the words, images, and stories which filled - or were missing from - the media coverage. To help us sort it all out in our schools, places of worship, union halls and homes, the site analyzes world news coverage, explores alternative insights, challenges the use of words like "coward," debates public policy, shares creative uses of the media and hosts a dialogue about the events and their impact. web.mit.edu ---------------- Dr. Grammar Ever wish you had an English professor on your desktop?
