I’d been routing all my personal domain email through GMail for years to take advantage of their excellent spam filters, but it turns out that GMail was occasionally rejecting some of this mail for looking spammy and somehow I was never getting notified that this was happening! Like, it wasn't going into GMail's Spam folder: it just was never being sent to me at all. Browsing my inbox on my personal domain's webmail revealed a bunch of emails I'd just never received. This had been going on for years before I realized the problem. To the sender, it looked like I was just blowing them off, dropping the conversation. From my point of view, they'd just never responded. This is *bad*.

Me imagining Ted Stevens locked up in some vast warehouse with only a few Dan Flavins or Donald Judds to keep him company, shaking his fist at the grim and barren sky...... jacking off in the face of the Rule of Law. I like that!
You could always turn them into musical instruments, like this guy did, using "vintage computing hardware including a Sinclair ZX Spectrum (rhythm & lead), Epson LX-83 dot matrix printer (drums), HP Scanjet 4c (bass) and a hard drive array to mangle vocals and effects."
and wouldn't it be somewhat trivial to write a program which obfuscates your text by introducing spelling errors, replacing words with synonyms, or possibly even changing grammatical structures? Of course, you might run the risk of looking like an idiot (\/1aGrA, anyone?), but at least it'd be tough to trace all your writings back to the same source.
Here's an AppleScript which acts like a "refresh" button:
try
tell application "Finder" to update items of front window end try
compile it, save it in one of your Scripts folders, and make the AppleScript menulet visible. You could probably also use Butler or QuickKeys or Quicksilver to assign a keyboard shortcut to it.
This seems like a good place to mention a repository of media that didn't make it. Hundreds of promising (and not so promising) formats that are now unreadable.

Sample quote: "What would America look like if it were in Iraq's current situation? The population of the US is over 11 times that of Iraq, so a lot of statistics would have to be multiplied by that number.
Thus, violence killed 300 Iraqis last week, the equivalent proportionately of 3,300 Americans. What if 3,300 Americans had died in car bombings, grenade and rocket attacks, machine gun spray, and aerial bombardment in the last week? That is a number greater than the deaths on September 11, and if America were Iraq, it would be an ongoing, weekly or monthly toll."
For me, it's Longhorn's vector-based approach to the UI. While everybody's busy giggling and snorting at the 'eye-candy' at Longhorn, the reality is you'll be able to use it on monitors with > 3,000 pixels in width without having to use a microscope to read the text.

and then the hair on the back of my neck stood up, because that's in my password!
No article on Mario would be complete without this.
There's already the hilarious pornfortheblind.org.
Nor the funkier 3 minute rule.
From the WSJ article: "An online comic strip shows a gang kicking and swearing at Mr. Connare." That would be this.

And then there's this recently penned Chinese pop song, Don't Be Too CNN, accusing Western media of distorting reportage on China.

photoshop's got scripting: javascript, applescript, visual basic.
not too intuitive, poorly documented, but scripting nonetheless.
I just ordered some. For my bicycle.
The dogcow was designed by Susan Kare, and here's a brief history.
He meant a case of nanos, obviously.
One of my favorite Juan Cole pieces talks about exactly that. It's about a year old but still apt: If America were Iraq, What would it be Like?
Sample quote:
"What would America look like if it were in Iraq's current situation? The population of the US is over 11 times that of Iraq, so a lot of statistics would have to be multiplied by that number.
Thus, violence killed 300 Iraqis last week, the equivalent proportionately of 3,300 Americans.

You mean, like OS X already has?
I just hope they make it like Quantrix or FlexiSheet and less like Excel.
