* Y2Kaput: For those of you with kerosene-powered PCs, the city of Los Angeles has a Web site at https://www.updatela.org to keep you abreast on the end of the world.
* Last 2000 plug: Search engine Northern Light has compiled its picks for the 30 best Web sites to visit on New Year’s Eve at https://www.northernlight.com/2000. OK, dude, the reason you have no date and no party is because you do things like spending New Year’s Eve with your computer. Go. Get out of the house.
* Voyeur central: Cammunity (https://www.cammunity.com) has muchos links to Web cams both public and private. The science cams are interesting; the personal cams, as usual, are scary. These are the people visiting Web sites on New Year’s Eve.
* Not for children under the age of 15: You’ll be sorry the gift-giving has ended when you check out Gobler Toys (https://www.goblertoys.com/pages/goblertoys
.html). The best toys that never were.
* Jurassic link: BBC Online has great interactive dinosaur information at Walking With Dinosaurs (https://www.bbc.co.uk/dinosaurs). Just tell the kids they’re not extinct animals but new Pokemon.
* Pants on fire: Dave’s Web of Lies (https://www.cs.man.ac.uk/hancockd/dwol.htm) sparkles with the untrue. Did you know women were 12 times more radioactive than men?
* I’m a captain, dammit, not a crooner: William (Capt. Kirk) Shatner’s rendition of “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” always brings a tear to my eye and the Pepto Bismol bottle to my lips. Now you can sing along with him at https://209.68.1.93/emotionp/singalong/kirk
.html. There are also links to the song stylings of Spock and Uhura. Got a Web site suggestion? E-mail click.here
