The Official Cracked Blog: Cracked.com
$1.99
I remember Cracked magazine being a rather poor imitation to Mad magazine (back in the 1970s). Anyway, I decided to give the Official Cracked Blog a try on my Kindle 2. In short, I kept it well past the two-week trial period.

The blog is written by four or five regular writers. The articles, with a new one roughly once a day, are often `laugh out loud' hilarious.

The four stars is due to what another reviewer noted: any graphic or cartoon is incomprehensible, even with `zooming' (maybe on the Kindle DX it would be better, but I don't have one). Occasionally a new entry is made up of nothing but a series of graphics or cartoons, with no way to read the text.

However, don't let that deter you from trying out Cracked. I promise, if you like `cracked' humor, you will find plenty of articles each month that will easily be worth the price of subscription.

Clinton Websites: Five Official Archived White House Websites from 1993 through 2001 ��� President Bill Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, Speeches, Reports, Overseas Trips, Initiatives, Programs, Impeachment, Histories, more - Core Federal Information Series (Two CD-ROM Set)
$29.95
This incredible set of two CD-ROMs provides a historic collection of five representative archived Clinton websites maintained by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The first White House Web Site was developed in 1994, during the Clinton Administration. The White House took "snap shots" of each version. These versions are historical materials, "frozen in time," which means that they are no longer updated and links to other sites will not work. Some images were not provided to the National Archives and Records Administration and may appear as broken images or links. Version 1 is representative of the first White House web site. The information contained within this snap shot is as it existed in November 1995. Version 2 is representative of the second major release White House web site. This generation of the White House web site introduced the White House as the "Gateway to Government." The information contained within this snap shot is as it existed in August of 1999. Version 3 is representative of the White House web site as it existed in July of 2000. Version 4 provides examples of Audio (July through December, 2000), Video (August through November, 2000) and other online documents (August) as provided for by various features on the White House web site. Version 5 is the final version of the White House historical web sites. It represents the web site as it appeared during the last days of the Clinton Administration. See the Table of Contents link for a thorough list of documents and topics on these site reproductions; the files are illustrated with dramatic color photography, charts and graphs.
