Some Physics Projects with LEGO
Per Arne Rikvold is a theorist who studies materials and condensed matter at Florida State University. "Just for fun," as he puts it, he has developed Some Physics Projects with LEGO. The projects, which he describes on his Web page, involve using LEGO® pieces to build steam-powered cars and robots.

Animations of Processes within the Ear
The department of neurophysiology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has produced a set of audio files that demonstrate what it's like to hear the world (actually, Garrison Keillor) with damaged cochleas. The files are available on a Web page that also offers Animations of Processes within the Ear.

The Museum of HP Calculators
David Hicks's fascination for Hewlett-Packard calculators began in 1972 when he was 13 years old. It has continued ever since. In 1995, he began building The Museum of HP Calculators, a Web site that describes HP calculators in exhaustive, loving detail.
