...monologues. (The original Lolcat features a fat gray fur ball gazing longingly past the camera under the heading I CAN HAS CHEEZBURGER?) Huh discovered the site, which was started by two Hawaiian bloggers, when they linked to a photo on his personal blog. His site quickly buckled under the traffic, and he e-mailed to complain - then figured there was money to be made in such a zealous online community. (See the 50 best websites...

...late July, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) released hundreds of pages of a previously buried 2003 National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) study that identified the cell phone as a serious safety hazard when used on the road. A bill introduced last month in the Senate would require all states to impose a ban on texting while driving; 17 states (including, most recently, Illinois, on Aug. 6) and the District of Columbia have passed such a ban, and seven states have outlawed driver use of handheld communication devices altogether. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood considers cell phones such a problem...

But for those of us who missed it because of the inconvenience of having not yet been born, the concert's 40th anniversary is instinctively less a cause for celebration than an excuse to plug our ears. We know the basics - or think we do. It was three days of music, peace, love and nudity remembered with greater clarity by those who weren't present than those who were. For decades, our boomer elders...

...eight hours of sound are just a fifth of the overall concert, and thank God. Because Woodstock's first half was honkingly bad. Richie Havens' "Freedom (Motherless Child)," a song he improvised onstage because other artists were stuck in traffic, is representative of the problem. Absent the day's biggest commercial acts - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan declined to participate - the bill tilted toward flute bands and folkies, and they played to a crowd the size of Reno, Nev., as if they were in a coffeehouse. A lot of the rock bands, meanwhile, were stoned...
