Jimmy
Zeilinger’s “Damned If You Do”
Unlike our last
issue’s “Net Movies” selection,
where a newly-dead man tries to get into Heaven, “Damned
If You Do” features a newly-dead man, frustrated
by a life of good intentions but bad results, who tries
to get into Hell. Comments

“3-D Pool”
An amazingly realistic game of table pool in a paneled
parlor, “3D Pool” can be played online or
in a downloadable version with limited free plays. Watching
the simulated physics of independently-moving billiard
balls is, by itself, a joy to behold. Requires Shockwave
plug-in. Comments

Yariv Alter Fin's “Inter-Face”
Ever wanted a pet face? Sunk into a blank, white page,
a woman’s highly expressive face is under your control,
like some kind of cooperative android. Startling but also
friendly, the face almost seems to be keeping up its side
of the conversation. Comments

“How They Sleep”
The fires in this elegant, interactive poem are dream-actions
by a man and a woman, whose "heads are tuned to different
pitches, like glasses of water." Through lucid images,
this poem defines the couple’s separate worlds. Comments
