Dear friends,

I thought I'd give you a few interesting web pointers that I have been
gathering in my ``Vallist'' folder for the last few weeks.

Except more ``content'' soon!

First, a number of egocentric links (but they may be useful for your
reference):

* My Caltech home page: http://www.its.caltech.edu/~vallis

This contains: mailing and telephone info; the full text of my papers
(currently only one is available though) and of my ``tesi di laurea'';
plus links to the home page of my soccer team at Caltech, the Phys. Rev.
Netters, and to a theme page about an 8mm movie (yes!) in which I
starred earlier this year.

* My ``hobbies'' home page: http://www.vallis.homepage.com

Formerly http://www.fis.unipr.it/~vallis, this pages were originally
composed a few years ago, and are now only slightly updated. They
contain a ``book page'' with my reading list (utterly incomplete) and
excerpts from my favourite authors; a collection of ``Calvin and
Hobbes'' strips regarding physics (highly recommended); a ``ZX
Spectrum'' page (my first beloved computer); a ``Misery Loves Company''
site (MLC were my Cure-inspired and gig-shunning rock band with
Alessandro Tellini); finally, a photo album, under heavy construction
(but I'll tell you when it is worth a visit).

* The home page for this mailing list: http://www.egroups.com/vallist

Here you can access the archives for this list (ok, I know they are not
very full yet...) You need to register with the site in order to do
this, but it's not too painful.

Now a few amusing links (with many thanks to Kola and Daniele):

* http://www.asciimation.co.nz

Watch Star Wars IV (a New Hope), delivered with state-of-the-art
technology...

* http://www.bregenzerfestspiele.com/english/main.html (check!)

An absolutely amazing stage design (a bit kitsch, might I add)... But
mind you, what you see is not computer graphic, but the actual stage
design...

* http://www-csag.cs.uiuc.edu/individual/pakin/complaint

An automatic complaint generator (now you know what to do when you get
fed up with my e-mails).

* http://www.calvinandhobbes.com/
* http://www.ctoons.com/javascript/bc/ns/
* http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/forbetter/ab.html

My favourite comic strips.

Love,

Michele
