What a guy. On January 1st, 'DotComGuy' moved into an empty house in Dallas, taking only a computer and the clothes he was wearing. Half-way through his one-year project, 'Guy' still hasn't left the property, but he has proved you can buy just about anything on the Net. Naturally, he offers a webcam view of his world [Windows Media Player required].

Follow the surf. The world's best surfers are riding the waves and the Web during the Billabong Pro 2000 surfing championship in South Africa. Daily updates, pictures and video are online [Windows Media Player required]. Competition continues until 9 July.
