The leftovers of a bookmark list, the things you can't delete but really can't
be posted in the actual resources sections -- I mean, honestly. Just look.
Ridiculous. And addictive.

Diaries/Logs
-Making Light
The weblog of my favorite Teresa, lovely and talented, who links to Mary Sue
Whipple. Much goodness. I also steal a number of her links. Likewise--
-Electrolite
The weblog of my favorite Patrick, handsome and witty, who is awe-inspiring and quite
neato. He also does these neat one-liners that reduce me to mental gasping-giggles.
-Diary de la Vex
Brilliant. I don't want her life, but I'd love to be a friend of hers. She is
capable of humor, wit, joy, pain, and foreshadowing within her own life. Difficult
stuff, but neater than hell. Her
entry, "Oh, to be in England/Now
that April's there." generates fans faster than Continental Fan
Manufacturing Inc. Or something like that.
-Quoted Diaryland
Not so much a diary as a giant collection of .sig lines just waiting to be used.
It's especially helpful if you want to get in on this whole "reading other
people's lives for fun" thing -- just read until you find something so
interesting you can't help but want to read the rest of the entry. That's how I
found Vex, and I am eternally grateful.
-Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things
A multi-user blog, with news items concerning nifty inventions, copyright law, and
anything that strikes them as, y'know, cool. As the title suggests, there is always
something of amusement to be found there.
-Wil Wheaton Dot Net: The Official Wil Wheaton
Website
Yes, it's Wil Wheaton. Yes, Wil's that guy who played Wesley Crusher on TNG. Get over
it; the man's funny. He also has a loyal monkey armada, reads BoingBoing, and keeps
this whole damn site himself. That, and he disses
"William
Fucking Shatner" quite a bit.
Online Comics
-Sinfest
God, the Devil, a pimp, and a ho. You don't see character lists like that just
anywhere. By Tatsuya Ishida.
-Real Life
The characters and their antics bear startling resemblance to my friends and their
intricate fantasy lives. By Greg Dean.
-User Friendly
Loved by all true computer/programming geeks everywhere. By Illiad.
-Elf Life
A very long and involved plotline -- if you're going to start reading this, start
at the beginning. By Carson Fire.
-Pentasmal
A very, very odd comic. You think for a moment that you understand it, and then . . .
it changes all over again. By Aaron Farber. (Edit: Unfortunately, he ended the
strip, and now you have to pay money or something to actually access the old stuff.
Darn it. However, his new comic, Men in Hats,
is very nifty cool as well.
-Megatokyo
Anime-style art meets gamers and consciences that go "Squeek!" By Fred
Gallagher and Rodney Caston.
Humor/Anecdotes
-And the
Bride Wore...
What weddings inflict on unsuspecting wedding participants. With examples.
-RubberBurner.Com
Brought to you by Curry, the damn sexy racecar driver.
-Hell's Home Page
What it says.
-Jesus of the Week
Bringing you a new artistic rendering of Jesus every week, for differing
definitions of "every".
-Wedding Etiquette Hell
Anecdotes of weddings, and the "Dear God, she/he/they didn't do
that, did they?" aspect is half the fun.
-The Song of Solomon
Illustrated (For our literalist friends)
And a quite spiffy job they do of it as well.
-Affirmations for
Personal Growth
I like number five.
-Electron Band Structure
In Germanium, My Ass
A report.
Articles
-Bill
Hanna, a Yabba-Dabba-Do Guy
An entirely fitting memorial to William Hanna's death.
-Study: Children of
Divorce Twice as Likely to Write Bad Poetry
Ah, the Onion.
-The New Harry Potter
Books!
No, it's not really an article. But it is pretty damn funny.
-The Death of
Buffy's Mom
A title quite to the point. The article itself is actually a very nice discussion
of The Body. Kudos.
Random
-Big Day
Simply my favorite television commercial. Do beware the heaps of cookies they
try to foist on you.
-Anthony Stewart Head
as Frank-n-Furter
Oh yeah.
-Cafepress.com
Good quality merchandise, with a nifty and usable idea behind it.
-Folding@home
"Understanding how proteins self-assemble ('protein folding') is a holy
grail of modern molecular biophysics. What makes it such a great challenge is its
complexity, which renders simulations of folding extremely computationally demanding
and difficult to understand. [...] Our group has developed a new way to simulate
protein folding ('distributed dynamics') which should remove the previous barriers
to simulating protein folding." This page shows you how you can help with just
a screensaver program. The program is beautiful -- it will, however, delay in
clearing up.
-Men In Kilts
Don't ask me how I found this place.
-Spamcop.Net
An excellent, excellent service. Try it for yourself.
-The League of Obscure
British Actors
The joys of Google.
-Cheap New York
Very, very useful.
-Iowa Farmer Today's CornCam
Strangely satisfying.
-Dancing Paul
Hours of fun. Graphics -- and other things -- intensive.
-Chick Publications:
Dark Dungeons
Funny in a "Goodness, he doesn't really believe that, does he?" sort
of way. For epic-length fun, try
Alberto, the
"true" story of the Jesuit priesthood. Betcha didn't know about the
shock therapy, did you.
-Fucked Company
The best game around.
