NEWS & OPINION
|
Salon.com
As a political fencesitter, it's occasionally left of where I stand, but the articles often breath new insights into areas you don't ordinarily see in most news outlets.
These Days
His tag line is "pot shots at pop culture" and it's very true and very good. A nice mix of serious and silly topics and always good for a laugh.
Reason
My new favorite online news magazine, it definitely has a libertarian air to it. Probably the most well-written of these types of sites.
Overlawyered.com
A weblog of news articles featuring overzealous lawyers and other things litigious in nature. Scary, scary read.

INTERNET

Slashdot
Heavy on the geekiness, there's still much in the way of tech news and issues even if you don't care about Linux v2.018675309
As the Apple Turns
The author is quite funny, but you really have to be an Apple-geek or be really anti-Microsoft to enjoy it. I guess I'm the exception.

It's the end of the world... again! &
A Brief History of the Apocolypse
Two funny, yet informative sites regarding all those people, churches, and organizations who predicted when the world will end.

Fade To Black
The updates are becoming fewer and farther between, but this is still a very funny site.
Parking Lot is Full
A truly twisted little comic strip site that unfortunately they've stopped making. Still the archives are here.

As far as I can tell this is a real site, despite it being a program to pay drug addicts to sterilize themselves. Despite having the acronym C.R.A.C.K. Pretty interesting read. Cash for birth control/ |

PERSONAL SITES
|
Dan's Wide World of Stuff
Possibly the most properly named website ever. It's run by Dan. It's got a whole lotta stuff covering a wide world of topics.
Thruthheim
Friend's website with Norse motif, but mostly about whatever strikes his mood at the time.
The Journal
Website of a friend of mine who I've known this side of forever. Not quite sure if he's a writer who also does techie stuff or techie who writes on the side. Definitely worth two looks either way.
Metal Slacker
Friend's site who tells stories about his life and opinion. The best part is his blog called one-timers, and unlike most personal websites you don't have to know the guy to enjoy it.
Gaffney Home Page
The artist pairings of the husband and wife Gaffneys features otherworldly type artwork that is both excellent and lacking in un-excellence.
Judge Drain
A cool friend's band website. I haven't yet heard them play, but I'm hoping this link will be rewarded with free cds and backstage passes once they hit it big.
Metal Maiden (Eve's site)
As this SAT analogy explains -- Jeffrey Dahmer : Killing and eating people :: Eve : The band Manowar
Your Mom's Box
Personally, I find this to be the coolest website name ever. It's going to be a general personal site (nothing dirty). It's empty right now but you can reach me at looking@yourmomsbox.com
