Links and stuff
Here you will find a new tool for laziness for me. Did I say "laziness"? I meant ah... efficiency. Instead of remembering the URL for a website that I would like to tell someone about I can just say "Check out the link page on my website." :-)
Also, I can use it to show what important resources I know of for Web page development. Now not only can I mention what I thought to be obvious points about web design, I can now refer people to the web page about the scientific study at Sanford University about it. Then I can ask "Did any of the other candidates for this job know that, let alone can point out where it was scientifically proven? " :-)

- The Junkyard Wars Website What's cooler than Junkyard Wars? NOTHING! OK, the Americanizing of the show has been annoying, but it is still rather cool. The site isn't that great, but the show is so go there then following the link to the NERDS homepage which contains tonnes of Junkyard Wars info.
- The Homepage of Evan Mather, master of action figure cinema, the mind behind "Kung-Fu Kenobi" and an inspiration for me. :-)
Just in case my friends ask me to reciprocate links :-)
- Welcome to My World my very dear friend, Lynn's homepage.
- Bowldwellers This is a website containing photos of various crap that my friends and I have gotten up to since my brother bought his digital Camera. In a way it is an embryotic version of what will eventually be a whole entertainment site chalk full of amazing, dazzling, singing and dancing pointless crap, as opposed to just the small amount of pictures-only crap that is there now.
Why I am paranoid, and why I am convinced I am not paranoid enough
- Want to have the crap frightened out of you, and remove any lingering doubts about how large corporations run the world? Then check out Guerrilla News Network's coverage of Bob Kolody's lawsuit against Coco-Cola. In addition to being frightening it is a fascinating read. Please pay heed to the take action section.
