This is a collection of things on the Internet that I consider worth seeing. You might like some of them, or you might conclude that this list, this site, and even the entire Internet are an utter waste.

I also have mirrors of a few sites that are no more.


Visual Art
Akiyoshi's Illusion Pages
Optical illusions by Japanese psychology professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka. For more, see Michael Bach's site.
Alice Illustrators
Illustrations of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by different artists in the early 1900s.
Digital Blasphemy
Wallpapers and things by Ryan Bliss, who does some impressive work.
Exploding Dog
Sam Brown draws pictures based on captions that people send him.
Gort's Icons
Icons by Forrest Walker. I've been using his icons for years.
Human Descent
Interesting mixed up animals and things.
 
Pallalink
Kazuhiko Kawahara photographs ordinary scenes and manipulates the images in interesting ways.
Zdzislaw Beksinski
Surreal and sometimes unsettling paintings by Polish artist Zdzislaw Beksinski.

Comics
Boson
Cartoons by Christopher Ford. Some are morbid, some mean, some sad, and some just ponderous.
Mr. T vs. Everything
Katie Henkel's index of "Mr. T vs." comics. Some are better than others. A couple are even my own work.
Pokey the Penguin
A comic strip about some penguins, a snowman, and other things.
Sluggy Freelance
An online comic by Pete Abrams that I used to read a lot. All the old strips are archived.


Music
Chiptune
A well-designed site offering tons of chip music in different formats. It certainly beats the radio.
Last.fm
A nice service that tracks what you listen to and compiles statistics. They also have free music downloads.
The Music of Weird Paul
Paul Petroskey writes and records low fidelity songs about things like Atari, Scott Baio, Tang, and funerals.
Nectarine
An Internet radio station with almost nothing but demoscene and game music. See also SLAY Radio.
OverClocked ReMix
A huge collection of video game music arrangements. Many of them are excellent.
Remix.Kwed.Org
A fantastic collection of Commodore 64 music arrangements. See also Remix64 and C64 Audio.
Whitney Music box
Some musical experiments with visual harmony. See also Alveolata Noctiluca Neonlight--it's more interactive.


Movies
All Your Base Are Belong to Us
Somebody set up us the bomb. What you say.
 
Dancing Triforce
Amusing cartoons based on a questionable Zelda-inspired script called The Light of Courage. More backstory here.
Homestar Runner
I didn't see why people liked this site so much until I discovered "Strong Bad Email" in the 'Toons section.
Lasagna Cat
Garfield comics performed live and followed by short, clever, and sometimes bizarre music videos. Also available at YouTube.com.
Maxcon 05
A brilliant film documenting a fan club meeting for a terrible film.
Michael Quest III
A excellent Flash cartoon that outshines its sequels, Michael Fantasy and Michael Forever.
More
A stop-motion short film by Mark Osborne. Unrelated, but see also The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello.
Radiskull and Devil Doll
An excellent flash cartoon by Joe Sparks that has a catchy soundtrack.
Weebl's Stuff
Entertaining Flash cartoons with catchy music. My favorites are Magical Trevor (2 3 4), Kenya, and Scampi.


Video Games
Eyezmaze
A collection of interesting trial-and-error games. My favorite is GROW CUBE.
FlyGuy
The sort of thing that makes the Internet worth visiting.
 
The Independent Gaming Source
A site devoted to independent video games. See also Tim W.'s Web log.
Insert Credit
Unique video game news and reviews. See also The Gamer's Quarter.
Home of the Underdogs
A large repository of free computer games. I like their Scratchware Manifesto. See also Abandonia.
Orisinal
A collection of small, unique, and artistic Flash games. Unlike most Flash games, these are worth playing.
Samorost
A pretty strange Flash game. There's also a sequel. And Quest for the Rest is similar but a little less surreal.


Other
BoardGameGeek
An excellent resource for information about tabletop games. And Thought Hammer sells them at good prices.
Kiva
Microfinancing that anyone can take part in. They've had a lot of news coverage.
Kuro5hin
A system of user-posted news and essays and things with comments. See also Slashdot.
Metacritic
AN aggregator of reviews for books, video games, movies, and music.
Peter Pan's Home Page
Randy Constan is an interesting guy. Don't miss his fashion pages.
Pouët.net
Demos and related information. You can also find demos at monostep.org. My favorites are by farbrausch.
Skytopia
Daniel White's unique and extensive site. One of the more interesting personal sites I've come across.
Superbad
A fascinating project that defies description and changes often.
Castle ZZT
There's more to this site than you might think, but you might have to dig.
You're The Man Now Dog
This site has been around since at least 2001. At some point, other people began making their own. Here are a few of them:

I believe you have my stapler? | I believe you have my N-Gage? | What's new Khan | Picard song (full song) | Picard teaches art class | Professor X had one weakness | Professor X Tiger handheld | Cuppycake gumdrops | Tonka whoops | Loopy | Kitty | Google 8-bit maps | What is love? | What is NES? | What is goth? | What is Tiger? | What is Katamari? | Katametroid Damacy | Tiger Katamari | Pi | Agent Smith wants ice cream | Corn on the cob | Darth Barker kills contestant | Stapler with the power | N64 kid has DJ skills | N64 snail kid | MJ sign | Moskau don't slip | Zack's chainsaw | It's the claw | Nazi board game | Cosby Cosby | The Prince is Behind | (Warning: scary) A fairly tense situation (Warning: scary)
