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
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.
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
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.
Movies
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.
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.
Orisinal
A collection of small, unique, and artistic Flash games. Unlike most Flash games, these are worth playing.
Other
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.
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.
