Connections to other people's cool stuff
O.K., if you have some time to kill (and if you didn't, you wouldn't be here, would
you...), kick back, order a Cyber-
Pizza
from Beej, and check out a few
of the pages I like.
The best is unquestionably RockWeb, which
was created by my friend Luke and a bunch of other people. I've been doing a
little bit of work for them coding HTML, and they're providing my Page o'Hapiness
with a home, so I am biased. Still, it's pretty nifty.
Incidentally, RockWeb's not a good representation of my personal musical taste.
I'm not very adventurous musically, if you want to know the truth. At home I
mostly listen to Michelle Schoked, Peter Gabriel, Oingo Boing, Devo, Peter Simon,
Tom Lehrer, Arne Saba, and (my favorites!) They Might Be
Giants. I listen to oldies on the radio. No kidding.
When I first started this pages, I had hoped to create a Magic Eight-Ball
server as my first original content, but Troy Downing already has one up and
running, so this is just a link to his.
If you go to Robert Stockton's
home page, you'll find a bunch of classic children's books (see the
bookshelf
below for a sampling), and lots of other interesting material ranging from HTML
manipulation tools to renaissance music information
O.K...I don't believe in astrology or tarot readings or any of the
mystical prognostication stuff (except for the Magic Eight-Ball, which
actually works, as we all know). Still, I really like this Tarot page...
(It's a bit slow-moving, so it's best to use it when you have time to spare or
a lightning-fast connection.)
Naturally, I have a link to Bianca's
Smut Shack. I want to quote Tom Lehrer's song lyric ("give me smut and
nothing but..."), except that Bianca has lots of cool stuff, some of which isn't
smutty at all (darn).
Also, here's a link to
Yahoo, so you can jump out
of here if you want to find somewhere new to surf.
And finally, my bookshelf full of borrowed books:
The
script to the movie The Princess Bride
Healthwise, a listing of
health questions and answers from the Columbia University Health Service
Wired Magazine
These books are all "borrowed" from
RGS's home page...
The Wizard of Oz
The Marvelous Land of Oz,
both by L. Frank Baum
Anne of Green Gables
Anne of
Avonlea, and
Anne of the Island
by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Twelfth Night
by William Shakespeare
Dracula
by Bram Stoker
The Red Badge of Courage
by Stephen Crane
The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,
by Lewis Carrol, with illustrations
(or get
Alice in non-illustrated form,
from Tom L at Indiana University)
Alice
Through the Looking Glass, also from Tom L at Indiana University.
