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.
Jacek Yerka
Surreal paintings by Polish artist Jacek Yerka.
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
Exploding Dog
Sam Brown draws pictures based on captions that people send him.
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.
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.
Homestar Runner
I didn't see why people liked this site so much until I discovered "Strong Bad Email" in the 'Toons section.
Video Games
GameFAQs
I'd think this is too well-known to warrant a link, but I still run into people who don't know about it.
Castle ZZT
There's more to this site than you see at first, but you have to
dig.
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.
Superbad
A fascinating project that defies description and changes often.
Vectorpark
Some excellent game and other things that aren't exactly games.
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.
