Here you have arrived at the obligatory links page. Now, I've thought for a while, and I really can't imagine anything more uninteresting than looking at a bunch of somebody's favorite links. So you see, I'm confident that this page will feel right at home with the other pages on this site. Look, I had no choice, really. Personal web pages must always have a list of links. A sort of heretofore unwritten rule that must be followed.
Daily Content
Slashdot.org: News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters.The Onion. Online version of the famous satiric newspaper.
ESPN.com Best online sports coverage I've found.
Music
General
My nomination for the overall best site on the web is the All-Music Guide. It is simply incredible, with mountains of information on recorded music. I use this site probably as much as I use Yahoo, which is saying alot. Another favorite of mine is liveconcerts.com, which has scores of live concerts and radio shows in RealAudio format. I particularly like the radio show: "Morning becomes Eclectic," a nice play on words on the classic Eugene O'Neill tragedy "Mourning Becomes Electra." It takes its name very seriously, as the hosts interview just about any kind of musician there is, and a few non-musicians to boot. Great stuff.Artists
My favorite artist site used to be bobdylan.com. It has news and liner notes and lyrics and the usual stuff. What's great is that there is a minute-long clip of every song in the troubadour's catalog in RealAudio. Furthermore, there are a number of songs available at full-length, and they add more all the time. But now I think I like cowboyjunkies.com better. There's moreMinidisc
A comphrehensive site for all things Minidisc is to be had at The Minidisc community page. The Minidisc format has it's faults and it's not for everyone, but I have to admit that I'm in love with it. It's much more fun to plunder the libraries for music than to spend my summer savings on CD's. Instead, I spend my summer savings on Minidisc equipment... For trading, first see my page, then go to the Minidisc Trading Post for people willing to trade minidiscs by mail.Reference
I use dictionary.com all the time. There are a number of dictionaries available online, including the OED. But none of them have a URL that's so easy to remember. And the OED costs money. There's a great Japanese<=> English Dictionary on the web, which I use almost as often. (You don't need a japanese computer, by the way) For wonderful information on underground culture (which I have little participation in, but a deep fascination for), check out Hyperreal. There's a wealth of information on rave music and, um...stuff. They host a number of great resources on the subject of drug politics.
