We got a lotta stuff here

Here are some interesting places to visit. Don't be too surprised if some of them are either hard to get to, very busy, terribly strange, or out of order.

We're not responsible for anything not actually located here.

Some really weird shit...

Internet Information Goldmines

• If you're at all curious about the early days, back when we all started with 8-bit CPUs and 4K or less of RAM, be sure and visit the Obsolete Computer Museum. No, the world did not begin with the 80486.
• Wanna know about Lotus Notes? It's cool and wonderful. It gives me a reason to go to work. Now that Domino 4.5a is out, I don't know how I can even go to sleep, there's so much cool stuff this thing can do. Go here and read all about it. If you missed LotuSphere, be sure and visit the Virtual LotuSphere 1997 site. Have plenty of bandwidth available before you do, OK?
• Galaxy Directory Services, which was nice enough to list us. Thanks, Stephanie!
• BubbaNet -- Be sure and get your feed cap and a sixer of Buds before you stop in.
• Erik Deckers wants to be known as a humorist, so visit his page and, well, humor him... he's actually pretty good. Be sure and check out the "Big Johnson" mail order catalogue!
• The Internet Speed-Trap Registry -- don't get fried your next time out on the road!
• Search The WebCrawler - one of the the absolute best places to look for stuff
• The massive FTP archive at Washington University of St. Louis - expect to have to wait to get into this site
• What's New On The Internet - maintained by NCSA
• Nationwide Weather from Michigan State University
• Worldwide Internet Product Information - looking for something to waste yer money on? Try here.
• Amtrak Schedules Online - subject to how Newt's digestive tract is feeling today

Useful Links to other people's links lists:

(Do you have some time to waste? Here you go...)

• Brian Decker's links page
• Mike Sattler's Home Page -- lots of stuff, including digital video info and CU-SeeMe
• The Cornell CU-SeeMe videoconferencing freeware FTP site
• Al Weiner's Home Page - useful CGI-related stuff

Spam-related Links:

• The incredible, revolting SpamCam! I can't even begin...
• Out of the blue, I got a link to the North Louisiana SPAM Page. Guess it's a big thing down there.
• Find The SPAM
• Don't SPAM Santa...
• Dan Garcia's SPAM Page
• Josh Warnick's Ultimate Spam List
• Bob Gorman's Page O'Spam

Graphics, artwork, and other vandalism

• A simple explanation of graphics formats for those of you putting together a page
• The Mentos Gallery, described by its keeper, Dan Wood, as "a horrible butchering of great art." WE have a couple of creations in the gallery, so...
• The Space Moose Home Page - probably the strangest cartoons on the net. Space Moose is cool. Space Moose is far out. Space Moose is my hero. Moved, December 1997! New URL!
• Flaming Carrot Comics - inexplicable but compelling
• Andrew Wheeland's Home Page -- strange, strange indeed. Check out Keb's Artwork.
• A Gallery of Portraits of Bovines
• The gallery of Astrida Valigorsky - truly strange digital collages and other material

MPEG and desktop-video-related stuff

• MPEG-related Sources, including code

MPEG Movies:

Desktop Video Information

Desktop video sources and vendors

• The Electronic Mailbox, source for lots of cool DTV gear and advice
• Videonics, source for some interesting gadgets for DTV
• Radius, source of higher-end DTV products, specializing in Macs
• Digital Processing Systems, makers of the Personal Animation Recorder
• FAST, makers of the highly-regarded FPS60
• Adobe, makers of Adobe Premiere, my personal favorite editing tool. Precious little support for the Windows version on this site, I'll warn you now...

Blues-Related Stuff

Note! The blues links took up a lot of space, so they have been moved to That Blues Music Page so they can spread out and take up the space they deserve.

Music-Related Stuff

Some decent places out on the Information Parking Lot:

• SoundBytes from town.hall.org
• The American Memory Project (Library of Congress) (check this out!)
• Postmodern Culture magazine
• The Dave Letterman Late Night Page (sorta weird)
• The Princeton University Marching Band (extremely weird)
• SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) Page
• NASA's home page
• The National Public Radio home page
• Doctor Fun at sunsite.unc.edu -- expect a slow connection... they're busy
• The Simpsons Archive - slow but interesting. It's Homer and Bart, not O.J.
• The Loyola University (Baltimore) Sparkle Web Page -- beware, it's a 92K clickable map! Text-unfriendly!

Some really boring and worthless places on the Information Parking Lot:

• The FCC home page
• SSA's home page
• The General Services Administration home page

If you find that any of these links are consistently not connecting, and you think they may be dead or obsolete, send me a note about it. This does not mean that you nag me the instant one stinkin' link doesn't work... the Web is not perfect and your host may not be perfect. But if you find that a site states that it is going away permanently, or is moving, let me know.
