Chronicles of George
My other web site. Read about George, the hapless, hopeless helpdesker.
Chronicles of George Forums
The Chronicles discussion forums. Interact with me and other bitter techs. Vent your own angst. It's loverly.
Friday &
Saturday Night
Cogent, lucid film reviews by one of my best friends in the world. Maltin
is a hack compared to this guy.
Slashdot
Geeky news bites and discussion. Sometimes thoughful, sometimes baffling, but always interesting. Beware the Linux zealots.
Ars Technica
The web's premiere tech enthusiast site. Everything you ever wanted to know about anything worth knowing about.
SomethingAwful
Site of some of the best ICQ pranks ever seen by mortal man. And JeffK lives here.
Metafilter
The epitome of webbiness--tons of news snippets about all kinds of stuff. The liberal leanings of most of the posters are kind
of cute, in a quaint sort of way.
Penny Arcade
It's the web comic with the most, baby. The most monkeys, that is.
Megatokyo
A touching story of funniness and stuff. Updated as often as possible by a frequently-harried artist, it's my favorite web comic.
Explodingdog
If you go to any site on this list, go to this one. It will fix whatever's wrong with you.
Operation Clambake
Scientology is a fraud. Here's why.
Much of Bowling for Columbine was staged, relying on tricky editing to turn
believable situations into apparent lunacy. The banner says it all--Michael Moore is a liar.
North American Networks
NANC is graciously providing free web hosting for both this blog and
the Chronicles of George. Consider them for your web hosting needs--they've a fast network with bandwidth to spare, reasonable
rates, and extremely competent and friendly personnel.
