Other Places

These are some other web sites that I find interesting or worthy. Perhaps you will, too.

My Friends

Some of my friends also maintain a presence on the web.

• Craig Brooks- Has some silly and interesting stuff on his page. I can even claim authorship for a few excerpts!
• John Cataldo- with information about John.
• Elissa Goldberg- has one page all about a trip we took to Florida.
• Kate Korolenko- Beware! Kate has embedded wave files on her page. Shame on you, Kate!
• Daniel Rinehart- Dan has a page centered largely around his life. It's also got some good stuff about the original Quake console, and some other goodies.

Comics

I follow a number of comic strips on a daily basis. Some are available in newspapers, but several are exclusively published on the web.

• Dilbert- Mostly about the twisted world of the corporation.
• Doonesbury- A thirty-year old comic that continues to remain current and engaging. I particularly enjoy the continuing storyline and developing characters. Most of the entire 30-year run of Doonesbury is available in an archive at this site.
• General Protection Fault- About geeks at a software development company.
• Get Fuzzy- Bucky the Cat. And some other characters.
• Goats- Possibly the most bizarre comic strip I follow. It definitely passes the farthest beyond the bounds of good taste. I also really enjoy the art in this comic.
• Monty (formerly Robotman)- This comic appears to be fairly mundane one day, and then oddly bizarre the next. Usually funny, though, if not the most exciting artistically.
• PVP- This is an amusing strip if you happen to have had any contact with people who spend lots of time with computer or video games.
• Sluggy Freelance- About a web designer, a freelance inventer and layabout, a college co-ed, an alien, a ferret, and a homicidal rabbit. And those are just the regular characters.
• User Friendly- About geeks at an ISP.

Other Amusing Places

I love finding sources of amusement on the web. Here are a few sites that appeal to my sense of humor on a regular basis (if not exactly all the time).

• The Brunching Shuttlecocks- An assortment of humorous and bizarre short pieces.
• Dave Barry- A nationally syndicated columnist, Dave Barry writes weekly columns that comment on the finer points of life.
• The Modern Humorist- More funny stuff. The Modern Humorist contains mostly satirical humor covering a broad range of subjects.
• The Onion- The on-line version of a weekly satirical newspaper. The Onion is irreverent and tasteless.
• SatireWire- More satirical humor. SatireWire focuses on current trends in technology and the business world surrounding technology. It also contains the BushBlog, writtern from the point of view of President Bush.
