Some People I Know with Web Sites
It seems that almost everyone in this list hasn't touched their web sites for many months.
- Tim Botham, a friend from SFU.
I have photos of him here.
- Dave Ashley, a friend from
Catapult. This guy is one serious computer hacker.
- Eric Snider, of "Eric's Ultimate Solitaire" fame.
I know him from Catapult.
- Jeff Anderson. He's a
nice fellow I used to work with who writes self-proclaimed cheesy, but fun games for DOS/Windows.
Technology
-
Macintouch
-
Macintosh tricks, tips, and rumours. New content added daily by
Ric Ford, long-time MacWeek contributor. Excellent; worth checking daily.
-
MacSurfer
-
Launching pad for all sorts of Macintosh resources. Current Macintosh news,
updated several times a day!
-
MacOS Rumors
-
Often laughably inaccurate, and outrageous, but a good read nonetheless.
-
Apple Computer, Inc.
-
Apple. You know, Macintosh. The original consumer GUI. I'm an Apple sympathizer. The site used to be really bad.
It's now pretty good. Configure a Mac online, and buy it.
Media
-
The Economist
-
British newsweekly with economical internationist slant.
-
FAIR: Rush Limbaugh Debates Reality
-
FAIR is a media watchdog group. This particular piece is a collection of Rush Limbaugh's
misstatements along with countering arguments. An excellent work for those who appreciate
critical thinking. Also features a rebuttal by Mr. Limbaugh, and a rebuttal
to the rebuttal. Intended to be a serious critical analysis. Sometimes pedantic,
often spot-on. Incidentally hilarious.
-
Noam Chomsky Archives
-
Noam Chomsky started his academic career as a linguist, and has since become more of a political
activist. He has an unusual liberal libertarian political slant.
The movie Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media is one of my
favourites, but is difficult to find. It is available at Amazon.com.
Movies
-
Chicago Tribune Eulogy for Gene Siskel
-
The world lost Gene Siskel on February 20, 1999. He will be greatly missed.
-
Siskel & Ebert
-
The official site for the TV show, featuring Shockwave audio recordings
of their reviews off the show. If you miss the show, go here for a summary --
or to hear the real thing (if you don't mind downloading Shockwave).
-
Roger Ebert's Movie Reviews
-
Ebert's written reviews for the Chicago Sun-Times featured on the Sun-Times' web site.
-
Internet Movie Database
-
Huge amount of movie and television show information, including cast, crew,
rating, business, reviews, plot summaries and more. Now owned by Amazon.com.
Humourous Sites
-
Bob the Angry Flower
-
A site with many interesting and clever cartoons, apparently done by an amateur.
Strange, outrageous, interesting, bizarre, fun.
Well worth checking out. Some strips
also feature a foetus as a principal character, somehow
drawn to appear cute. This feat alone warrants further examination.
-
The Onion
-
Online satirical newspaper. New content appears weekly. Laugh-out loud funny.
Strongly recommended. You will laugh.
-
Dilbert
-
Features archive of Dilbert comics.
Some Other, Kind of Boring Sites, Listed for Completeness' Sake

Prince George, British Columbia
-
The city I was born and lived in until age seven.
-
Simon Fraser University
-
My undergraduate institution. I'm sure it's very interesting, as far as university sites go.
No. Really.
-
UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles)
-
Another university site!
-
Health Hero Network
-
