icon  Archaeology

  • Irish Atlantis -- Turns out I was close. Atlantis was Ireland. Now if you believe that, I know of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow I'm willing to sell ya.
  • The Howick House -- The oldest house in England is nearly 10,000 years old and was lived in for a good century.

  • Devil Pig Studios -- Don't Hate The Potentate! This site is as hillarious as it is masterful, I could hang out there all day.
  • Don Seegmiller -- An excellent oil painter and digital artist. Author of one of my favorite illustration books Digital Character Design and Painting - definitely check it out.
  • J. Scott Campbell -- Bruce's little brother? I can't remember, but Danger Girl I will never forget. Very very cool.
  • Phil Noto -- Yet another person to add to my list of people to envy endlessly.
  • Ralph Bakshi -- Had more say in the feel of the late 70's/ early 80's than any animator should.
  • Rodney Matthews -- It's pretty scary when you're best described as Roger Dean on acid (think of Matthews as the Chong to Dean's Cheech). Even scarier, and quite inspiring, is that both confess to not using drugs to get their ideas. Although I tend to get suspicious when people have to swear they are not on drugs. Still, excellent, excellent art.
  • Roger Dean -- The Yes man, or better known as the man who designed all the cool other worldly album covers for Yes and Asia. At times I liked them better than the bands. Definitely check out his Architecture. It's more California than California has been in years!

  • Edmund Scientific -- Nerd Heaven! Where else can you buy a solar powered remote control hovercraft which you assemble yourself? So Cool!
  • George Gobel is God -- You've probably already seen it. It's become something of an internet classic, but I love it to death. George Gobel using liquid oxygen to light a charcoal grill. It doesn't get any hotter than this!
  • Obscure Patents -- Quick proof that genius and intelligence do not always run hand-in-hand.
  • Spud Tech -- Because what the world needs now - is a spud gun the size of a howitzer.

  • Icon town -- A great site which is all about getting really reaallllly small.

body
icon  Design

  • Verner Panton in the Design Museum -- Vernon Panton is one of my favorite all-time designers. A mix of Frank Lloyd Wright, Andy Warhol, and Santa Claus
  • Vernon Panton by Hive Modern -- Here is where you can buy VP Designs, providing you have ridiculous amounts of money to burn.
  • Vernon Panton Home Page? -- Nicely done, but for some reason this doesn't feel right. Doesn't .ch stand for Checkoslovakia? Still, be sure to check out Phantasy Landscape

  • Scott Reston -- An old friend from Junior High on whose PS/2 we use to waste time incessantly (some things never change).
  • The Toughest Job - Brian D Reeves -- This is the blog of a friend of mine who has run off to join the Peace Corps (yes, I do seem to have that effect on people). Click here to see how he's doing - in Guyana.

icon  Fun Stuff

  • Bug Eyed Monster -- Because your Micronauts may have self destructed after five minutes of play, but they've never really gone away.
  • Gvod - Google Video Of the Day -- I have never laughed this hard at the internet; except back in days of dial-up (but that was a different kind of laughter to be sure.)
  • Peeps Research -- Because we can never know enough about those sugar covered sponge birds who only migrate in around easter.
  • Retro Crush -- Because everything which was never cool to begin with is now not cool again
  • The '80s Arcade Game Collection -- It's almost a law of nature, creativity springs from restriction. The games of today look smashing but its always the same old thing over and over (driving, shooting, fighting, and sports). In the '80s they had almost nothing to work with, but wow.... Get the frog across the road, who could have ever guessed so many hours could be wasted this way!

icon  Heroes

  • Bruce Campbell -- The man with the chin is - in a word - Groovy. Why he is on the B-list while Keanu Reeves is on the A-list is something I may never understand.
  • Buckminister Fuller -- The good and the odd. Read bucky biography before conquering his books, if you can get past his slightly eccentric way of writing you'll find them to be very enlightening.
  • Justin O. Schmidt -- This man definitely needs a new hobby, like snorting altoids. I mean, how bored do you have to be?

body
icon  Music

  • Monogoloid -- As sung by the Vienna Boys Choir!? What's wierd is that they're not kidding.
  • The Aquabats! -- Imagine the big blue Tick, multiplied by 10, and totally rocking out with nerdy abandon.

    Yes, it's just that good!

body
icon  Politics

  • Buy Blue! -- Because when your vote doesn't seem to count, you can always depend on your money being taken seriously.
  • Dick Cheney for President Thong -- What's sad is that someone is actually serious about this. It is a scary scary world we live in.
  • Election Fraud -- It's from Rolling Stone, yet consider it required reading.
  • Michael Moore -- Michael Moore is the superego of the nation. Yeah, we hate him. We hate having him around to remind us of all that is wrong with this country. But. He's right.
  • New Dream -- A very good idea.
  • Sell The Ranch -- A simple site with a simple message it's time we impeach the stupid doofus we have in office.
  • Stop the NRA -- Since I was a kid I've always wanted to own a submachinegun. But if this means living in a world where anyone can own a submachinegun, I am afraid I'll have to pass.
  • The Athiest Agenda -- It was bound to happen. A militant athiest organization of students in Texas (of all places :-) who are trading porn for Bibles.

  • Design Ireland -- A good programming site from one of my favorite places on Earth.
