Howard Gibson's Fun Links
Here are places I like to go on the web.
- Salon.com

Online magazine
- Slashdot
-
Mostly Linux and UNIX stuff.
- The Register
-
Mostly computer news, plus the latest
BOFH
articles.
- The Straight Dope
-
Apparently, Cecil Adams knows everything.
- Engineering Tips
-
This is an engineering forum I found on the internet. You can log in
and ask technical questions. You can be helpful and answer some of
the questions if you know what you are talking about.
-
Web Pages That Suck
-
Vincent Flanders. Learn good design by looking at bad design.
- Urban Legends Reference Page
-
Check out
http://www.snopes.com
before you pass around those weird, unbelievable stories.
Break the Chain
is another good site for this.
-
Annals of Improbable Results
-
This was intended to be the successor to the
Journal of Irreproducible Results, the "Journal of results that
cannot, or should not be reproduced."
The JIR is still around.
- Project Gutenburg

This is a project to create digital copies of old, public domain
books.
