| American Transcendentalism Web This webpage has all, and I do mean all, of the canonical Transcendental texts. For free. It's the best, ever. It goes so far as to have little handy study notes on some of the buzzwords and famous phrases. You will never need to buy another copy of Walden again. Inksplot Studios The webpage of one of my best friends, herself a phenominally talented artist and all around wonderful person. Go check it out, buy her stuff, and then send her money, for she is, like me, a poor college student, and well deserves, in this capitalist culture, monetary recognition of the fact that she is so damn talented. Readerville.com An online community for readers and writers, you say, frequented by such folks as Neil Gaiman and Dan Chaon, you say? Heavens to murgatroid, I must see this blessed site for myself, you say! And I say, you are a better person for it. DeviantArt.com Did I mention that I like art? Yeah, if you are the kind of person who customizes your computer, this webpage has just about everything to make your GUI look cool. And it also has a great amount of non-computer-specific art by independent artists that you can purchase and hang up on your wall or put in a frame and display on your actual desktop. Comics2film I am a terrific geek. So I visit this webpage a lot. The news is from all over, and the fan art is pretty good (and some of it is even mine!) so if you feel like wallowing in the sweaty armpits of the internet culture, look no further, for this is a site both for men who dress as Borg for fun and men who make pictures of Borg on their computer. They get laid less than I do--which is actually, when you stop to think about it, pretty easy. I love my girlfriend. Old English at the UVA This website will teach you phonemes, spellings, catchphrases, and vocabulary in the granddaddy of your native tongue. So what are you waiting for? It's better than breakfast cereal! The Old English Library Only one of many sites online that features Old English texts untranslated, this site is a wonderful source of tongue-twisting nigh unpronounceable texts about sex and death and Christianity. Sluggy Freelance A webcomic with something for just about everyone: mechs, tenchcoat wearers with big guns, gamer jokes, beautiful women, and a talking rabbit with a switchblade. |
