Here's an early sample of some links I found worthwhile. More will be added. If any of the link images are blank, try refreshing the screen.
Alex Grey is my favorite artist. He is most famous for designing the cover art for Tool's latest album, Lateralus. He also collaborated with the band's guitarist Alex Jones on the video Parabola, and his Sacred Mirrors exhibition was used extensively on Tool's latest tour.
The Internet Archive is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, they provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public.
Want to create a library on your computer? Project Gutenberg is the Internet's oldest producer of free electronic books (eBooks or etexts). Their present collection of more than 10,000 eBooks was produced by hundreds of volunteers. Most of the Project Gutenberg eBooks are older literary works that are in the public domain in the United States. All may be freely downloaded and read, and redistributed for non-commercial use.
Wikipedia is another example of the internet put to good use. It's a free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit.
Reference.com has it all: Dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, thesaureses, financial and medical information, almanacs, you name it, if you need information, it's all right there.
I find the google map page to be superior to both mapquest and yahoo maps.
This is the home page of Howard Bloom, whose books I enjoy. The left hand side of the page contains lots of links, including his bio, a selection of his writings, and a links page which includes Reference Sites for the Intellectually Omniverous.
This site is super awesome and it gets me totally pumped up!

Want to find out what's going on in the world? Me, too. I'm a news junkie. Here's a collection of links that range from the mainstream to the ungerground. Some are news links, some government, some are hard to describe. By the way, I have no political affiliations, I merely collect information from any available source. Oh, and I included the Fox News link just as a joke. Obviously.
Want to keep an eye on your government? Use the Freedom Of Information Act. As a tax-paying citizen, it's your right. Each federal department has its own FOIA office, in order to make sure you can't get all of the information you want in one easy step. Break through the obfuscation. Click here or here for an overview.
