The random links that I come across and suggest that you visit.

AlterNet is independent and alternative journalism. I first visited for THIS article, and ended up reading a series of articles by Scheer. Brutally honest about U.S. policy in Iraq, with continuing coverage HERE.

Defective Yeti: Matthew Baldwin brings out the funny side of everything. You cannot read things like this and fail to laugh. Current events from a slightly Onion-esque perspective.


Go: An incredible article. The most complete overview I've read.
This little work of sci-fi was also a neat, if dry, piece from kuro5hin.org.

IF: Interactive Fiction / Text Adventures. Those of you who are old enough will remember or have heard of Zork. Decades later, the genre is still alive. Check out these sites if you're curious: Brass Lantern, IF Archive, XYZZY, SPAG.
