Providers of graphics and other stuff:

PROZACADEMIA: not the antidepressant/antianxiety medication, but incredibly squizz backgrounds and other art-y things used herein. Go look. Really. And they're neighbors :)

the DepARTment Store: Other also-neighbors, these folks have put together an attractive, easily-navigated site. Especially if you've ever been in an old-style department store. And I know some of you have been...

MadCow Graphics: Their page loads slowly, but it's worth the wait. Many tasty, juicy graphics here, as well as instructions on their care and feeding.

Laurie McCanna's Free Art:  My previous front-logo featured a couple of her drop-caps. It doesn't anymore, but you really should go have a look. If not for Laurie, I wouldn't have cool fonts or inspirations at all. Go.

Jeffrey Zeldman Presents: Molto icon-age and some genuinely disturbing other things. Go look down Fluffy's path, and see what I mean! Then go look at Zeldman.

The Gallery of the Absurd: This link may be a dead one. Let me know if you find him! The guy who runs this is a partially twisted individual -- but remarkably harmless, all things being equal.

The Kook's Museum: A recent trip to this site revealed the following "NOTE: This is the former site of the Kooks Museum. I'm sorry, but due to the caprice of its former curator, the Kooks Museum, as you once knew it, no longer exists." However, there's still some pretty kinky stuff. I snagged a conspiracy theory or two from here once or twice and it's worth the trip to see what other horrors might await.

Conspire.Com presents "At long last, we offer selections from our own, cherished library of enlightened crackpot literature," including, one would hope,their book (70 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time) and so you should go have a look and buy it if you can and if this sort of thing interests you. And if this sort of thing interests you, I don't see how you can help yourself from buying it. Muahaha.

MST3K has a bunch of websites online. This is one of them. It's the one where I snagged the silhouette. And yes, I am a Fan. My InfoClub number is Googol. There's a lot more than standard MST3K stuff here, so go look.

HTML Goodies Homepage: Incredibly, intensely helpful tutorials in the basic Stuff of page-building, including a Genuine Rant.

GeoCities: My Sponsor :) Get your own free FREE homepage here, etc.

SoHo Community Page(s): GeoCities, my sponsor, gives me lots of places to look for help in setting up a page. This is one of those places.

html help's Home Page: This is another of my helpful neighbors.

PaintShopPro 4.12 Tips & Tricks: I've spent several weeks just working on text effects alone! Webweaver sets it out in steps which are simple-to-understand without condescending, lavishly illustrated, and easily navigated. Thanks, Webweaver!(3/26/2k update: PSP4 does not exist anymore; the site is now a PSP 6 tips n tricks. Gotta stay with the times, man!)

Paint Shop Pro Web Graphics: Another good one, with even more stuff! Site sometimes down, but seems to be because the author is upgrading.  When I had a problem, the author emailed me back promptly. This is more than I can say for some of my web-neighbors :/

JASC:  Go get Paint Shop Pro and have a look at it. Man, this thing rules! Then pay for it.

Or, if you'd rather get your clip art ready made...
Barry's Clip Art Server: what an enormous collection of stuff!
Caboodles: Even more stuff!
Graphics Gallery: the little jester's hats came from here, as did a bunch of other stuff. The first of the clip-art-y, html-help-y places I found, and he's a neighbor! :)
Art Today: Has all of Dover's "duty-free" clipart and a bunch of other stuff. IF you feel like paying for it. As an absolutely broke grad student, I won't be paying for art for awhile, myself.

Or, you can slog around the net til you find just what you're looking for. By hand. Like I did with
Joe Camel: This one's a "not-so subliminal look," and it's a finalist in the Zagnuts, man. I used the camel face for my First-Ever graphics attempt :D

More Zagnut finalists include: a Clown Defamation League kind of thing called "Clowns are Evil Incarnate"--- another with a clown-related theme is "Another Senseless Clown Death"--like much to do with the red-nosed ones, this is both hysterically funny and tragically sad, plus it's  horrible. Sadly, it appears to be down, as of 3/26/2k. There's a guy around here quoting Marx out of context, and he's calling himself Professor Wagstaff.

Oh wow. Hey, I've looked at Matthew McConaughey from a bunch of different angles, and ya know? I just don't see anything on him that doesn't make me say "yum!" [looking again] nope. It's all really nice to look at.

Other entertaining finds--
Dave Barry in Cyberspace: He used to have his "home-page" here, but now it's all about the books. If you want to read his column, goto here and scroll down til you find him. (It's the Miami Herald online). I'll be here when you're done. I'll have plenty of Pez here, in fact, I have 2 Pez Pages listed Right Here! Regardez-vous... (or is that "regarPEZ-vous"?)
Michael's Main Pez Page:  hey, another GeoCities neighbor! Plus he has the Pez Breakout game which sounded really really fun but didn't work on my puter. Poo. If you get it to work, tell me how!
And then there's:  Pezrose Place, which I think should bother us all. It certainly makes my sleep uneasy. (A Heather Locklear Pez Dispenser? It could happen!) Fortunately for those of us still a teensy bit sane, the site appears to be dead (as of 3/26/2k)
The Dilbert Zone:  Yeah, big surprise, huh? Sort of like linking to Yahoo or something. Not like everyone on the planet doesn't already know where this place is, right? Sheesh. Still, it's like traditional.
Internet Movie Database: Also traditionally included in the Thinking Person's Links. It really is a fairly incredible thing, that database. Lotsa stuff, and a fairly intimidating indexing system, too! Just like a regular library! Oo!
Pete's TV Wavs: Whenever my computer makes its funny X-Files or Millenium sounds (sometimes Friends), I think fondly of Pete's. Sadly, this is another downed link, although you might be able to link to his friends if you look. It'd be worth it! (3/26/2k)
Slinky Around the World Page: This kind of belongs near to Gallery of the Absurd, since it is a fairly absurd notion. Some of the photos are funnier than dirt, tho. I mean, how does one coax a guy in a Donald Duck costume to shuss a slinky for the camera? I can barely get those guys to hold a pen and sign my little autograph book! But now I've said too much.
Quasi-Comprehensive Candy Bar Wrapper Image Archive: Dang! It's gone! (3/26/2k) Maybe if we all clap hands and wish real hard, the gods will bring some more of the folk who specialize so completely and obsessively on their web pages! Otherwise I would never have found a Zagnut wrapper image for my award.  And speaking of specialized web pages...
The One and Only Q-Tips Homepage:  Just when you thought it couldn't get nuttier, some lawyer-types from Cheseborough-Ponds came down with legal action against the site's owner. This is a genuine tragedy, but we can support non-censorship on the 'net by getting nice and riled by the Genuine Rant on the front "HUH?" page. If you look closely at my site (here) you might find evidence of this author's single-handed single-minded drive to get Q-Tips pasted all over the 'net. Sort of like they are on your bathroom floor, around the trash thing. The author has now declared war, in the form of the "Cue Tip Page"--have a look. 'Tain't the same, cap'n, but it'll do til Pond's unclenches its collective sphincter.
Self-Discovery Workshop Database: Think you might want to IQ(tip?) test yourself or maybe your dog? Don't be silly, you can't IQtest a dog! Without opposable thumbs, howz a dog gonna hold a #2 pencil?!
Dr. Bob's Home Page: I make fun of madness here on my little site, because I figure ya laff or ya scream, and screaming ain't good for da pipes. There are some places and people who don't make so much fun, though, and Dr. Bob is one. Good information here.
Psych Web List of Scholarly Psych Resources on the Web: A government-issue Web Site, and appropriately named for a gov't issued Website, doncha think? Screams with originality. But what the heck. I can tell you, having majored in this stuff, that the non-gov't-issue publications don't exactly sing with zippy titles, either. So if you're into this sort of thing, here's a place you can go roll around in it.
Bipolar Disorder: A site with a NIMH publication explaining, exploring and generally discussing one of my own personal favorite demons.
Come On In! (Christopher Moore's Homepage): Speaking of demons...go email his publisher and beg them not to take Practical Demonkeeping out of print. If you don't know why you should do this, then go read Coyote Blue and/or Bloodsucking Fiends. Then you'll understand. Plus he's nice to look at.

Further Miscellany:
such as, fonts:
Fontaholics Anonymous: Wow, wotta lotta links this woman has! I found many wonderful things jumping off her links page, and I'll bet you do too. Plus, it's a beautifully constructed page, she's enthusiastic and funny, and just, well, go. [3/26/2k] Well, they've gone.
f o n t(39): Mondo Grungio. I feel hipper simply for having passed their portal. Plus I got a keen font or two. [3/26/2k] Another one bites the dust.
Bihidryed Fonts and Art: Support my neighbor and use the stuff! The art is a trip.
InDigest Press Home Page: Must be experienced to be fully appreciated. Thar be fonts, too, I'm thinkin'
Desktop Publishing.com: This is the front page for a huge collection of information. Believe me. It's huge. I sort of stick to the Photoshop area, on the grounds that Photoshop and Paint Shop are friendly and share filters and stuff.

Adobe Systems Incorporated: Makes a different graphics program that is apparently rather compatible with Paint Shop. Or the other way 'round. At any rate, many of the filters and stuff are interchangeable. So if you prefer Photoshop to PaintShop, go here to find more info on it.

ICQ--I Seek You: Man, this is a hip thing, a chat software you can use online even if you're not on, like, AOL. Instant messages :) and chat windows you can use and continue to surf. Everybody should have this. Plus it's free (so far).

C|Net Download.Com: Its bookmark came attached to my Netscape 4.01, and when I noticed, I was very happy to see it. Meant I wouldn't have to looking for it every time (plus I'd lost all my bookmarks in the Great Netscape Crash of Summer 97, which probably didn't make your local papers, but man! it was all the news over here!)   So you can get anything you want (exceptin' Alice) right here.

WWWomen: There is a growing subgroup of women online being feminist-ly involved in making contacts and networks between themselves and other women online. This is their search engine, and I think I'm on it. Cyberspace: It ain't just for NerdBoys no more!

Pantone: the Power of Color. Color for design, for textiles, for publishing...if you don't know color, man! Go here!

Warner Bros. Animation Home Page: No particular reason for putting this here, except that I'm jus' wild about Bugs/Daffy/YakkoWakkoDotPinkyBrain/Freakazoid/BabsBuster. If you're not, maybe you're missing something grand. There are some really creative people out there, and they're not all at Disney.

The Conspiracy ArcHive: Some leftover conspiracy links, starting with this one. I like it! [3.26.2k] The ones I like best are the ones that go away. Sigh.
Mr. DNA's Electron Shack: A lone voice in the Great Zombie Hunt. Take heart: the zombies of the world will soon fall.
Bert is Evil!: That's Bert as in Bert and Ernie. This one's either incredibly funny or incredibly frightening. Either way, its questionable taste makes it a thumbs-up winner in my book!

A few of my known neighbors and sometime accomplices:
Billigan's Island: He's my buddy. Not just a GeoCities neighbor, but a San Diego one as well. This link goes directly to his link page (which is impressive, btw), but do have a look around the rest of it too.
Grass Shoe Meadow People: I love them. I am cooler for knowing them. Plus I won one of their contests once. By default, but still.
The Low-Budget MST3K Site: Really not so low-budget, at least in its appearance, but if they wanna call themselves that, who am I to say anything, ya know?
Jeff's Home Page: Useful link for yet another set of Paint Shop Pro tips n tricks. Really, there aren't that many of these out there.
Moon over Parma: Bring my love to me tonight...a Drew Carey page! Sweet. If you're a Major Fan, follow the Drew Carey Ring! Or join the Drewids!
Delectable Borders: Arranged by color group, and nicely laid out.
Siren: Beached: My cute way of linking back to my front page :) 

 
As ever, if you find a non-working link, or see one on a theme listed here, or you just wanna tell me about a favored website of yer own, don't hesitate to email me care of this station.

If you tell this many friends, then twice this will visit here.
