Wasting Time?

New!

Crap from the Past: I've been listening to this radio show on line for the past year and I can't believe I haven't given it a link before now. Ron "Boogiemonster" Gerber hosts the retro show to end all retro shows. My favorite shows are the Old School Rap show, or maybe it's the show where he played "DUR DUR D'ETRE BEBE" by Jordy back to back with David Hasselhoff.

Duluthcam: daily dioramas from two guys who've got a lot of time on their hands and a lot of love for a special Conan the Barbarian doll. Thanks to Jim for the tip on this one.

Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics
The Basics of Semiconductor Physics and pictures of teen idol Britney Spears in one super fantastic web site. What's next? N'synch on Supersymmetric Gauge Theory?

Russia is behind the Camera
From Valimaa to Russia: a web cam monitoring traffic from Valimaa, Finland to Russia. When Microsoft asked the question, "where do you want to go today?" they never dreamed it would be here. But that's the cool thing about web cams, you're just a click away from a snapshot of the other side of the world. I can't resist checking in every day for a little hit of the bleak, existential scene. One day I saw a guy who looked like Bob Dylan standing by the side of the road. Who will you spot? 

Sweatshop Watch web page devoted to eliminating the Gap, Inc.'s Saipan sweatshop. Also note that the Gap has recently been found paying Chinese Immigrants in the former Soviet Union $.11 an hour to make their stupid vests. Also note that Gap, Inc also owns Old Navy and the appropriately-named Banana Republic clothing brands.

Illustrator and afficianado of all things crappy, John P. Sauer, has a swell-looking page, with some free art for you bums too cheap to pay for it.

The Onion: features concise reportage and a knack for a journalistic turn of phrase. The only problem: the Onion staff makes up all the news themselves, which shows you that they learned to emphasize style over substance in J-school, just like me. Favorite headlines "Local Secretary Lotions Obsessively" and "Zamboni Family indicted in ice-shaving scheme". Updated every Wednesday.

Joyce/Bloomsday

Works in Progress , a multimedia page dedicated to one of my favorite authors, James Joyce. Take the virtual "Ulysses" tour of Dublin or download samples of Joyce reading from Finnegan's Wake. "

Ulysses for dummies. It could take weeks, even months of nail-biting, book-slinging frustration to plow through Joyce's recalcitrant epic, Ulysses, but why bother when there's an on-line cheatsheet complete with pictures?

Noam Chomsky Archives for a veritable Shmorgaasboard of Left-Wing politics, as intellectual superhero to the oppressed, Noam, takes on College Republicans and Corporate tyrannies. New real audio files added frequently, so you can hear Noam shred such arguments as "capitalism is a just system because it improves the standard of living." Sorry that the link has been down so long, they keep moving Noam around.

The Bringing It All Back Homepage The Ultimate Bob Dylan site for Bob. As appealing to the casual fan as it is to the Dylanologist who need to know what he ate for breakfast on December 20, 1983. Hint: It was probably eggs.

The Quincy Examiner: Ever-peevish slueth/coroner Quincy was a fave of mine from childhood. Nowdays I can still relate to his heroic flunky, Sam, who must constantly put up with his crochety boss' weird requests, like "Sam, I want you to run this series of complicated and time-consuming tests on those eyeballs! Don't ask Sam, just do it! It was murder!!"

University of Minnesota Film Society: Artsy-fartsy movies cheap! Caution: the projectionist may also be the ticket-taker.

Cinema With Passion: The ultra-cool Hong Kong series at the Riverview and Oak Street. Week after week the fists fly and so does bean curd at midnight showings that are always entertaining. This is also the only concession stand in town which serves Pocky and Jerked Cuttle Fish Treats. MMMMMM...Cuttle Fish.
