My
Hotlist
A Hotlist
So, I added a hotlist page. "My Hotlist" I wrote on it, in classic irritating internet form, as if it were "My Yahoo" or "My Computer" or God knows what other computer-lurking horror. In this case, at least, it actually is mine. "My Hotlist" is not your hotlist.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy the links.
Cosma's Home Page
One of the few good personal home pages I've seen. Depending on how broadly
you define home page, it may be the only good home page I've ever seen.
It's kind of sprawling, and doesn't have a terribly clear purpose, but it's
hard to go wrong just browsing around it.

Note that Mr. Shalizi also has the honor of publishing the
Cthulhu
Hymnal.
Moments
If you browse the web constantly enough to be reading my hotlist, you've
probably already seen this. If you haven't, enjoy it: web sites don't often get
this good.
www.moments.org
I didn't remember rembember that I'd unequivocally praised this page. It is
true, I quite like it, and in no way dislike it, but I can imagine others
reacting differently. If you dislike it, I can accept none of the blame.
Suck
Suck sold out months (years?) ago. It's still riotously funny more often than
not. And there are back issues.
www.suck.com
Note also that Suck was co-founded by the obscenely prolific
Carl Steadman.
Tiger Mapping Service
On a completely different note: TIGER is a little tool offered by the US
Census. It generates maps. Maps with neat statistics. It's cool. I like it.
tiger.census.gov
Athena
There are books on-line. You are aware of this. I was also aware of this. I
even knew where to find some of them. Athena knows where to find almost all of
them. This makes Athena good. Book after book after book. All arranged
in one simple directory, in alphabetical order by author.

The St. John's Collection
In order: The St. John's College Home Page, The Directory of Student Home
Pages, Derek Alexander's Page, Patrick Donahue's Page, Ben Speakmon's Page.
These pages, such as they are, form the core set of pages one should look at at
St. John's.

There are some other things to see at St. John's, but you can get to them from
these.
Lambda
This is here largely for my use, as I haven't actually looked at it yet. It's an
introduction to lambda calculus and a simple interpreter.

A Standard for Site Organization
A particularly good
Stating the Obvious.
It's exactly what it says: a good standard directory structure for web sites to
use.

die earth scum
When confronted with this page, I got out of my earlier comment on the lack of
good home pages by claiming that this is not a home page but a random work of
art. In any case, it's a good whatever it is.
www.oberlin.edu/~cjetton/
It also has a fetish page
that is not to be missed.
glassdog.net
It's a collection of all those good collaborative sites. I don't have links to
any of them, which is something of an oversight, so here's a link to a better
list than I could have done anyway.
www.glassdog.net
Of course, it is related to the classic
glassdog.com.
BonusMail
They give you stuff to read their advertising. Yes, it's sleazy. Yes, it's not
remotely like what I'm sure we all hoped the web would become. All the same,
it's rather appealing, as an extreme extension of the febbie summer
free-jelly-bellies thing. So without further ado, let me present: the first
image ever on my web site. Oh, they've changed their name to MyPoints (or
merged with MyPoints, or something)... these aren't anything to do with my own
style of points, of course, but I am offering 150 points to anyone who joins,
just because I like the ambiguity of it.
C Library Reference
It's a reference guide to ANSI C. If it's as complete as it appears to be, it
could be extroardinarily useful. Haven't really checked it out much yet, but am
marking just in case.

Semantic Rhyming Dictionary
This is possibly the coolest toy I've ever seen on the web. Given two words, it
finds rhymes for the first that match as closely as possible the meaning of the
second.
