City of the Mind
Slum City of the Mind (The World of Richard Harter)
The World of Richard Harter)
This is the type of eclectic product of a
slightly deranged mind that we like to find for the miscellany page. Many
cool sections, we especially recommend, practically everything on this
site. Even the unfinished pages, such as "Literature: Science Fiction are
a delight. Mr. Harter, the sites author says: This site is best viewed
with a bottle of scotch. This
site isn't hot; it isn't cool; it's, well, it's sort of tepid, a cross
between an e-zine and an intellectual rubbish heap. Below you will find
lots of links, some of them are links to past and present e-zine issues,
some are links to topical areas, and some to just there to help you find
your way around. There are also links to the most recently added pages.
Enjoy! (December 2001)

Eric's Treasure
Troves of Science for treasure troves of Chemistry, Math, Music, Physics, and
more. This site has the cohesiveness and charm of a labor of love. We think you'll be as
enchanted by this site as we are. As an example
Eric's Treasure Trove of
Astronomy is just what you think it is. MANY interesting facts about astronomy,
arranged by intelligent and useful categories. For instance, if you're interested in
Spring you'll be led to equinox, vernal equinox, season, winter, summer, autumn, and much
more. The site was created and is maintained by Eric Weisstein who describes himself as a
recent Ph.D. in planetary science, undergraduate in physics and astronomy, and closet
recreational math devotee. After visiting his site, you'll describe him as
"cool." He's also a Hoosier.
 The Free Site
A wonderful and well categorized guide to hundreds of sites on the web offering free
stuff. The range is amazing, from free games, graphics, and java applets to software
sticky notes for your desktop, an on screen text magnifier, and deodorant. There is also a
newsletter to subscribe to which brings you the latest on free services, samples, and
products on the net, and, of course, its free! If this site just whets your appetite
go
on to Free2bs

Darwin Awards The Darwin awards are
purportedly to commemorate those who made "the ultimate sacrifice" by
eliminating themselves from the species in an extraordinarily stupid way, thereby
"improving the gene pool." This has become such a popular award that there seem
to be several sets of candidates, those at the
Darwin
Awards and others such as the one at
http://www.tiac.net/users/cri/darwin.html
which lists its own set of nominees which may be apocryphal, but are fun to read.
KOOKS - Pure and Simple
If you are unaware of the American penchant for truly cool kookiness. If you've never
heard of Lawsonomy and the theory of ZIG, ZAG, and SWIRL then you owe it to
yourself to visit the
Kooks Museum which is the brainchild
of Donna J. Kossy and a wonderfully "kook" prone brain it is! Here you can find
the
Library of Questionable
Scholarship with the wonderful story of Lawsonomy and Zig,-Zag-And-Swirl and many
other wonders. The site contains a gift shop, Schizophrenic Wing, Conspiracy Corridor,
Hall of Quackery; Monuments to Kookdom

thought of in a long time, or that one that just popped into your head.

OTHER CULTURES:
Other Cultures: There are many other cultures throughout the world, some of them are
even viable. None, we believe, has ever come close to having the breadth and depth of
satirical possibilities and/or just plain silliness as American culture, although some have
aspired, the British in the 19th century, the German in the 20th, and the French all the
time. However, we offer this site to those who are interested in comparative foible
research.
The Web of Culture™
"is designed to educate and entertain you on the topic of cross-cultural
communications. Much of this site is dedicated to helping travelers with cross cultural
differences. However, there are a number of interesting areas for non-travelers as well.

The Onion This site states that it is
appropriate only for 18 year olds and above. Some of the best satire being produced
today. This is a GREAT site. The has numerous truly well written bogus news articles, laid
out in the form of newspaper pages. The writing is excellent and very funny, often biting,
often ironic, often gentle. Extended satire is one of the hardest types of writing and
these authors have it down to a fair-thee-well. One of the great things about this site is
the ecumenical nature of the satire. If you are not offended by at least one of the
articles in their current list or archive, you should check your pulse. The weak side of
the site are its cartoons, which are uneven and more amateurish -- with a tendency
toward
the sophomoric, and the occasional lapse into the use of crude language or graphics, to no
good effect. Theses are nowhere near as funny as their articles but, these lapse, account
for a lot of the material on this site which leads them to state that the site is
appropriate only for 18 year olds and above. Their articles also cover topics and
occasionally use language to which parents might not want their children exposed. If
you're a sentient adult you'll probably find this site irresistible and you'll probably
find a great satirical treatment of one our more of your pet peeves about society today,
we know we did.

This site's central repository of humor is an extensive hypertext archive of humor, broken
into such categories as Daily Life, Men & Women, Star Trek Humor, Computer Humor,

humor magazine section, a comic page, and services such as e-mailed jokes.

media. You can browse past issues of their collections, or subscribe and have
each issue automatically e-mailed. Cartoons, stories, a very fun
site.

Vincent Flanders' Web Pages That "do the
opposite of put your lips together and blow..." (censorial sic) This is a
kind of black humor site. It features examples of really laughably bad web page design,
with comments and suggestions. The site is witty and has won a number of awards. It would
be more helpful if there were some examples of good implementation of the same pages but,
since the site uses real on-line examples, this probably isn't practical. For instance,
the site is constantly talking about the horrors of lack of content and of using frames,
graphics, animations, and color to excess and badly. Without a countervailing example of
good use of these things you're liable to get --- US! They have a sister site in
preparation, for good little pages, but as anyone from John Milton to Madonna can tell
you, that's not as much fun.

TECHNOLOGY
HOME TOYS: Home Technology News In his classic
short story "There Shall Come Soft Rains" Ray Bradbury describes an automated
house that is so faithful in fulfilling its masters wishes that it continues to function
(making toast, waking the children, etc.) even after the owners of the house have been
blown away by an inconvenient little nuclear holocaust. This site doesn't promise such
doggedness or reliability, but it does offer fascinating information about the development
and implementation of home automation devices that were literally science fiction, not so
long ago. Features include such articles as: Simply Smart Home, Totally Automated ,
Building System, HomeVision, Universal Remote, Music CD Manager, What's in Our Future,
Infra=Red Automation, Home Technology Newsletter HTI News), Resources, Shareware Library,
Tips and Tricks Archive, Directory of Home Automation and Security companies, and a lot
more.
