01/02:	A collection of animated shorts by cartoonist Nina Paley. I've enjoyed Paley's work for years. Fetch is a humorous piece which plays with visual perspective. Other shorts are politically-oriented, especially since Paley is concerned about population growth and the ecology.
01/19:	A fascinating page of overhead photos of land before and after being struck by the Christmas Indian Ocean tsunami.
01/19:	Apple Tip of the Week page.
01/19:	Six Apart to buy LiveJournal. This sort of thing is why I don't rely on LiveJournal or Blogger or other commercial systems to power my journal. Well, this plus I'm a big geek.
02/20:	Schneier on Security, a fascinating weblog on computer and other security issues.
02/20:	A guide to e-mail composition etiquette. The adminishment against "top-posting" is especially well-taken. (I occasionally top-post, but usually for a particular reason.)
02/24:	What fun it is to ridicule romance novel covers.
02/27:	The Annotated Lord Peter Wimsey.
03/06:	Why "crunch mode" doesn't work as a management approach.
03/27:	Peter David on Terri Schiavo.
03/27:	John Scalzi on Terri Schiavo.
03/27:	Apparently terrorism wasn't enough to pull President Bush in from a vacation, but the Terri Schiavo bill in Congress was.
04/14:	Drawn is an illustration, art and cartooning blog.
04/14:	Theresa Nielsen Hayden wrote a great article about the slush pile and editors' rejections. This article is a year old; I'm a little behind the times here.
04/14:	Laura K. Krishna is a Plagiarist. A college student does something stupid and gets her name plastered all over the Internet for it. (The author later changed his article to fictionalize her last name.) Of course, the whole thing might all be a hoax. It's the Web - who can tell?
04/17:	ZNR Records specializes in progressive rock CDs. They have some nifty tech backing their on-line store, making it fun to browse.
04/17:	Kinesis is another progressive rock store, not as spiffily programmed as ZNR, but with a similarly good selection.
05/02:	My friend Jim Rittenhouse has been writing a detailed account of his childhood. It's interesting reading. I gather there's a lot here that even he didn't know until recently.
05/15:	Minor League Baseball is MLB's official site for the minor leagues. It's quite good: Game boxscores, player stats, and team and organization news.
06/19:	John Scalzi's rundown of meeting people at WisCon, including a photo of yours truly.
06/19:	Phil and Kaja Foglio have taken their terrific comic book Girl Genius online. It's really great. Go read it.
06/23:	GrimJack is the official web site for John Ostrander and Tim Truman's excellent comic book series.
06/23:	Matt Howarth is the creator of inventive-but-twisted comic books like Those Annoying Post Bros and Keif Llama.
06/23:	BlogSlot is a weblog about copyediting by Bill Walsh (not to be confused with the other Bill Walsh).
06/26:	A very cool Google Maps widget for Dashboard for Mac OS X Tiger.
07/15:	An article on baseball Hall-of-Famer and broadcaster Joe Morgan. Morgan drives performance analysts like myself crazy because he was such a great player, seemingly understanding what was most important in winning games in baseball, but his broadcast career is exactly the opposite.
08/07:	The Unofficial Apple Weblog, as you'd expect, is a collection of Apple-related stuff.
08/07:	Dave Barry has a Weblog!
08/07:	365 Tomorrows features a short science fiction story every day.
08/11:	Entertaining and accurate rebuttal of Cory Doctorow's odd rant on Mac OS X on Intel chips.
08/11:	Fascinating critique of the Space Shuttle program. It's been clear since at least the first Bush administration that the US manned space program has been stuck in idle and doing little more than wasting money. The Shuttle program needs to be ended.
08/11:	Profile of SF fan and journaller Mary Anne Mohanraj. She's one of the few people with an older on-line journal than mine.
09/06:	Molly Ivins on the situation in New Orleans.
09/14:	NPR Weekend Edition Sunday Puzzle is available on the Web.
09/14:	MasterCard is the proud new owner of most of New England. Really. Sorta. Okay, it's a gag.
09/14:	Accuracy in reporting.
09/20:	FEMA's on-line claims form requires Internet Explorer's non-compliant JavaScriptimplementation. Way to go, FEMA.
09/20:	Political cartoonist Mark Fiore suggests a politically-relevant alternative to Mardi Gras next year.
09/25:	Ceej writes a couple of entries about lame blog essays, including the strident characterization of "freedom (computer) languages", and a silly analysis of software modularity.
09/25:	KurzweilAI.net is a site about cutting-edge and future technology, spearheaded by inventor Ray Kurzweil.
10/02:	The classic microgames museum contains covers to dozens of microgames from several publishers.
10/02:	Detailed Metagaming product checklist, and a shorter Metagaming product checklist. Plus the O.G.R.E. ludography at Steve Jackson Games.
10/02:	There are several sites devoted specifically to The Fantasy Trip: The Fantasy Trip, Duneroller Publishing's TFT site, Brett Slocumb's TFT page, and even a TFT Webring.
10/02:	Play-by-E-mail page for some Metagaming microgames.
10/09:	Sadness: Carla Speed McNeil will end regular publication of her comic book Finder in favor of annual paperback collections. Apparently I was one of the few who were still buying the comic book format.
10/09:	A list of resources for out-of-print strategy games, courtesy Steve Jackson Games.
12/12:	The Common Census Map Project is a pretty nifty graphical cultural map. The Common Census Sports Map Project is maybe even cooler, especially the blotches of Chicago Cubs fans in New Mexico.
12/30:	The Occupation of Latveria - a study in trust, I guess.
12/30:	The only debate on Intelligent Design that is worthy of its subject - hilarious! And right on!

12/31:	Tips for protecting your privacy as a consumer, and some related comments at Bruce Schneier's blog.
