Yeah, you're doomed now. (Let
me know if these fail to doom you.)
People who will doom you.
- Ron
Henry, rec.music.rem's
FAQ maintainer and all around swell guy, has a web page which
teases you with promises of Indian food recipes for suburban
housewives but instead gives you a smorgasbord of literary links.
He's got himself a forum for non-mainstream poetry there called
Aught
which is interesting and features a poem of mine. Ron was in
flim
1/3, flim
1/5, flim
2/1, flim
3/1, and flim
3/2 (uh, and flim
1/4 and flim
1/6 as well).
- Annemarie Sammartino
is just about the coolest person in the world but she doesn't
have a web page. She was in flim
1/2 and flim
3/1.
- Charlotte Wells
makes the world a better place and should be encouraged. Certainly
flim
mentions her often enough, especially in the
Ballad of Charlotte Wells and Chris Piuma. Her once small
but proud web page is now gone, since it's been a whole year
since she graduated college to become my roommate -- a challenge
for any professional. She's contributed to flim
1/3, flim
1/5, flim
2/2, and flim
3/1.
- Joshua
Hall-Bachner is another nifty person I met through rec.music.rem. His web page is
now gone, too. I don't know why my friends can't hold on to their
web pages. He contributed to flim
1/6, flim
2/1, and flim
3/2.
- Laura
Del Col is a recent addition to the flim
family, contributing to flim
3/2. Her own web page has some interesting tidbits about
Victorian daily life and New Zealand schooling techniques. She's
also helped me keep these pages relatively error free.
- Matt
Carlin was the first Matt to give me web space, and Matt Papas
was the second Matt to give me web space. The first Matt has
some puzzles I wrote for him in The Matt Carlin Mirror.
- Ron Silliman is alive and writing
wonderful poetry. The link on his name goes to U. Buffalo's Electronic
Poetry Center, which has a lot of interesting material. Silliman
has a long poem in progress called The Alphabet; Grist
has an excerpt from section U, Under, which
is not yet published, and Non, which is. An excerpt from You is part of Potepoetzine.
- Stacy Doris is another one of those
living poets. There's a selection from her book Kildare
at the site I've linked her name to, but I warn you -- it has
a really terrible background pattern, so maybe you shouldn't
auto-load images this time. She has a newer book out called Mop
Factory Incident which is very charming.
- The
Residents are a strange, obscure, occasionally brilliant
band. This is an extremely good web page devoted to them.
- Adam Cadre is a damn
nifty person. Explore his page thoroughly; you won't be disappointed.
Other Internet Resources that will doom you.
- Some ezines and ezinelikethings: John Labovitz's e-zine list; Ron Henry's
Aught
(yeah, I mentioned it above but it's good, and I'm in both issues);
Blair,
for the giddy queer youth in you; The House of Erotic Massage, which is
a collection of rants about things that have nothing to do with
erotic massage; The
Onion, the damn funniest thing out there; Justin's Links from the Underground,
a long-standing web project that could serve as a model to us
all; the deservedly infamous Loser Living Upstairs.
- Apple
computers have always been used to make this web page, and now
we're making on a beautiful Bondi-blue-and-ice-white iMac named Bethesda. There are some great
iMac sites out there: noBeige.com,
theiMac.com,
and iMac2day.com,
to name three.
- The
Internet Oracle, a font of guidance, is here to answer
your questions for a very reasonable price. My answers: 783-04, 809-03, 809-10, 813-02. My questions: 747-01 (the first question I ever asked!),
766-04, 810-01.
- Yahoo
has had a Searching for Pookie
link for a long time. The blurb next to it says "A strange,
obscure, New York-based band." One day I checked it, and
someone had changed "New York-based" to "dark".
This is very funny but also very disturbing...
- Interactive
Fiction (you know, like Zork, only a bit higher class)
is a really nifty thing, and it's having a bit of a renaissance.
Some post-Infocom games I recommend are Curses!, Lost New York,
Undo, and I-0, which are all available from the Interactive Fiction
Archive at ftp.gmd.de. Also check
out Eileen Mullin's zine XYZZYnews and another zine called SPAG
- Some great small presses: Sun and Moon Press is one of the larger
small presses, and all of their books are interesting and well-designed;
Meow
Press, hand produces wonderful books, and I've been a
proud subscriber to them.
- The
University of California, San Diego has a list of musicians
on the web, and they include me. I'm so proud. I'm right up there
with John Cage and Laurie Anderson, two of my absolute favorites.
Anyway, don't go just to see my name, go check out the other
cool composers I'm listed with.
- Miscellany: oo;
Vegetarian
Pages; The Useless Pages; OLGA, The OnLine Guitar Archive; DejaNews; The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest; Tomatotropic Organization in the Soprano,
by Georges Perec; Poe, E. Near a Raven; How to Build a Language, an overview of artificial
languages; All you wanted to know about deafness; Not
my house; Don't
overlook me.
