Hello, Harold Lloyd, a page devoted to the slapstick genius. Complete with images and some interviews and news aricles from entertainment magazines of the 1920s.
Ultraman: Cumbersome to load, but full of info about the various Japanese TV series that started the Sentai genre, and a good starting place for exploring Sentai on the net. Eiji Tsurubaya's original Ultraman made his first appearance 30 years ago this month, on July 17, 1966. I'd advise disabling the image loader for this one, unless you're really curious about the subject matter.
Harappa: The web page for the joint Pakistani American Harappa Archeological Research Project. Stunning images. Nice layout. Fascinating content. Reasonable file sizes. This is one of those sites that seems to be doing everything right.
Fontnet Home Page: See the Neville Brody entry on the lastpage for details on these this link and the next. If anyone knows of a good web page about Mr. Brody, drop me a line.
The Site: The official home page for 4AD records. Kind of heavy on the design side, but it's got plenty of Vaugn Oliver/V23 presence.
A 4AD database, US branch. Chillingly complete, down to the texts for samples from Colourbox songs. Big and bulky, but it's all information, and it's all cleanly acheived. A good site to load the graphics on if you can multitask for four or five minutes while you wait.
Art/Lit:
William Blake: A personal home page about Blake, with text and graphics. Severely RAM intensive, with a large image backdrop for the main screen. Looks pretty, though.
William Blake multimedia project. Mostly just a demo for a work-in-progress.
Computers:
Aminet Archive, St. Louis site. The essential source for Amiga computer software and data.
Also, the following newsgroups are worth checking out:
alt.folklore.urban - The Urban Folklore Newsgroup. A good example of how growing pains can mess up the net. There are so many entries on this group, my server only holds on to about 4 days worth. And some of the flame wars...I'm sorry, some of the debates, have been going on for months. Or years. Still, it's worth the energy to sometimes go wading through all the litter in order to find out what's cooking in UL-land.
alt.movies.silent - Used daily boy only a handful of people, this is a great source for technical and biographical information about the silent era.
alt.tv.sentai - A newsgroup for Ultraman and his kin? Why not? Not as prone to the flame wars found on alt.movies.monster and similar groups.
