Links are what makes the web go 'round, so here are a few of my favorites:
placed up high, so i don't have to scroll down
- The Center for Effective Discipline is an anti-corporal punishment sight, which I help maintain.
- The terrifying Emma Blackwood.
- Zyndsay! a truly inspired web site from good friends who no longer live a few blocks away.
- Tavern Wench - the weblog of a Cincinnati bartender.
- Linky is dead. Long live the new, unnamed blog!
- apophenia is Danah Boyd’s weblog full of interesting thoughts about online communities (and more).
- David Habib’s Weblog, by one of AOL’s senior technical directors. Some very interesting thoughts on management in a technology context.
other paths
- Over the Rhine is a great band from Cincinnati. Their page resurfaced sometime in 2000, and has been hosting interesting facts and beautiful MP3 samples every month since.
- robotminion.com is Emily's web site.
- Linda Vista, SD is the web site for my current neighborhood.
- HarrisonWest.org is the web site for my old neighborhood.
- University of San Diego is where I am currently attending for my MBA.
- Earlham College is where I went as an Undergraduate. I studied Computer Science, a department that rarely updates its web page.
- DreamHost is where my web site is currently hosted. Very cheap with friendly support staff but little community. If you already know what you're doing, or don't need a great online community, they are an excellent bang for the buck.
- FutureQuest Virtual Hosting is the hosting company I used originally. Very good support and community, but more expensive than DreamHost. If you're new and want a hand, I'd highly recommend them.
- Slashdot, the ever famous "News for Nerds, Stuff that matters." Links to the latest news, as chosen by a handful of geeks.
- The Register "Biting the hand that feeds IT." A great British news site, concentrates on IT and whatever else catches their fancy.
code
- ActiveState is a company that makes the nice Windows port of perl (and Tcl, and Python) that I use for pleasure and business.
- Dive Into Accessibility - 30 days to a more accessible web site. Read it. Learn it. Obey it. (someday, i will) Written by Mark Pilgrim, whose weblog dive into mark was well worth repeated visits before he retired it.
- PHP.net is the home of PHP. Online manual, community and links.
- www.sackeri.org was the homepage of a friend of mine from long back. It looks like it's owned by something else now, but I keep it here in case he resurfaces.
- The Web Standards Project has a lot of good stuff, which I keep for inspiration. Ardenstone.com probably doesn't comply, yet.
- W3C HTML Validation Service W3C is the World Wide Web Consortium. They write the standards for things like HTML, and this a way you can see if your site matches the standards.
- W3C CSS Validation Service Run your web pages against this to make sure your CSS is compliant!
- W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is a very handy place to brush up on CSS, SQL and various other web publishing skills.
- XHTML 1.0: Marking up a new dawn, Getting familiar -- and getting started -- with the new standard by Molly Holzschlag. Excellent resource for a beginning foray into XHTML.
