For me the web currently has five purposes: 1. Work 2. News 3. Buying stuff 4. Anime & Fun Formerly a newspaper reporter and assistant editor, I went into the internet biz because it was a natural marriage of my techno-junkie tendencies and work. After going around the internet for a couple of years, I discovered the anime fan sites. Then I discovered fansubs. Then my love for anime (which was in hibernation for a few years) exploded. I've been working on anime one way or another on the internet for the past 2 years. Now I'm usually too busy to do anything that's not related to work... I'm hoping to change that, though Here are my most used links and explanations for my web paths: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ANIME COLONY (of course): This is the baby I spend 60+ hours a week on.
2. WEBMONKEY: Wired Magazine's tips and guides to webpage making. Really
easy-to-read and educational.
3. SCIFI FONTS: Fonts are a powerful thing to have -- design-wise or
anything else. This is just one of my many Font sites I stop by.
4. COLOR PICKER: You need to know the code of the color to put up
colors. Of course NO ONE memorizes them (except probably someone from the
movie "Rain Man"). I like seeing them on screen and getting the
code here.
5. STOCK IMAGES: Need a good anonymous image to work with on your
designs? A good place to find it is here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. 1010 WINS: New York City's #1 news radio station. I check it on the
web since I don't listen to radio anymore.
2. THE OBSCURE STORE & READING ROOM: This place collects all the WEIRDEST TRUE news around the world everyday. We're not talking tabloids -- but hard news from established newspapers. Headlines are like: "'Teen' basketball player is actually 20-year-old fugitive" or
"Female thief demands sex from unwilling man, 82"
3. MY YAHOO PAGE - I personalize my yahoo page and get news that I'm
interested in and horoscope and movie times too!
4. THE STRAIGHT DOPE. Not really a news page but I have a lot of fun
visiting. They answer all the questions you always wondered about but never
got a chance to ask. Like why pigeons bob their heads when they walk or can
HIV be transmitted through mosquitoes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. DVD EXPRESS - I think I must actually keep these guys in business.
I'm a DVD junkie.
2. URBANFETCH - In NYC, you buy stuff and they deliver it to you within
an hour for free. Cheap and good stuff too!
3. PETS.COM - major animal nut also. I have 3 cats at my apartment
(Teardrop, Ashlin, and Calliope) and I make sure I spoil them properly.
4. AMAZON.COM - where I stop when I can't get the above stuff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. ANIME TURNPIKE - I probably stop by here like 5 to 20 times a day.
2. ANIME COLONY - I know, I know, it's my work -- but I actually like
stopping by and reading the message boards and seeing how the deathmatch is
going.
3. UMJAMS ANIME NEWS - my favorite anime news stop.
4. BASEMENT ARCADE - I used to dream of owning REAL ARCADE GAMES in my
apartment. My apartment's too small, so now I have my parents harrassing me
about leaving my games there. A lot of good ones are cheaper than a
Playstation 2!
5. ANIME NEWS NETWORK - this site used to be pretty stale on the news
side, but with the new editors, it's really starting to take off.
6. ANIME NEWS SERVICE - this guy puts up like every press release given
(except for ANIME COLONY press releases for some reason - boo!), plus you
get juicy rumors every-now-and-then.
7. THE END OF PLEASE SAVE MY EARTH - my favorite anime series. You can
come here to find out the complete story that the OVA doesn't provide.
Well there're more, but these are the main ones! Ja,
