Nikola Tesla was one of the greatest men to ever grace the earth, a genius on the level of DaVinci or Einstein..eh screw that...to call him a man is an insult to Tesla, and an undeserved compliment to mankind. Tesla was a demigod...nah screw that too, he was a full-blown god. The tales of Zeus were premonitions. This site has a ton of information about Tesla and his many suppressed inventions, overlooked innovations, and technologies he outlined that we're still trying to master today.

Bruce Sterling is currently my favorite sci-fi author, followed closely by Gibson and Asimov. This is an online cache of Sterling's collected short stories and Wired articles.

I goddamn love Flamenco. In case you dont know, Flamenco is that amazingly soulful, gritty, moving Spanish guitar, song, and dance. Born of Arabian, Indian, and Spanish Gypsy influences, it is really one of the most unique musical styles/lifestyles in the world. Hit up these two sites for info about Flamenco artists, history, and lifestyle.....¡Óle!

"665, conceptually, is one of the more simple ideas for a website it's possible to have. Here's the explanation: Its creator, JSP, decided to create a list of six hundred and sixty-five different and (quite possibly) interesting things, ideally in a daily format (but we all know how these things turn out). Sometimes it will be personal stuff, sometimes photos (both original and found), sometimes drawings, sometimes essays, sometimes a link or whatever. Never really know."

I've wasted away hours and hours at this site.

Hacker games and challenges....computers its legal to break into!

A hysterical satire of black and white relations, full of great cliches and mockeries of the white quest for hip tokenism, and stereotypes of black militancy.

A useful resource of web design tutorials and downloadable content.

This is where I get most of my parts for stuff I build

xrefer is a necessity for any serious research project. Accesses hundreds of libraries, and has an 'xreferences' feature that actually graphs your project in an overlapping chart, sort of like a Ven diagram.
