30 secs: I was a member of CX, albeit one without a cam, so mostly a voyeur. I'm still in touch with a girl I met on there. Did you ever get your bare butt caught on cam during Globalgasm? These days Halcyon is doing a more G-rated version called HugNation, but channelling his more sensual energies into a Fleshbot-like blog called Fluffersmut as Rev. Johnny Righteous.
And now, more productivity-killers.
* robot filter: Amusing little thing with an occasional emphasis on robots. Not like the advancements going on the technology, just goofy robot items.
* Robotics @ BigBlog: THIS is where you go to get actual robotics technology news. Just to be clear.
* glowlab: Probably the one place to find items all having to do with the still fringey but legitimate topic of psychogeography, including whatever's left of the flashmob craze and issues of graffiti, urban renewal and street theater.
* The Ultimate Insult: Fairly random, but tending on the weirder side of the net. Often includes links to online flash games.
* Cliff Pickover's Reality Carnival: Cliff Pickover is a very smart, very odd duck who writes books about how UFOs work and the physics of other dimensions, putting out something like two dozen of the fuckers a year. He seeks out the more idiosynchratic items on the web, sometimes just on a lark, usually with the help of Google. He also seems to especially enjoy young women, but hey, who doesn't?
* Posthuman Blues: Blog of author Mac Tonnies, who seems to be hot on proving that Mars was once inhabited. Look out, Richard Dawkins.
* Red Ferret Journal: British blog of perhaps the world's biggest gadget and general tech fetishist. You will feel very poor upon reading this wishlist. Right now I'm loving the jet-powered outhouse. You'd need to eat a lot of burritos to power that motherfuck.
* Hellblazer: No relation to John Constantine, this dude, I believe, is an official Subgenius. If nothing else, he provide a lovingly leftist look at the bullshit our opposite numbers are trying to pull.
* Incoming Signals: The more active arm of a site devoted to its manager's former radio show glory. Entries are often themed; I liked the one from the day after Election Day:
"• Kerry has conceded.
"• First Avenue has closed.
"• And giant squid are taking over the world.
"• That pretty much sums up our world right now."
As I'm unsure of this computer's continued memory viability, I'll leave it at that for tonight. I've got veritable scads of these damn things left to unleash upon your fragile minds. Fear my blog fu!
