Friends' websites

News

  • MSNBC - Gotta pimp the company's news site, right?

Entertainment, Interesting, or just Fun

  • MySpace - A link directly to my MySpace page, but feel free to check out the other billions of peoples' profiles there too.
  • YouTube - Do I really need to explain this site?
  • Facebook - I have a profile here, but to be honest, I enjoy MySpace a lot more. Facebook has too much crap on it now with all those damn games and such.
  • Project Rungay - The BEST site that dishes on the awesome show Project Runway and everything associated with it. HILARIOUS.
  • Kenneth in the 212 - A blog that I stumbled upon long ago in my closeted days. Very down to earth gay guy out here in NYC who posts about many of the stories out there and frequently posts pics of ridiculously good-looking guys
  • Towleroad - Another gay-themed blogger who links and discusses to most of the news going-on out there and the gay aspect of them
  • Meetup.com - If you're curious about the different social organizations/clubs in your area, check out this site. You'll find a club for nearly EVERYTHING out there. Recommended by my friend Susan!
  • AfterElton.com - Home of the Best.Gay.Week.Ever.... frequently funny but sometimes too militant about gay issues. Relax dude.
  • NotComing.com - I've linked this page directly to the Twin Peaks section which details both seasons of the show and Fire Walk With Me. There's a lot of other interesting writing about movies and TV throughout the rest of the site too, but if you love Twin Peaks, check this out!
  • JoBlo - A definitive source to download nearly any movie trailer. Impressive... And he has the scoop on everything Hollywood. You could browse this site for hours if you had the time.

  • Homestar Runner.com - Pure fun in animation form. Strong Bad and Homestar Runner are the best. There's LOTS to look at here.
  • RealityNewsOnline - This is THE place to read about pretty much any reality show. Lots of summary articles, opinions, etc. Definitely the place to get great reading on Survivor and the Amazing Race!
  • EFF.org - The Electronic Frontier Foundation website, which I recently discovered. It's an organization that goes out of its way to fight for and protect individual freedoms in the electronic world. Very cool.
  • Wikipedia.org - An intriguing way to have an online encyclopedia: let the public edit and contribute the topics. The community has currently over 300,000 articles.
  • HowStuffWorks.com - This site will tell you how anything works: I learned already how hangovers work and how blu-ray DVD technology works, and there's tons more than that in every kind of subject. Very fun to read like Wikipedia.org if you're ever just wanting to surf something interesting.
