What is there to say? It's /.

Better than /. except when your attention span is on the 5 minute scale.

My friend Zach is hamster drawer extraordinaire. Updated weekdays, as long as he's not in Hawaii.

Local cartoonists, international fame, lots of gaming references. Updated MWF.

Who's your deity? Updated every day.

Don't ask me why I stick with PvP to the dismay of my co-workers. It's sort of my UserFriendly. Updated every day.

So cute! So emo! I can't help it, I just love the drawing style and color choices. Not to mention the fact that for a month straight, the comics seemed to be pulled directly out of my life.

Perhaps the most genius use of Flash currently on the Internet. And I hate Flash. Humor that I can't get enough of and don't cringe to show my mother.

Gimme some of this... gimme some of this... Because lemme tell you... a One that is not cold, is scarcely a One at all.

Random and entertaining shorts, many written by or starring my friend Ty.

Containing a brilliant Apple switch parody and a comedy series shot with footage from Halo.

Short films, Matrix themed and anime styled. More were released as shorts in the theaters and on a DVD, but four are available for download.

A repository of funny. Tokyo Breakfast and Yatta! are highlights.

Craig... magick, technology, and (counter)culture. Perhaps the person at work that I have the most secretly in common with.

Kelly the Chaotic keeps me on my toes. A geek girl that I get along with and yet at the same time perhaps the only person in the world I feel comfortable arguing with? The contradictions abound.

Ty writes in German. Sometimes. He earns respect as the only person that I can discuss linguistics, computers, and Uzbekistan coherently with in the same conversation.

Sporadic and scathing John. Movie reviews, random bits of cynical insight, and of course, harangues.

He draws a comic and keeps an updated journal? WTF. Anime, video games, Mariners, Seattle, and all other manner of thingies.

Brian of the ever-fascinating friends list. Not to mention the beer and the IRC and the making-the-end-of-weeks-worthwhile.

Ex-boyfriend and Japan-picture-taker extraordinaire. Updates infrequently, but always with pictures.

Galvin Chow, super JET. He appears to be me, born into an Asian male's body. And a much better writer.

Give up the hatred, he hasn't been Wesley Crusher for over a decade. Smart, funny, cute, complete and utter geek? You know I'd date him.

Perhaps the angriest man on the planet. Stop being a pussy: beat your kid!

The fascinating and eloquent blog of the most famous pro domme in Seattle.

Jim Breen of Monash University is the grandfather and God of Japanese Internet resources. I use the dictionary and kanji lookup system, but there's plenty of other information.

Jeffery's Japanese <-> English Dictionary server was what I used to use before it got slow. It still calls up different results than WWWJDIC occasionally, so I use them in tandem.

We are gland you could come! I hate my self and I want to die! Bourbon pickle lemon milk! May Japan never change, that I may laugh at them forever and ever, amen.

The classic (and completely and totally on-the-spot) essay mocking people wanting to study Japanese.

Love it or hate it, until you've been on the buses in Japan or Boulder, CO, you don't have a clue how nice we've got it.

It doesn't always rain here. Like now. It's not raining now.

The best radio station in the world. All manner of electronica, ranging from dance to industrial to gothic, and the only station in Seattle to never ever be playing talk at 9 am. Hooray for Nathan Hale High School!

Listings by both alphabet and category. Generally clean design and very pretty presentation of fonts.

Uggin site, but offers alphabet and category listings, as well as a by-author listing. Allows you to input text and see it in the font, a new development that's cropping up on more and more font sites lately.

Not the most intuitive site ever (hint, on the orange main page, don't click on PC fonts... click on "Enter" instead), but offers an extensive selection of fonts. Alphabetic listing only.

There are many good things on php.net, but the manual is by far the most useful. Particularly considering that they've implemented a forum-style commenting system that allows people to ask questions and offer code snippets.

Very similar manual for my favorite database. I loves me the open sourceness.

News, FAQs, tutorials, and most of all, hopping forums. Perhaps every question I have ever had about my Axim and the Pocket PC OS has been answered somewhere in here.

Less lively than Aximsite, but a good community. Fewer stupid people.

Without AvantGo, I wouldn't know what the hell was going on in the world. Although, given the state of the world, perhaps I'd be happier without news.

Sporadic news relating to Pocket PCs and Japan. If Andrew ever gets around to updating the FAQ, it'll include information that took blood, sweat, tears, and lots of hard resets on my own poor behalf.

Hands down my favorite source of desktop wallpaper.

The cutest Pocket PC wallpaper around. I don't know when I started liking cute stuff, but thankfully, the infection so far has been limited to stuff for Sayuri.

Backgrounds, assorted and many. Many bad. But the good are worth it.

I don't know how I keep this one straight from its counterpart above... but they don't overlap all that much, so between the two, many a theme are to be had.

What I use to skin Sayuri's top bar. There's a couple neat applets available for it, and the system for adding functionality with small gestures is pretty sweet.

Icbar can do many things. I just use it to skin Sayuri's bottom bar because GigaBar is doing the rest.

The definitiveness. Quote quality has suffered since they started letting anyone up them, but IMDB is still the destination of choice to figure what the hell that ohsofamiliar actor has been in before.

Not as nearly prolific as he once was, the Self-Made Critic still writes my favorite movie reviews. Probably because he's nearly as much of a geek as I am.

The only worthwhile locator for movie times that I've yet to find.

Betcha didn't know you could just throw "washington" on the end there and search UW, huh.

Dead people, hookers, and all many of other things on the darker side of life. I think I may be the only girl I've ever met that doesn't puke at the sight of Rotten, and one of the few out of my friends who rarely flinches.

Many a thing has changed for "the Chicks Suck guy" over the years (for what originally drew me to the site, look for an "old site" link), but he's still a good source of content to read on rainy days.

The fantastic life and suicide thereof. Perhaps the only worthwhile online-only novel I've ever found worthwhile.

Gluing flies to balsa wood to learn life's lessons since 1996.

I worked for these people through at least three name changes. How we continually managed to unearth both the stupidest geeks and the best people in the world through the same hiring process, I will never understand. They employed me for five years and I adore them.

Once upon a time I was an officer (I may still be listed as one, even). I designed their site (unless they've changed it... yellowy orange on black, that's me). I go to showings (sometimes).

What's the weather in Seattle like RIGHT NOW?!? Let's see! And I go to school here.

These clowns are giving me a Master's degree. No one will ever know how assbananas my department is save for those insane of us who actually stick it through the program.

The host department for my tiny speck of a program stuck in a basement closet. Bonus points for being a real Tech Comm department rather than some bastardized offshoot of an English department.

Somehow, I managed to get a BS in Chemistry from here. How did I pull it off? Sheer brute stubbornness.

The people that made me love Japanese are located somewhere in the pile of less-pooey-than-other-schools-poo that is the UW's Asian Languages and Literature department.
