Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: Wesley S Date: 20 Jan 04 - 11:11 AM Freda - Related to Frodo Underhill ? I like the mandolincafe.com - no BS - just mandolin talk with some very informed players. I learn a lot there. Also the 13th fret.com for guitar talk and sometimes acousticguitar.com's forum. |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: *daylia* Date: 20 Jan 04 - 01:24 PM I've found lots of excellent information about a wide variety of topics (health, science, art, history etc) at a website called About.com Caution: the value of this site is in the volumes of excellent information available there. But I do NOT recommend giving them your primary eMail address so that you can participate in the forums. I HIGHLY suspect they sell eMail addresses to spammers. I was never troubled with porn showing up on my eMail every day until a couple months after I joined an About.com forum. Now I get greeted with a dozen or so downright disgusting messages every day. AARRRGGGHHHHH When I first joined About.com, I made a typo when I submitted my eMail address. I fixed it later. Now, some of those porn sites have a little clicky you can use to (supposedly) erase your name from their mailing lists. WHen I tried that, a little bar popped up, showing both the mistake I made when I first signed into About.com, and the correction. That's how I KNOW it was About.com I can thank for being asked a dozen times a day if I want a bigger penis, or if I'd like to make out with a horse. Anyway, sorry if I've gotten off topic here, but thanks for the opportunity to vent! daylia |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: GUEST,Van Date: 20 Jan 04 - 02:24 PM I like this site for the serendipity of it. I look for musical threads but there is so much going on that the BS threads are enjoyable too. Another site I have found that is interesting is blogdex.com it is an index of other sites some serious - newspaper site - others frivilous quiz sites or stupid photos. But a pleasant way to spend some time. |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: Jeanie Date: 20 Jan 04 - 03:17 PM I've just discovered this one: "Folk Archive Resource Northeast" (based in Gateshead) here: FARNE 28th January 2004 sees the launch of the full archive - although there is already plenty available ! I'm just listening now to a continuous delight of recordings - "Where Are Ye Gannin ?" now playing on Windows Media...oooh, and now some lovely fiddle playing..."Warks Burn Waltz"... Lots of information, discussion boards....It promises to be an excellent site. Go take a look and listen... - jeanie |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: Rapparee Date: 20 Jan 04 - 05:52 PM If you really want to check out websites, check out the websites of various public libraries. Many, many, many times they have TONS of links, which can take you to other links, and those to others, ad nauseam. Remember, "the truth is out there" -- along with a LOT of BS, halftruths, outright lies, unconsidered opinions, and general fog and crap. You gotta use your head! |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: JennyO Date: 21 Jan 04 - 12:33 AM Hi Freda. When I get back on my own computer, I will send you some of my favourites. I can't access my favourites list at the moment. They include some good witchy sites, some useful info ones like Snopes, one which off the top of my head is called monologues.co.uk, which has things like Albert and the Lion, one called Ping, where I can tell straight away if mudcat is completely dead when it is down, my favourite weather websites, a lot of folk ones, including performers, and quite a few funny ones. Right now, I think I might go and enjoy the excellent thunderstorm that is breaking! Jenny |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: Gorgeous Gary Date: 24 Jan 04 - 11:11 PM I have a sprawling list of bookmarks. Filkers' pages, folkies' pages, friends' pages, travel sites, SF/fantasy sites, and so on. But there are only a handful I visit daily: Narbonic -- web comic about a mad scientist and her assistants: a computer geek, a superintelligent gerbil, and a trigger-happy law student. Since my fiancee is a microbiologist, this strip has quite a bit of personal appeal (and is a running joke between us Sluggy Freelance -- another amusing webcomic. I especially like the pets, a bouncy ferret easily distracted by shiny objects and a homicidal telemarketer-hating rabbit. User Friendly -- Computer humor. Kevin and Kell -- By Bill Holbrook of "On The Fastrack" fame. Debbie's Blatherings -- The only of my friends' on-line journals I read every day. There are good filk links to be found through Debbie's various web sites. -- Gary |

Subject: RE: BS: what other websites do you go to? From: JohnInKansas Date: 27 Jan 04 - 08:39 AM A plaintext list of the sites mentioned here so far runs to about 8 pages, with a little more than one line per site since several URLs wrap to a couple of lines. Word's "wordcount" indicates 259 sites in the list. (I haven't sorted to look for duplicates yet, but there don't appear to be many.) Out of curiosity, I did a dump of my favorites, clipped them down to 1 per line, and got a 45 page list – about 720 sites. The amazing thing is that I recognize nearly all of them quite easily, and delude myself that I really do intend to use the majority of them – "sometime soon." The only site, other than mudcat, that I visit on a regular basis (at least a couple of times per week) is: http://www.artrenewal.org/ : ARC International - The Art Renewal Center This is a very large art collection, and it is expanding fairly rapidly, so I check their home page regularly to see if they've added any new naked ladies. The collection is strictly limited to artists of the "realist" schools, but currently includes 26,824 images by 2,645 artists (their count). No, I haven't counted them to check their tally; but I have looked at all of their posted thumbnails and about 800 of their full view images. Far too many portraits and sailing ships, but lots of good images. The downloadable images are of excellent quality (most would print cleanly at 13 x 19 inch, my printers limit) and selected ones are available as "high res" images that should go to billboard size with no problems. [The "typical" art site images at other sites, including some "national museum" sites, pixilate noticeably (to my eye) at 5 x 7 inch, if you can get that out of them.] Anyone looking for work by an artist who's name they know, might want to go directly to the ARC index at http://www.artrenewal.org/asp/database/contents.asp : ARC Museum Contents (Page 1 of 18) For artists ARC hasn't collected (yet) I frequently, on an irregular basis, go to: http://artcyclopedia.com/index.html : Artcyclopedia The Guide to Fine Art on the Internet Artcyclopedia is a search engine that indexes online art collections. Since the standard engines generally skip over the .org and .edu, and their crawlers can't search databases (most online collections use database formats), this is a very useful "special purpose search engine" for anyone interested in "legit" art. I have recently discovered an interesting group of sites that may be generically described as "links to specialized search engines." There are several dozen such "list" sites, and there's some hope of finding a good one that's worth passing on, but thus far the ones I've been able to survey are too "special interest" in areas I'm not very interested in. Without further comment, the export of my favorites shows I've been to the following sites within fairly recent times, (but not necessarily recently enough to guarantee they all work).
