Cool Websites We Have Found...

[SubBass49]

So I figure there's lots of cool websites that we all know about that we wouldn't normally think to find (plus I'm bored) So I figured I'd start a thread to list cool sites.

Here's my list:

http://www.fark.com/ (a weird-news site with a sense of humor)

http://www.retrojunk.com (cartoon theme songs & other stuff)

http://www.myheritage.com/FP/Company...1&u=g0&lang=EN (face-recognition software demo...upload your pic)

http://www.the-breaks.com/ (find what artists used what samples in their music...searchable)

http://www.playahata.com/ (hip-hop news from a concious perspective)

http://www.daveyd.com (same sort of idea)

http://www.builtstlouis.net/eaststlouis/eaststl02.html (photo essay on East St. Louis...SCARY place after dark...)

http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/ (NY Public Library image database)

http://www.lulu.com/content/63504 (urban survival guide...a must for those of you who didn't get camping passes or motels)

http://www.logotypes.ru/default_e.asp (vector-based logos from companies around the world...great for designers)

OK...so there's my list...please share yours...

do you have the bum's book? would you mind sharing it a little?

[SubBass49]

Nah...but the download is only like $5. I thought about buying copies and giving them out to homeless people, but I never got around to it.

On another note though, I've been checking out the Retrojunk page and having a great time...the commercials of the 80s is the best...especially the Public Service Announcements. They have all the classics.

So maybe the best title of this thread wasn't websites...can't believe it fell so fast

[SubBass49]

You guys just have no appreciation for Pee-Wee Herman doing anti-crack ads...(shakes head sadly)...lol

Here is a dating site for Archie Bunker and other right wingers. http://www.conservativematch.com AND http://www.conservativematchmaker.com (not the same). Of course we do not need more right wing nuts being produced due to their parents meeting on these "lovely" sites.
