Parting Shots
By Matt Cohlmia  

If you absolutely must leave our little website, here
are some exit strategies we’d recommend checking out.

www.thememoryhole.org

This site is dedicated to saving information that would otherwise be lost – government documents, police reports, news articles, etc. It’s run by the founder of www.disinformation.com and author of a few controversial books, including 50 Things You’re Not Supposed to Know. There, he notes, among other things, that Kent State wasn’t the only massacre of U.S. college students during the Vietnam War. Some crazy stuff.

 

www.milkandcookies.com

This is like YouTube for those who don’t want to watch random people broadcast their lives. Yeah, it’s not nearly as searchable or comprehensive, but has a higher ratio of good clips if you’re just browsing. Sorry lonelygirl15.

 

www.dooce.com

Speaking of random people broadcasting their lives, Heather B. Armstrong has amassed an incredible following by doing exactly that in her blog, Dooce. She’s funny, open, and undeniably likeable. Dooce has become the archetype personal blog for a whole generation of bloggers, forever ensuring that millions of personal, passionate livejournal entries will be broadcast to the world by emo kids, even if no one ever reads them. Armstrong is pretty great, though.

This, my friends, is Ian Fieggen’s Shoelace site. I’ll bet you didn’t know there were 31 ways to lace shoes, but hey, that’s what the internet is for right? Try re-lacing your shoes during a study break at the library.

 

www.tinymixtapes.com

What’s that you say? Pitchfork Media is lame? You want unique and wonderful music, but you don’t know where to turn? Enter Tiny Mix Tapes. It’s like Pitchfork, but with an added boost of weird fun and lacking in the pretentiousness. Their most famous feat is the Automatic Mix Tapes Generator. Visitors propose a mix tape name and volunteers (called Mixtape Robots) will put together an appropriate track list, but these aren’t your average “My girlfriend broke up with me” mix tapes. Instead, they’re titled “Songs for Dogs to Poop Along to” and other such nonsense.

It is what you think it is. Start out by clicking to pop the bubbles, then when that gets boring, switch to manic mode.
