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.

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.
