This would actually be a serviceable links page if I just redirected it to my Pinboard links. More on that below, but here are...
Links to some interesting websites (circa 2015)
Making the World-Wide Web a much, much, better place for everyone
Blogging
People say that no one blogs any more, but this is ridiculous. Tumblr, Facebook, and Twitter are all variations on blogging. wordpress.com and LiveJournal are still around and seem to be doing fine
- MetaFilter - probably still the single best massively participatory blog for fairly general topics, with some geeky leanings
- Daring Fireball - reported and original thoughts on Apple and their products, James Bond, and whatever else strikes Gruber's fancy
Non-web computer/net resources
- Craigslist - one of the better community bulletin boards in many cities
- Newegg - I haven't used it in a while, but still looks like a good source for hard drives, RAM, etc.
- Hover - domain registration
- Fastmail - Email
- IRC
- Unix won
- VPN, VNC
- Great free software:
- Linux
- Handbrake
- VLC
- Inkscape
Just for fun

I paid real money (see How to Save the Internet) to get an account with this great bookmarking service which lets anyone with an account save and tag links to your heart's content. It then gives you some simple but powerful tools to do things such as embed this tag cloud, which you can use to browse through my links:
And that's just my 40 most-used tags. You can see all of my tags here. And here are the eight links I most recently bookmarked:
