Research & Reading
| American Memory | Historical collections from the Library of Congress. Explore baseball during the Civil War or photos of factory conditions at the height of the Industrial Revolution. |
| Arts & Letters Daily | An amazing selection of current articles, with links to domestic and foreign news networks, newspapers, magazines, columnists, talk and music radio, and reference sites. Updated each weekday and once for weekends. |
| Smithsonian Magazine | Not a stuffy museum at all. Find something interesting and unusual in every issue of this venerable magazine. |
| Utne Reader | "The best of the alternative press." Nina Utne and her staff feature the stories you won't read in Time or Newsweek. |
Diversions
| My Politics | Not really a diversion; I take this pretty seriously. This is an extraordinary flash movie by Ian Rhett, a young singer with a keen social conscience. |
| Post-Video Art | Short experimental art films. A perfect break. |
| Mumbleboy | An excellent break for eyes tired of reading text. |
| Reverend Billy |
A fixture on Times Square, the Reverend and his gospel choir rant against chain stores and consumer culture. Interesting performance art. |
| Breathing Planet | Interesting links to "hactivist" projects. Environmentally conscious and culture jamming at the same time. |
| Conglomco | My son Chris is part of the group Denim & Diamonds. You can find links to his and his cohorts' music and projects here. |
| The Nine Planets | "A multimedia tour of the solar system." A diversion that's also educational. |
