Neat link meme

[geoviki]

Oooh, oooh, I just made up a new meme. Well, maybe it's more a chain-meme. Here it is:

Post a link to one of your favorite web sites in the comments below. You can expound on why you think it's so uber-neat or you can just link and let us explore its uber-neatness ourselves. Then post either that same link or a different link in your own LJ/IJ so it'll get passed along. And then we'll all have a bunch of new links to entertain us and keep us from doing all those important things that we really ought to be doing instead and...oh, wait. Don't listen to me, just add your site.

Here's mine:

Dinosaur Comics

This is just the kind of humor that appeals to me. Every day the writer uses the same images and characters to tell his story. Plus, bonus, if you hover your mouse on the comic, you get a second punchline. What's not to like?

ETA: Because it's my meme, I'm giving you two sites, ahhaha!

Second Hand Songs - A searchable archive of songs and all artists who've covered them. Aren't sure whether or not you're listening to the original? Check this site! I use it a lot.

I love A Softer World. The comics are just as often a punch in the gut as they are funny, and the photography is awesome. (And bonus, Joey Comeau, the writer, is good friends with Dinosaur Comics' Ryan North.)

Garfield minus Garfield

When Garfield is taken out of his comic strip, it's transformed from a trite and repetitive series of gags to existentially hilarious ruminations by Jon, Garfield's depressed, lonely owner. Strips like this one crack me up.

Lifehacker (http://lifehacker.com/)! Useful tips and tricks for tech stuff as well as everyday life. I read the feed religiously. :D

The best, most beautiful and enchanting flash game of all times. Don't forget to turn up your volume: Samorost. There's also Samorost 2.

I love Photoshop Disasters.

I used to work in marketing and one of my responsibilities was proofing ads before they went out to print. So I suppose there's a certain schadenfreude at work, howling at some of the brainless stunners some people try to pass off on the public.

http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/ I spend hours on this page and reading its print mag.

Proof that I'm old: The info sidebar said something like 'Did you know that "Whiter Shade of Pale" by the Black Label Society was originally recorded by Procul Harum?' I didn't know that it was recorded by anyone ELSE but Procul Harum. Great site. *bookmarks*

I love The Speech Accent Archive. I've spent way too much time there looking up different accents.

Yay, I love Dinosaur Comics!

The math nerd in me is totally obsessed with graphjam (http://graphjam.com/) lately. And (The Customer is) Not Always Right (http://notalwaysright.com/) reminds me how incredibly delighted I am to no longer work in retail.

Exactly what it says on the (unpronounceable) tin.
