CALL ME ISHMAEL RECORDINGS
This
non-profit organization has a mission to provide the population of North
America with cool driving music. Great compilations of pop and rock music
that give mix tapes a good name!
PRINCE IN PRINT For
some reason, I thought the world needed access to a large archive of text
describing and documenting the fascinating world of Prince Rogers
Nelson.
Therefore, I collected a vast array of reviews, interviews and news articles
that has become the most comprehensive on the Web. For current news about
His Royal Badness, try HouseQuake.com or prince.org.
INTERNET
MOVIE DATABASE
Did you ever watch a movie and ask yourself, "Where have I seen this guy
before?" Get your answers the way I do -- surf to the IMDb and click some
links. I've spent hours wandering around the most massive of all film resources,
picking up useless knowledge so I can bore my friends.
ROGER EBERT
Only one film critic has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize, and that's our pal
here with the thumb. While Ebert is no longer with us, his website contains a searchable
database of his movie reviews from throughout his career, and they are a joy to read. His He works on a
4-star scale, and I've learned that the low-ranking reviews are the most
entertaining.
THE ONION
Current events and popular culture have never been skewered with more skill.
The Onion is the funniest site on the Web, and in the spirit of all great
satire, it can also make you think.
URBAN
LEGENDS REFERENCE PAGES
Did you receive a forwarded email containing a story that sounds implausible?
Did someone tell you an anecdote about something wildly bizarre that happened
to a "friend of their cousin who lives in Las Vegas"? Are you simply
a cynical jerk like me? Zip on over to snopes.com and
check it out.
XAVIER XERXES
My older brother, the very talented John Howard II, is marketing his self-released
CD album at this site. You can see pictures of his custom-made guitars
and
hear some of his wacky jams! You can also learn a lot about John by going
to his personal site at JohnHoward.net.
BRAD HOWARD FURNITURE
This site showcases the furniture-making skills of my younger brother, who
both designs and builds custom-made, hand-crafted cabinets, tables and shelving
units. One of these days I'm going to ask him to make display cases for my
Star Wars figures.
OTIS TWELVE AND DIVER DAN DOOMEY PODCAST
Otis Twelve and Diver Dan Doomey made their mark on radio comedy in the early 80s with Space Commander Wack, a sci-fi parody and satire. Over the next two decades, radio listeners in the Omaha, Nebraska area also heard the adventures of Lance Stallion, Radio Detective and learned about the life and times of the Mean Farmer. Fans of Firesign Theatre or Duck's Breath will find a lot to laugh about in these classic episodes of Diver Dan and Otis XII's greatest bits!
