Over the last few years, I have grown bored with the Internet. No longer amused by cam-girl drama, animal-farm sex, and yet another geek proclaiming to be more linux savvy than thou, I've cut down on my daily surfing activities quite a bit. I often find myself yearning for the days of Pastor Swiggy's Church of Spam and the original "Dark Side of the Web." Some people, however, have preserved my sanity, not only through their good looks and quick wit, but also through their various quirks and unconventional web presences.
A
Artspike comes both in paper and in HTML. A local, free 'zine, Artspike is one the few "alternative" reads in Cincinnati.
Athena runs operation-glam. She has neat stuff.


B

Blue Man Group
provides a trippy treat for the eyes and ears. Plus, they creep me out a bit.
Bobby has a clown alter-ego, who plays a mean ping-pong game. Sometimes.
Bonnie is smart, savvy, and a collector of many strange items.


C
City Beat, another Cincinnati paper, has been around for quite some time. I personally enjoy the "back" pages with the sexy ads.
Cory!! Strode drinks Guiness and has a tough job. He preserves his sanity via entertaining others.


D
Dean likes Paige from Trading Spaces.
Diane attended the same nunnery as I did. One of these days, she will be a world famous fashion designer.

F
Fark makes me laugh.
Fetish Factory, specifically the Fetish Factory Store, will make you feel tingly.
Fragx is an online writing community with which I need to reunite.
Free Words are free.

Heather Champ maintains Jezebel and Harrumph; both are fun. Her Mirror Project sports a picture of my tongue.
Houghton Mifflin is where I get free exam copies of textbooks.


I


J
Jesus is looking for a single white female to bathe and love.
Jones Soda has made my cat a star. As well as my feet and my buddha.

Kitty is one of the most outspoken personalities on the web. Read her website or journal once. You'll be angry or amused; you'll definitely return.
Kompressor DOES NOT DANCE.


L
Lacey, the notorious snake girl, is a camwhore with a shtick. Plus her boyfriend shows his boobies on cam.
Lip Service clothing fills my closets. Hence, one of the reasons I am poor.

Oxford English Dictionary: every Engish major needs access to it.

Ramen Budget is an Internet gem.
Rashelle, from Tampax, Flounder, has some cool Photoshop brushes.


S
Sarah, another Cincinnati inmate, is fun to talk to about sex and odd alcohol concoctions: sure, I see nothing wrong with mixing Rolling Rock and Jagermeister. No problemo.
Steveo sends me music, plus he'll tell you to "get bent."


T
Tech TV used to be on my television all day, back when I had cable.
T-Shirt Hell provides offensive clothing for rude-ass-anti-pc-assholes like myself.
Think Geek has lots of gadgets I'd love to have.
Tricia is an old friend from the high school days. She speaks a zillion languages and amazes me with her intelligence on a daily basis.

V
Verotika makes the Internet pretty.


W
WAIF has the best radio shows in Cincinnati. Metal Connection!
What the Fuck makes me giddy, really.
WNKU provides a great variety of music and talk and is located at, duh, NKU.
WOXY is the only real "alternative" (I hate that word) station near me. Thank God they broadcast on the Internet, as I can't receive their measley signal.
WVXU is part of the X-Star Radio Network and has employed many radio-wannabes I've known. Plus, it's located on Xavier's campus (where I attended graduate school).
