dave life links

Barren Realms- where i spend most of my on-line time. Shortcut to the Builder's Guide.
The American Motorists Association- dedicated to the the abolition of unfair and predatory motor-vehicle regulations.
Think that big government creates more problems than it solves? So does the Libertarian Party.
Adbusters.org is an on-line 'zine opposed to rampant, mindless consumerism. They do things like "Buy Nothing Day," which encourages people to refrain from buying anything on the day after Thanksgiving.
What's it like working for a multi-billion-dollar corporation? A heck of a lot like this.
Wanna see something random? We've got hard-core deviant porn mixed with an apparently sincere admonishment to kill homosexuals for God, at the Christian Gallery.
The Onion kicks ass- a satirical, smart-ass weekly 'zine, with archived interviews with about half the people on the music links list below.
Upchuck.com does for the great city of Chucktown what The Onion does for the world at large- good stuff!
The Charleston Post and Courier- read the classifieds for free on-line! Woohoo!

Good music save your soul...

Motorhead! The semi-official Motorheadbangers (fan club) home page.
An excellent un-official Motorhead home page by a guy in Virginia.
The Genitorturers- a thrashy, noisy, fetishy Florida-based band- their live show is... quite a sight.
Bad Religion has the most websites of any band i listen to; so i'm linking to a couple favorites. The Bad Religion Dictionary is a must-read, so you can figure out what the hell they're talking about. The Answer has more BR trivia than you can shake a stick at, plus the stick, and this Bad Religion page has lyrics for all the albums, info, links, pix, etc. etc. etc., and a GodSim to boot!
This is the best site i can find on Operation Ivy- it's over-done and takes a long-ass time to load, but it does have decent content. Op IV may be gone, but their music lives on!
Social Distortion's new album is pretty damned hot.
Tori Amos also has a hell of a lot of unofficial pages, on the web, so i picked this one for all the MP3s.
Dead Kennedys gave me a lot to think about back in high school, and they were my earliest introduction to punk rawk. This guy's page is very nicely done, to boot.
Ban Everything is a nice, simple & elegant site on Jello Biafra... lots and lots of broken links, though.
Pennywise is my latest fave so i've got an excellent link for them.
Have you ever heard of The Wildhearts? They're a fast, loud, obnoxious UK band, and they're damned hard to find stateside. Play 'em loud!
For just about any other band you might be interested in, Yahoo's artists page is an excellent resource- they've got links to thousands of band pages, and most of my links came through them.

Friends, Alfredians, and Countrymen

LANI- there's no one quite as wonderful as Lani Lani Lani Lani...
Rossland! A friend from years back, with an entertainingly sick and twisted homepage. He's got naked pictures- how bad can it be?
My APO big, Lissa, has a webpage now- Hello, Kitty (8
You can take a look at Micah's deceptively normal homepage. He even sings the praises of Alfred- must be up to something (8

Computer-related Links

Happy Puppy Games an excellent site for downloading games of all sorts.
Microsquash- your computer not only will be assimilated- it probably already has been. So, you might as well check out their website to download fixes for all the stuff that doesn't work right after you loaded Win95...
Diamond they make whoop-ass video boards, like the one in my computer.
Creative Labs- they set the standards for most sound cards and a lot of CD-ROM drives. Some useful downloads here.
Hewlett Packard- Probably the leading name in desktop and business printers. Watch out for their Deskjet 400, though- it absolutely refused to work under Windows 3.1 on my old 486-33.
Apogee Games- creators of wonderful shareware programs like Commander Keen!
3-D Realms- creators of wonderful shareware programs like Duke Nukem 3D.
Maricopa Community College has an excellent on-line HTML tutorial. It was more than good enough to help me get the basics down.
Mirabilis is the site to go to for ICQ, a new way to contact people and exchange information on-line. My number is 4889931- feel free to drop me a line.
The Web Interface to Whois is a neat trick- it'll allow you to look up the owners of domain names.
