UT Austin Web Central
Hey, I work UT. Besides, they have handy stuff pretty well organized.
Yahoo
If you need to find something, what you gonna call? Yaaaaahoo!
The Lycos Home Page
If I'm looking for something really random or obscure, this is the place. The have over five and a half million URLs!
EINet Galaxy
Not as big but nicely organized and good options for their search engine.

Motion Pictures

Internet Movie Database
My main email correspondence is the Balcony, a small movie mailing list and this database is indispensable when my memory fails as it does all too often.
The Hal Hartley Web Page
The web home of another mailing list I'm on, rifle (if you dig Hal, you get the name.) Hartley is one of my favorite directors, check out this page to get the name of all his wonderful films.
amateur.html
This is Sony's page for Hal Hartley's newest movie. Actually I use this to get to the rest of this division, LOW RES Film Festival
Okay, I actually don't check out this page but it's just so cool you must check it out. It's a bunch of promo material for these short films and it's hilarious. It features a bunch of QuickTime clips of these films, download them if you have the time and ability to play them. Especially grab the 3.5Mb trailer for Slacker Cop 3!

TV

What's Miles Watching on TV
I check this one more than you (or I) would think. Miles has JPEGs load from his TV to this page. It can be done with great frequency but it seems like he usually has a couple per day. I think there are tips for doing it yourself as well.
The Truth Is Out There
Yes, the X-Files page. Not the Fox Network's but an older one which is pretty comprehensive. Not too much multimedia stuff but a good episode guide. When this show first aired, I thought it was going to be really bad. I mean, as if Encounters and those other shows aren't fictional enough. Then I watched some late in the first season and got drawn in by the excellent writing, direction, and acting (did I leave anything out?)

Computers

FTP UT Mac Archive
Not as big as the Info-Mac or UMich archives but a) you can get in whenever you want, b) it has all the essential apps, and soon after their release, and c) no hopping so it's faster (I think so but I'm no netgineer.)

Comp. Pubs

TechWeb
They have put out a bunch of computer magazine, InformationWeek Home Page and Interactive Age are two which Iike and I really like reading this stuff and not paying for a subscription ;) I think they went to a sign-in system like HotWired's so be warned.
Welcome to ZD net
Another computer publisher,
Inter@ctive Week is one I especially like, Brock N. Meeks, who runs the mailing list Cyberwire Dispatch, writes for them and he's the man.

HTML

I'm new to web page making (as if you couldn't tell) and these are some helpful links.

HTML crash_course
Just what it says.
HTMLPrimer
Ditto.
Learning HTML
See, I told you they have helpful stuff at the UTexas Web Page.
Interactive Graphics Generation Page
I just found out about this today from Interactive Age. You use it to make custom bullets and lines for your own web page! I haven't added them yet but it's a cool project.
pushpull.html
An info page all about new web tricks to do crude animation and other things. Not compatible with all browsers I'm sure.

CGI

I'd like have a web page which is more than a digital pamphlet and learning about CGI is part of that. Not much luck so far so if you want to help, write me

Yahoo- CGI- Common Gateway Interface
Why go hither and yon when there's lots in one spot?
Yahoo - Languages:Perl
Seems like a good language to learn and probably what I'll try to use for CGIs.
Yahoo - WWW:Programming:Perl Scripts
More Perl stuff.
CGI Form Handling in Perl
This is what I've been going on about.

UNIX

I can avoid knowing almost anything about UNIX and still have this page but I want to know.

unix.html
index.html
UT's Unix help
Man Page Search Thingie
Read those Unix man pages without leaving the comfort of your browser.
UNIX Reference Desk
Internet and UNIX Dictionary

Pubs

FringeWare Inc.
I mentioned them before, pretty keen!

Comics

The Dilbert Zone
It's not just for engineers, or just office workers, but it helps. Daily.
Fried Society, by Chris Kelly
Irregular but usually pretty funny.
This Modern World
If you don't have an alterna-rag which carries Tom Tommorow's comic, get it here. Weekly, sort of.
NetBoy.com
Sometimes funny, minimalist, pure net comic. Supposed to be weekly, but isn't.

Reference

Hypertext Webster Interface
A dictionary, very handy.
ARTFL Project: ROGET Form
A thesaurus, also handy.

Sound

RealAudio Homepage
One of the coolest inventions, internet files that you listen to in real time! When CU See Me came out I was wondering when someone would tackle audio. You wouldn't want to play the output on your stereo but it's fine for speech (like NPR) and you can get the feel for the music. They say it works with a 14.4k modem but it depends on your hardware and connection to a site.
All Music Guide (CDNow!)
A commercial site, but a good music reference with reviews.
