My Top 10s of early 2000

Pick of the Top 10s

What's Your Poison?
Info about commonly used drugs, legal and illegal. From a fairly reliable source :-) our government mass media broadcaster, the ABC.
Boycott Microsoft
Don't get me started...
MacTip of the Week by The MacintoshGuy of Portland
Part of the fun of having a Mac is learning all the shortcuts and easter eggs. After all, you can't make everything intuitive for everyone from novices to experts, so you make it easy for novices and provide shortcuts when people are ready.
Triple J East Timor Appeal
Please donate musical instruments or batttery-powered radios of any working kind to the youth of East Timor.
A Small Piece of Danny Goodman's Mind (ARCHIVE)
SOAR: Searchable Online Archive of Recipes
A great place to when you're wondering "what's for dinner"
The Internet Chef On-Line Magazine
This one's a magazine, so is a bit glossier than the SOAR plus it has cooking tips etc.

Culture

McKenzie Wark Media Studies Cultural Studies Cyberspace
McKenzie usually has something interesting to say about Australian culture and media.
Kim Stanley Robinson
The author of Red Mars, Green Mars, Blue Mars, the epic sci-fi trilogy about the human colonisation of Mars.
Ronny Jordan
One of my favourite cool-as acid jazz musicians.
Inspector Morse
British TV show about the grumpy old confirmed bachelor from Oxford who's a canny detective, but never gets the lady. Love his work.
Welcome to Michael Lucero: Sculpture 1976-1995
I like this as a good example of how to exhibit online. Interesting sculpture too of course!
East European Media and Cinema Studies
A really interesting site from the University of Texas. I found it while looking for stuff on Bulgaria. Contains paper written by students focusing on various Baltic, Balkan, and Slavic countries.
Welcome to PythOnline
He's NOT the Messiah, he's a Very Naughty Boy!
Internet Movie Database
I hang out for the day when I can download and watch them too (I'm happy to pay of course).
Official Rocky Horror Picture Show Web Site!!!
It's just a jump to the left....
Postcard Of Australian Jazz
A weekly "made for the Internet" program showcasing Australian Jazz talent ... old and new. Host is Melbourne Jazz enthusiast, record store owner and local broadcaster, Roger Beilby. RealAudio is so cool! Downloadable music.

Good Web Design

Some of these are examples, some are tutorials that contain examples. One ought to be able to tell them apart!

Welcome to ABC Online

The Age
Melbourne, Australia daily, owned by Fairfax family; one of the most credible in Australia.

National Australian daily, this one owned by Rupert Murdoch. The only decent paper published in Adelaide - too bad it's Rupert's, and it's no good for local stuff.
SA State Weather
from the Bureau of Meteorology

I like this one for a bit of US perspective.
