Regina Huntington's Annotated Bookmarks
My Top 10s of early 2000
Pick of the Top 10s

- 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.

- McKenzie usually has something interesting to say about Australian culture and media.

- 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!

- 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.
