Websites you can't live without
« on: December 15, 2003, 01:33:43 AM »
Ok, so it should probably be "Websites you'd rather not have to live without," since none of them are probably essential for living.  But there are quite a few websites out there that I would greatly mourn should they disappear one day.

Half.com - has saved me so much money, and cost me so much money on things I might not have bought had they been so cheap.  I will be very very sad when Ebay shuts it down.

The Internet Movie Database, for one.  It's all about instant gratification of the "aaahh, where do I know that person from?" from every movie and TV show on earth.  And it's still free, amazingly enough.

Livejournal.  'Cause I'm a geeky girl who likes that kind of networking.

OC Remix - Where else would I get music from? (Other than VGMix, obviously)

Everything2 - It just went down for two weeks. I only then realised how much I relied on the site for, well, pretty much everything.

I know they do.  And they're planning to shut it down at the end of 2004.  I mean really- can't have people listing items for free can we?

Call me nerdy, but I've become pretty well addicted to Penny Arcade. I've also started checking WWdN daily, and man, that guy is funny.

For those not in the know, WWdN is:
http://www.wilwheaton.net/

Remember that dorky kid Wesley from Star Trek TNG? Turns out he grew up into a well-balanced, amusing guy. Plus, he's an incredible writer. His blog has turned him from sci-fi has-been to pop-culture internet celeb, and with good reason. Anyway, I like it.

Wow.  I had never heard that.  I'll have to read through it- yay for good old Wesley.
