This is the start of my links page. Like most who've been surfing for as long as I've been there's a lot of favourite spots on the web that have been acrued. As for now, I've no idea how to organize so I'll use my usual style - unorganized prose. I guess it's better than listing my links as haiku... though I just might try that.

My web browser, Mozilla, has pointed to one home-page in particular for at least four years, and that page is Slashdot. It's an interesting community, never short of content and acerbic commentary on that content.

Another important forum for me, though one that has far fewer visitors, is the forum at Puppy Games. Cas, the gentleman behind Puppy Games is somewhat of an inspiration. He wrote the game Alien Flux and has championed using Java for games. I highly recommend this game. There's more on Cas and his contributions to my own stuff on my projects() page.

This next link is the website of Kenta Cho, ABA Games. Kenta has written a number of really cool shootem' ups which are freely available, with the source code, from his site. My admiration for Kenta is huge, from his game design ability to his releasing things like BulletML for others to use. Kenta, if you're ever in the NYC area, let me buy you a beer.

Danny DeFonza is an ex-Valaran colleague of mine, a good friend, and he just might be the funniest guy I've had the pleasure to meet. He's also in a band, Two Looks Away. Check out their site and order their disk. It's good stuff. Obviously the huge amount of traffic that links through here will drive lots of sales for Danny... and if he links back there'll be some kind of giant Internet feedback loop created.
