Webcomics & Webserials
  • A Good Fantasy
    Webserial, written by Darin. Updates Saturdays and/or whenever I have time.
  • Agent Aeolus
    A webserial with very good writing. Sci-fantasy involving secret agents with superpowers is not quite my genre, but it's still very good.
  • Eastern Standard Tribe
    Novel by Cory Doctorow, available free online. People used to group themselves by location, but as communication technology improved there was no reason to do so. Unless they found companions in other time zones. Thus the tribes formed - groups of people on the same time schedule no matter where they went. Now, with stress, sleep deprivation, and industrial intrigue running rampant, Art Berry has been betrayed by his friends, and has to decide: Is it better to be smart, or to be happy?
  • Girl Genius
    A dangerously good webcomic focused on mad science in a "gaslamp" or "steampunk" fantasy world.
  • Indexed
    Wisdom, insight, and humor all conveniently graphed, charted, and delivered one index card at a time. This webcomic reminds me of a softer, quieter XKCD.
  • Narbonic
    Webcomic by Shaenon K. Garrity. Great writing, clear drawing, mad science, and gerbils. Many hours of hilarity and/or procrastination.
Computing
  • In the Beginning was the Command Line
    An essay by Neal Stephenson on the merits of the command line, the age of the GUI, and a variety of other topics. Part computer history, part philosophy.
