The Improved Links Page

Fun Stuff

- links to webcomics, joke pages, and other fun stuff in general

Simply the funniest webcomic out there, in my own honest opinion. It doesn't hurt that I'm a total movie-fanatic myself, and thus can relate to the antics of the characters in the series!

Another top-notch webcomic. The only problem is that the creator often seems to take long breaks from drawing... Storylines span many episodes, so read them in order!

The original 'overheard' site. It dates back to 2000 and has a strong community following with lots of fun comments to the quotes published on the site.

Currently probably the biggest and most active 'overheard' site, contains loads of laughs and updates many times a day! Less intimate than Inpassing though.

Sister-site to OHINY, this features overheard converstations and statements picked up in offices around the world. You can see Dilbert is right on the money!

Blogs

- blogs that don't exclusively belong to any other category

The one and only, the real-McCoy, the leader in meta-link-blog-things : BoingBoing! Up-to-date links to popular topics, mainly (but not only) within the IT area. One of the main contributors in Xeni Jardin.

Near daily comments on media, information, copyright, etc. by Swedish PhD student Niclas Lundblad who works at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce. (In Swedish)

A good blog whose author, Andy Baio, does not update NEARLY as often as he should, but it's worth a daily visit simply for the interesting links!

A blog written by a Japanese woman on mundane things about everyday life in Tokyo. For a foreign Tokyoite like me it's extremely interesting!

Together with Doom9 (see below) the best resource on the web for video-converting, authoring, encoding, etc. A huge collection of useful guides and software.

Doom9 is simply the definitive resource when it comes to information about backing up DVDs, authoring or encoding video. Lots of codecs, software, guides, etc.

Entertainment

- anything related to the entertainment industry

Get your daily quota of Hollywood gossip from the ultimate gossip-site. Saying this is a classy gossip-site might be an oxymoron, but it's rather professionally-looking.

Actual (or so they say) pitches from screen-writers that have been denied (for good reasons) and are often hilarious, painfully stupid, and cliche!

A straightforward, no-holds-barred, movie-critic site which also hosts the Critic Watch (spotting the whores of the industry), and a good movie-related forum.

A very professional movie-site containing well-written reviews, interesting articles, and lots of links to current movie-related news and information.

The definitive source of US (and to a lesser degree, worldwide) movie Box-Office figures. There is virtually an endless amount of statistics; you can select to view data based on weekends, yearly, daily, movie, actors etc.
