This is merely a collection of links to websites of friends, family and people I know, as well as sites that are just plain fun with no redeeming social or academic value. Enjoy. And be sure to tell them who sent you.

Campus Talk Magazine: The most legit job this website has led me to yet. Like Maxim for college kids and distributed to student unions across the country, pick up an issue every month to get several doses of my humor and illegitimate advice. The perfect thing to read in that boring lecture class they're making you take.

Greenwich Village Gazette: The e-zine where my humor column began. A good place to get "alternative" views on current issues in New York and the world, as well as to read my thoughts about spiders and spoons and stuff.

The Panic Years: The witty upcoming book for young single women by Doree Lewak about "Surviving smug married friends, bad taffeta, and life on the wrong side of 25 without a ring."

All Boxed In: Seriously the freshest, funniest, most original comic strip I've read in a long time... and I'm not just saying that because I know the artist. Bob Canning has produced a strip, available only online, about four out-of-work comic strip characters... as in the characters in his comic strip are characters in comic strips... albeit, unemployed ones.

Sister Betty: If you enjoy my writing style, then you'll spend hours and hours absorbed in this guy's site as well. From an awesome road trip chronicle to a truly engaging blog, this guy makes you laugh and makes you think and does it all from a gay man's perspective.

Chris Epting: A seasoned travel writer, this guy has written several road trip books detailing the history and location of hundreds of American pop culture events: from the crash site of the Hindenberg to the restaurant where the hamburger was invented.

Query Letters I Love: As a former literary assistant, I am in love with this site. The most insane, horrible, laughable, idiotic, juvenile - and 100% real - screenplay query letters ever to hit a Hollywood reader's desk.

Burnin' Vernon Productions: The company that produced the major motion picture "Wish You Were Here" which you've never seen. I spent the best month of my life working with director, Jason Smith and producer, Bill Kingsbury on their film about three guys escaping life on a road trip only to find it along the way.

Amy Loftus: With the attitude of Aimee Mann and the hauntingly spiritual voice of Alison Krauss, Amy is an as-yet undiscovered singer/songwriter. Her music is a little bit folky, a little bit bluesy, a little bit country, a little bit rock-n-roll, and a whole lot of passion. Read my article about Amy here.

Strongbad's E-mail: An easy addiction. I can't even explain it. It's just a guy wearing boxing gloves answering e-mails. Your first reaction will be, "What the hell is this?" followed by, "Why am I laughing at this?" and ending with, "Come here, you have to see this!"

Evil Conservative Industries: If you are an evil conservative who enjoys dumping arsenic into the public water supply, stealing oil from sovereign nations and killing baby rabbits just because they're POOR, this is your site. Lots of great political flyers and paraphernalia, including the must-have accessory for every evil conservative: the "I LOVE HALIBURTON" t-shirt.

Geo Metro Power: This guy Gustav loves Geo Metros. No, I mean he really LOVES Geo Metros. So much so that he's devoted an entire site to this "international car of mystery." Geo jokes, a Geo history and many many pictures of Geos to be found. Read my column about my Geo here.

Redpaw FX: My friend from college, John Cassella's site. John does CGI effects for movies. His screen credits include (among others) The Matrix Reloaded, Amercian Beauty, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Mission Impossible 2.

Even Another: Another friend from college, Vic Carbonneau's personal site. Plenty of pictures of people you don't know. You MUST check out the bar that Vic built himself from scratch, complete with a Green Bay packers logo bar top made entirely out of bottle caps!

JasonJasonJason: "And you thought your website was half-assed." Yet another friend from college. Can you guess what his name is? Plenty more pictures of people you don't know as well as postcards and imprinted pennies from around the world.

Trinity 63: The television show I produced in college about a Christian television station. It's primitive and full of flaws (the site, not the show), but if any big studio head happens by it and wants to make it into a movie (the show, not the site), please make checks payable directly to me.

Emerson College: My alma mater back in Boston specializing in communications and the performing arts. Even though I'm currently very upset with them for selling all the really cool old brownstone buildings I used to call home, I figured I'd still be their pimp for anybody interested.

Prime to Go - The Portable Post Production People: The day job everybody keeps telling me not to quit. We rent Avids®. For a week, for a month, in your edit suite or in your hotel room, we tailor each system to your specific needs and ship anywhere in the country.

IN-N-OUT Burger: The best burger you will ever eat - EVER. Unfortunately, they only operate out of California, Nevada and Arizona. Read the menu, find locations and buy fun In-n-Out merchandise. Read my column about them here.

KPIG: 107(OINK)5 out of Freedom, California. No one format or genre. Just imagine the kind of music you'd hear in a gritty Texas saloon or smoky blues dive. Great music that you won't hear anywhere else. You have a pay a small fee to Real Player to hear them, but it's totally worth it.

Dave Barry: The man who has made humor column writing in this country what it is today. Still going strong after over 20 years, this guy has been a great model of comic genius as I attempt to make money writing about spiders and spoons and stuff.
