CamWorld has Links
1999-01-13 19:22:00
So, I must say, "Ooh Ma Ma, there are a fuckload of links to links to links to links web sites out there now." And the reason I must say it is that it's true! And CamWorld is one of them.
Some people call them slashdot-style sites, some call them CHEK OUT MY LISTT OF KEWL LINKS!!!1!! sites. Whatever you call these things -- lists and lists of frequently-updated links to other people's crap -- you have to admit they're growing like a fleshy fungus. Hell, in some ways, Pigdog is one of them! (But in most ways, not.)
We're gonna try and cover as many of these sites as we can in the "Links to Links to..." category of Pigdog articles. Hell, this genre is ripe to be taken to the NEXT LEVEL, and you know that's what we do here at Pigdog.
Anyways, CamWorld. I would call this a memepool-style link-o-rama site: cryptic one-sentence blurbs about freak-o glossy "New Media"-style links, low production values, no flashy crap. Just pretty fair links. Hell, this is what the Web is all about, isn't it?
Cam linked to Pigdog, so I figure we should return the favor. There's dark feedback-loop implications, I know, but what the fuck. Gotta start somewhere.
I give CamWorld a B+, but that's just because I just started grading so I don't have much comparison to go on. If you can't get ENOUGH of that fucking A tag, and you want ANOTHER links to links to links to links site to diddle around with, go check out CamWorld, eh?

John Dvorak has passed. I’m of mixed emotions. First off I’m more positive about his contribution to the overall technology journalism of the early PC days through the 90s, despite how many things he got wrong. He was a firebrand and commanded attention. (More...)

A Day in the Life of a Beverotologist
It was starting to look like a very boring Saturday, trapped as I was in the suburban wastelands of the outer Bay Area, so I called my Able Assistant (AA) and proposed that we perform some Spocktail field tests. For some time I've been working on creating the quintessential cinematic beverage and even tho' SMRL does most of its testing during nocturnal hours, this seemed an opportune time to roll up the sleeves of our labcoats and get some science done. While the beverotology creation tested this day (The Neurotoxin) must be deemed a success, this article focuses more the journey of the experimenters, rather then the science of beverotology.

Vacationing from Somnambulant Narrow Realities
So about six months ago, I was chilling in Chang Mai, Thailand with ICBINJ, perursing the Bangkok Times over my banana pancake and Big Chang breakfast when I spotted this article reprinted from the LA Times. It was about some kooks from California (where else?) who were claiming to have been to the front lines in Afgahnistan in mid-December and had recorded the whole feat on their website. "Holy Fuck!" I thought, "Now That's web journalism. Who are these guys!?" (More...)
The One I Feel Sorry For Is Joses
We've had a lot of Jesus coverage lately here at the PDJ. But let's face it, we're not exactly cutting-edge in this subject area. Jesus has been making headlines for, oh, I guess it's a couple thousand years now. Jesus is a very strong brand. Jesus has a lot of mindshare. (More...)
During a magnificent sunny day in a fast receding autumn, the Spock Science Monitor reporters once again blew the playa dust off of their computers and covered the 2002 Burning Man Decompression – held every year just east of Portola Hill in beautiful San Francisco. Both an afternoon and evening issues were released to the unsuspecting crowd of freaks attempting to in some small way experience the euphoria of the playa – if but for a brief afternoon far from the desolation of Northern Nevada.
