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...)

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)
The Ancient and Correct Sake Ceremony
Many Americans have learned to appreciate the delicate, sophisticated flavors of Japanese food and drink, along with the beautifully refined rituals of Japanese dining.

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...)
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.
