"I spend far too much time on the Net" Grizzlym.

[grizzlym]

I do spend most of my waking hours on the net. Have done since I was plugged into the mainframe back in 1994

I go to some pretty unusual sites for work. And for my own gratification too.

Here are some of them.

Please contribute. Keep it clean. Keep it interesting.

Re: Nothing too serious....

This is one of the early cult sites on the internet. (Well, a transplant of it.)

Mojave phone booth.

Re: Nothing too serious....

And here's a more recent classic - a time traveler from the future called John Titor visited us not so long ago.

Site here.

Re: Nothing too serious....

This is a great site. An abandoned haunted asylum? Or simply haunted by its history?

Essex Mountain Sanatorium

Re: Nothing too serious....

Once you've checked out Essex Mountain, check it out on Weird New Jersey.

Another great site.

Re: Nothing too serious....

The mother of all alien conspiracies involving an 'exchange program' lives here.

Break out the tinfoil hats and get reading.

Whistle Blowers unite at Wikileaks.

Get the whispers here.

 

[Hawkinspired]

Reveil where you get all your cool pictures from!

The really big button that doesn't do anything.

Another classic of the net.

Press it here.

John Titor was a good, if not ridiculous read.

The Mojave Phone Booth had me confused. I was expecting there to be some hook or twist in the story. No, just a phone booth. Weird.

Read the Serpo one. You'll like G-man

Yeah, you kind os miss the context with Titor because it first hit the net many years ago so his predictions etc hadn't come to past. There was a sense of expectation about it.

Hashima Island (Battleship island) is an abandoned island city off the coast of Japan. (Not so long ago it was one of the most densely populated places on Earth.)

There's some awesome sites with photo tours of the place.

Here's one

Get it on Wiki

And here's a good link for abandoned places.

I was up until about 3am reading various sites and blog sites about Mr Titor.

Man, I can see how people were somewhat convinced about his story.

The sheer detail of his documentation and his understanding of quantum physics lends strong authenticity to his claims.

I learned a heap about TT and it's possibilities plus the worrying upcoming UNIX date thingy.

I'm glad that his recollections failed to come to pass but there is something quite moving and desirable in the world of the future that he describes.

What a great read.

I have been fascinated in the story on Donald Crowhurst for a while now.

If any of you have any spare coin, I would recommend buying the rights to it.

It would make a very interesting film.

The serpo one?

I do agree with the premise of this thread though, Grizzlym does indeed spend too much time on the internerd. But, don't we all.

Yeah, I found it fascinating when I read it. Just an engaging story. There's more where that came from.

As for you Galon, yes, 18 hours a day on the net I reckon...

This site was one of the great viral marketing campaigns of all time.

It wasn't branded Burger King or had any explanation, just the chicken man in the room. The WTF factor was through the roof.

View the chicken here.

Brooklyn Super Hero Supplies.

This site has a great concept and superb art direction.

For a reading initiative in New York, but check out the invisible paint, anti gravity belt and many more.

Here.

After clicking on a couple of the 'links', I have come to the conclusion that, yes, you spend far too much time on the Net Grizzlym.

Good stuff though!

Grizz,

Noosa sent me some 'special sites' the other day.

Is it alright to put the links on here?

As the name suggests, it deals out (and aggregates) criticism for all sorts of stuff.
