Shar is one of my oldest on-line friends, as in length of time known not older-than-dirt old. If you wander off that way, take a look through her gallery as well. There's quite a few good shots plus buried someplace in it is my first (and only) fansign. If you missed it in the Welcome Notes, the vert on the left is why I made the link images for my site verts.

Bob is also one of my oldest on-line friends, in both senses of that phrase. He's also the best all-around artist I know, from music to graphics to flash games. The button on the left is my fault, since he has none of his own, but he said it was fine so I'll stick with it.

A great place to waste time finding (and playing) games of all sorts. Once Bob started submitting flash with its logo, I started taking notice.

Due to some conflicts with Wade and James, it's only on rare occasions I wander over to Newgrounds these days, but that shouldn't detract from the site for you folks. The site functions as a place for budding artists to present their work and try to get advice on how to improve it. Clicking on Portal will get you to the flash work, while clicking on Audio Portal will get you to original music. The column on the right in the Portal is the top 50, all of which are worth viewing, but a lot of good work is buried lower in that ranking list. Last I checked, the profiles of Denvish (Bob), D0GMA (me, yes, really), gfoxcook, and Syme should give you a good variance in some of the older works as their favorite flash and artists.

Another nice time waster is Neopets. You don't have to have an account to play games there, but little things (like getting our score on the high score list) require you to make an account and a pet. They aren't as demanding as virtupets like Tamagotchis, but there's a lot more you can do with (and to) them.

So I finally found out what my friend Ralph's site is, and got him to give me an image for the link. The fun part about his site is that Walt Disney Corp threatened to sue him for ownership of the site name, as the lead roach in Joe's Apartment is named Ralph. The morons in their legal department need to learn how to use the internet *cough* ARIN *cough* InterNIC *cough* Ralph's been doing freelance photography since before I even started shooting, but his site doesn't have a lot of his work. A bit more can be found at photoSIG, plus another site he uses. A lot of that last is with models and, to my eyes, is rather tame. However, since my niece and nephews may access my site, and I'd rather not get shot by my sister, I'm kind of not going to link to that one from here.

I occasionally go surfing the web looking for funny videos, and this is a compilation of the better ones. I don't restrict myself to English sites, so you'll find these in all different languages, but most of them don't require you to understand the language to get it.

Gelegentlich surfe ich das Netz um lustige Videos suchen, und dies ist eine Kompilation von der besseren. Ich beschränke mich nicht auf englische oder deutsche Websites, also finden diese in allen unterschiedlichen Sprachen, aber die meisten ihnen benötigen Sie nicht die Sprache verstehen um sie zu verstehen.
