Report Blog Entry
An annotated list of my favorite places on the net. Other than SpaceHey of course. Some of the sites/links are defunct but still good sources of knowledge.
Brainsturbator
Here I link to the Brainsturbator of old, with many fantastic and memorable articles. Together with the knowledge of Humpasaur Jones and Skilluminati Research, the mid-to-late 2000s could be more readily navigated.
Miqel.com
Awesome website run by a cool person. So much stuff here. Fractal mathematics, futuristic art, outer space. Praise "Bob"!
Fusion Anomaly
One of my favorites during high school; it gave me something to do other than getting pelted with spit wads for being down with the clown. I always liked the hyperweb aspect. I felt super hip browsing this one!
The Deoxyribonucleic Hyperdimension
It used to be at deoxy.org
Older version of the site: https://jacobsm.com/deoxy/deoxy.org/index.html
"Newer" version: https://web.archive.org/web/20130804145445/http://deoxy.org/
A very chaotic blend, much like Fusion Anomaly. This site had a lot of Terence Mckenna and psychedelic lore, random knowledge, very cutting edge website programming for its time, hyperlinks, cool stuff, and quotes.
Reality Carnival
Clifford Pickover is one of my favorite authors with many varied works. Just like this sprawling website and ever ongoing list of interesting and excellent things.
Technoccult
The archives of Technoccult go deep. Many interviews and articles for mindful cyborgs and other various mutants.
Post Human Blues
Archive of posts covering the changing of the seasons in the post millenium.
Phys.org
My usual one-stop shop for most general science news.
The Daily Galaxy
Go-to for space news.
Utopia Online Library
"A collection of texts and interviews exploring possibilites and boundaries of social evolution."
The Huge Entity
2000s blog with lots of random knowledge. Best way to navigate is to use the archives tab at the bottom.
Techgnosis
The website of author Erik Davis, and also the title of a classic (and highly recommended) book.
Aleph.se Transhumanist Resources
Anders Sandberg's site about transhumanism was maybe the first I came across. Includes a lot of links that probably don't work anymore (would recommend using The Wayback Machine).
H+ Magazine
H+ Magazine was a look at optimistic tech in the early 2010s.
Outside The Light-Cone
Mark Pesce's site with talks, presentations, and interviews.
Dedroidify
Compendium of distilled wisdom.
Giulio Prisco
Futurist blog posts from the 2000s. Cosmism, virtual reality, simulation, telepresence and quantum computing.
Lucid Dreamers' Community
I haven't been to this forum in years, but a long time ago it was a special place for me as I was practicing lucid dreaming in the late 90s. The old version of the site is worth looking up on the Wayback Machine, to check out how awesome the artwork and the design was. There were even methods for using the site along with lucid dreaming practice, e.g. wake back to bed method where you would actually go log onto the site to see if you in fact were dreaming or awake.. Fun trivia, I came across the band Infected Mushroom on this site, who had just released the Classical Mushroom album.
The Internet Archive
I could not say enough good things about The Internet Archive. I hope they get a Nobel Prize and billions of dollars in funding for the work they do.
Mondo 2000
After the original Mondo 2000 magazine series there was the Mondo Globo Network with my favorite series of podcasts in the early 2000s, including Neofiles and the R.U. Sirius Show. Later came 10 Zen Monkeys and Acceler8or. Most recently Mondo 2000 has a website.
The Spirit of the Internet
Lorenzo Hagerty's book about the internet. Musings on cyberspace and global connectivity, and a primer for newer students of millenial cyberculture.
Coilhouse
Alt-culture blog and magazine which ran from 2007-2012. Excellent category list.
Hans Moravec
I get into scientists the same way people get into bands. Hans Moravec is definitely one of them. A luminary in robotics and AI, his book Mind Children still flips my wig.
Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
Virtual tour of the natural history museum.
Nick Bostrom's Home Page
Author of the Simulation Argument (https://www.simulation-argument.com/). Lots of stuff to read here, various papers and PDF downloads.

wwwwwwwww.jodi.org
No list would be complete without a "weird" site thrown in. The web used to be resplendent with bizarre websites that seemed to exist for no real purpose other than to bedazzle and amuse. Some like wwwwwwwww.jodi.org might be held to a high degree as contemporary art.

Whoop Whoop! I was Netscape surfing the ICP website back in 1997 on the school Power Macintosh. Included Letters From Angry Mammas, the Wicked Chat Room, and notes from Jelly Nuts. ICP has one of the oldest and among the first band websites on the 'net.

I love the Internet Archive!
I recently came across an entire archive of Kmart (department store in the U.S.) cassette tapes of music they would play in the early 1990s. Truly obscure things! The importance of what they do is highly slept on.
