Enter the life of Heather Armstrong, a blogging pioneer who just may have the most entertaining website on the earth. She was quite possibly the first person to be fired from her job because of her weblog. Her posts are funny, introspective, sometimes disturbing, but always entertaining. If I was stranded on a desert island with only one website, it would be dooce.com.

Another humorous site full of social commentary. Plooble™. The name says it all. Flexible. Extensible. Robust and feature-rich. Fully cross-platform. Non-magnetic. Shock resistant.

Enter the world of mad genius Rob Cockerham. Thrill to his hilarious pranks and jokes. Marvel at his incredibly bizzare science club experiments. Chuckle to his strange ebay items. If you only see one website this year, make it cockeyed.com! This is one of the best gems on the net.

Follow the life and loves of a filipina girl called Dimentia. I found her site because she is a Blackboard reader that emailed a comment to me about one of my posts. Her blog is intensely personal and reflective. It chronicles her daily life and offers insight into her views on just about everything.

The blog of my enraged photographer friend Lisa Tebbe. Watch as the world around her distorts to suit her sick and twisted needs.

Immerse yourself in all that is Dan. This is a hilarious site that you must check out, especially his blog. Beware however, as Dan's site contains this warning:

"Read at your own risk. I'm bound to offend and my occasional misanthropy is thinly veiled. If you're using Netscape, I hate you."

Be sure to check out the highly entertaining weblog of this San Fransiscan urbanite (is that really a word?).

Definitely not for the kiddies, her site will engross you and take you on a very personal journey of a hip young artist in todays harsh world.

Jenville is the official site for Jennifer Niederst Robbins, perhaps one of the internet's first stars. Both an accomplished designer and author, her pages are full of interesting things and glimpses of her life.

The site of John Gawler. John is a man of many hats, working in video production, web design and serving in the National Guard. He is actually a Blackboard reader, so check out his stuff.

Sarah Perez in an artist with a love for designing costumes. On her site, you can view her photography and drawings as well as her weblog which showcases her unusual costumes. Although her weblog isn't updated very frequently, it is always interesting.
