Links
Links! Links, links and some more links, to all the sites you MUST visit and to some sites that are just plain fun or fancy or in other ways too amusing to avoid. I've divided the links into categories, so that you'll have it somewhat easier to navigate around this quite long and winding web page.
Look to the right for categories.
