Jason Dunda's Top Ten Websites 1. Superbad rocks! Text is at a minimum and the links loop around in a cartoon maze of Mao Tse Tungs, Charles Atlas bodybuilders, and a memo from some guy named Wayne L. Hubris. Email the hot dog and see what happens. Daily updates by a guy named Ben who, along with the funny stuff, includes some very personal expressions without being at all gooey. Kaleidoscopic and ever-changing. Go there or you suck. 2. Word departments include: "Gigo" (garbage in garbage out), "Work", "Pixel Time", and "Junk Radio", all of which have essays, short stories, articles, comix, and photo projects with an interactive bent. Funny, smart, well designed. Too bad you can't take it on the bus. 3. Atlas is a gorgeous site courtesy of Oliver Laude and Amy Franceschini. Five previous issues are archived. Current stuff includes a photo essay on subterranean machines in New York City, and a report on exhumation in Bali. 4. "New 10-10-911 Saves Emergency Victims up to 30 Percent," and "Slight Inconsistency Found in Bible" are just a few of the hilarious headlines that appear every week at The Onion. The biggest collection of smart asses online. 5. BRNR Labs is devoted to geek design thinly veiled as bold new web endeavours, including the Dropshadow Utilization League, which proclaims "There's no solution like the 'ol standby!" and offers downloadable stock dropshadow shapes in nine exciting styles. Beautifully kooky. 6. Since I found Connect-Time's Dumpster Diver I've emailed cans of Spam (the food, not email junk), rotten Jell-O moulds, busted lamps, and other pictures of actual junk recovered from actual dumpsters. Didn't even have to get my hands dirty. 7. The Abe Vigoda Home page. He played the gruff but lovable Fish on Barney Miller. Need I say more? 8. San Fran designer Patrick Broderick's Rotodesign gives away lots of treats - free fonts, the Rudy Ray Moore fan appreciation page complete with downloadable sound clips from the Blaxploitation classic Dolemite, and the completely stupid "Ask the Love Robot." Super cool. 9. Glassdog World Domination Headquarters makes the list largely because of "Overheard", a sectionfeaturing the best of brief, meaningless dialogues overheard by the site's visitors. I wish I'd thoughta that. 10. Jodi is a collaboration between Dutch designers Joan and Dirk that dances around your screen in jerky but beautiful rhythm. A bit of a one-trick pony, but I've never seen anything like it. Runners-up for other pop culture esoterica, online projects, weirdness and general cool shit: diacenter.org, mjt.org, amused.com, chick.com, subgenius.com, chbooks.com, spumco.com, snopes.com, thesmokinggun.com, giantrobot.com, and bmonster.com. 13. Lamest Exhibition Names 12. Art Brand Names 11. Disaaah-ster Movies 10. Things You Can Do To Make It Seem Like You Went To The Venice Biennale 09. Art Cliches 08. Things Dunda Wants For Xmas 07. School Supplies 06. Sneakers 05. Fizzy Drinks back to the top
