Grover is Bitter: some fan fiction purporting to show the dark side of Grover. {via}

Google Command Line: interesting idea. Hate frames. Firefox’s keywords do this. People hate command lines. Moving on.

Wrong Answers: “dedicated to proof of the proper role of the World Wide Web in research.” That’s all I can get from the site since the guy used an Access database to store all his dynamic content and isn’t comfortable with ASP. Might be good, if it’s fixed.

My Crazy Hobby: guy collects traffic signs by buying them off eBay or through municipalities. Ooo, he’s insane!
