Neil Gaiman again

Having almost finished "American Gods", a novel written by one of my favorite current authors, Neil Gaiman, I found this highly informative website

www.frowl.org

It lists all the gods in the book, giving a short summary for each of them and it also has photos taken inside the strange "House on the Rock" in which a key scene of the story takes place.

Did I mention that I'm getting tired of trying to find other Germans who even KNOW about Neil Gaiman, let alone share my appreciation of his work? I know exactly two (Hello Jens and Thilo) and that's it. Any others wanting to discuss him, please contact me by all means!

Random surfing

Ok, I did a little web-surfing this morning and found these rather funny and interesting websites:

The first one will take you to a random site on the Web, try it out you'll never know where you might end up

www.randomwebsite.com

The next one takes a rather different approach to reporting about celebities of all sorts, I'm not sure if I should call it "satirical" or not but the 'Hey, it's that guy" section certainly is

www.fametracker.com

Apparently Saddam Hussein gets a lot of e-mail these days, according to this Wired News article Wanna send him a computer virus? Don't bother, others already did it for you.

I found the link to the Saddam story on this website. It's a weblog but it's also featuring, among other things, robots that automatically generate rock music critique or texts bashing left/liberal personalities. Although obviously I don't like the latter the concept is rather funny and it all might be a satire anyway, judging from topics like advice on "America's New War" from a 'Col. Sam Trautman' -really a character from the 'Rambo'-movies.
