Finding Stuff

Sometimes the internet provides a ton of stuff. I love just looking around for my little eccentric hobbies and finding stuff!

I love old comics. I love He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. I absolutely loved those figures as a kid. I remember running home from the bus to watch the old cartoon. I collected the figures and had a bunch of ‘em. I would love to collect them all again, and can on eBay. Maybe when I get a nice trophy case to showcase them. Anyway, I found a website that scanned all those old comics that used to be included with the action figures.

I think The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger changed my life when I read it the first time. Somebody else didn’t know what they were going to do with his life either. Unfortunately, he is now a recluse (if he isn’t dead) and won’t collect his short stories published in magazines back in the 40s and 50s. I found a website that collected them. Actually, originally I found them on a Salinger Yahoo group but then I also found them here at http://www.freeweb.hu/tchl/salinger/
This is contraband—you shouldn’t have these stories. But if the bastard won’t publish them, what are we supposed to do about it?

I love Penn and Teller’s Bullshit! show on Showtime. I found some old articles written by Penn at this website: http://www.pennandteller.com/sincity/penn-n-teller/pcc.html
I love old comics. Have I said that already? I found a website that has some really cool old ones, the ones that make science fiction and horror (and even some old romance comic books) fun. I found those here: http://www.sciencemonster.net/print/print.html Slow downloads though.

Speaking of science fiction, the future of sci-fi is cyberpunk. I found a cool collection of cyberpunk short stories here: http://project.cyberpunk.ru/lib/

More bad sci-fi novels can be found for free at the Baen free library. These are actual books and you can find them at the big book stores. http://www.baen.com/library/

I found old articles from Omni magazine here at http://www.findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1430 If you never read Omni magazine in the 80s or early 90s, you missed out on some weird science fact articles, UFO stuff to laugh at, and some great science fiction.

I just find it amazing what’s online if you really look. I didn’t even write in all the comics and books I found at http://www.projectw.org
