“This site collects and provides information on and for people working in (independent, alternative, anti/non-commercial, not for profit, artist-run and other) groups and/or running spaces. We hope to provide a broad continuum of art, activism and indy work. It is as much a place for those concerned solely with aesthetics as it is for those working politically. This site includes everything in between.”

“The wildly creative genius often walks a fine line, as many of humankind’s greatest minds have edged into the darkness of mental illness. Now a new study shows that creative people tend to share more personality traits with the mentally ill than they do with the middle-of-the-road masses.”

“What could be the oldest lifelike drawings of human faces have been uncovered in a cave in southern France. The images were first recognised over 50 years ago, but were then lost after doubts were cast on their authenticity.”

“A searchable directory of glossaries and topical dictionaries… Looking for the definition of a term in a particular subject can be difficult and time consuming. That’s where the Glossarist can help you look. Just choose a subject or search for the industry you are interested in at the top. Language and communication is a fascinating subject, and a never-ending field of study for us all. Some people think that only academicians are involved in linguistics, or the study of languages, but in fact we all are.”

“What is this website? It’s a collection of team logos of mostly minor league, semi-pro, and obscure teams from a variety of sports. We dig as deep and try to be as comprehensive as possible (although here you won’t find teams from the major sports leagues other than some historical logos).”

“A unique catalog of movies on video…specifically, screen captures of movie title screens! What good is it? Whatever use you put it to. Browse and admire title and logo designs, check out the differences in multiple releases of the same title (see Aliens or Invasion of the Body Snatchers for a good example), check to see just how ‘wide’ is the widescreen (width/height=aspect ratio…and does it match the sleeve description?).” Currently 1665 titles are available.
