Hand-Selected Hyperlinks

5 January 2009 | Category: Internet

It's been several days since my last post, so I thought I'd better put something up tonight if I mean to keep my two-posts-a-week promise through January. Remember the post where I made that promise? If you let your mind meander back, you'll recall that in the midst of promising, I expressed my disdain for blogs that update so constantly as to be no more than a stream of unthinking mush. It was mainly the unthinking mush component that chafes me, by the way, as I've no qualms with constant excellence.

Anyway, I fear that in saying what I did, I may have come across as implying that Acceity here is somehow snobbishly better than all the rest of the web. And Acceity is snobbish, there's no doubt—this has always been the kind of blog that, if blogs had nostrils, would turn its own up slightly but markedly, trying to fit with polite society by rudely dismissing the sordid masses. Acceity is not, however, the sort of blog with a Napoleonic urge to prove its supremacy by conquering Europe and beyond, and in that way, this blog is really less lofty than most Risk players.

What I mean to say by this is that, while I hope you enjoy Acceity, there are many websites out there with fabulous quality offerings far in excess of those here. Looking to acknowledge these fine sites, I've been compiling a list of my personal favorites on the aptly (and I daresay ingeniously) named links page. I recommend you go there to check some out for yourself. Naturally, the only websites listed are those hand-selected from the Internet's greenest pastures, and they're sites I've actually been visiting frequently myself. You'll find them original, informative, entertaining, and slightly quirky—best yet, many of them are rather local. Below are some highlights:

Wisconsinology

What makes Wisconsin Wisconsin? Apart, that is, from our peculiarly mitten-like geographical shape, a feature that'd be suitable for our climate but for the fact that, depending on lake detail on your map, it's rather riddled with holes? The answers are at Wisconsinology, a blog that delves into the state's history, heritage, and lore to isolate the distinctiveness of Wisconsin culture.

Letters from Here

This blog by "Madison Guy" features great photos from the state capital coupled with interesting and often quite amusing writing on all manner of subjects.

Eating La Crosse

I'm not sure why anyone would want to eat La Crosse, the town where I go to school. It's often rather grimy there. Apparently, though, this blogger is going to try to do just...wait, no, no, it's a blog about Eating in La Crosse! Restaurants and such. That's far more useful, really.
