The problem with links pages is that sometimes, the webmistress/master forgets to check them regularly and then newbies are stuck clicking on either dead links or they find themselves on sites that haven't been updated in eons.
I know of what I speak because I've run into many such links pages during my intrepid net surfing escapades. >_< So I am now whittling down my links page because several of the ones I had up here were a bit outdated. If you were one of the folk whose page I deleted, please don't take offense. Just drop me a line and let me know that your site is back up and active and I'll be happy to put it back on.
it's all about kaiki - How could I have gone so long without posting this link here? Kaiki is my goddess! My guru! My saviour in all things web-related! She inspired me (unbeknownst to her, poor thing!) to get my master's degree in education with emphasis on web design and technology. And she's whacko-insane funny, yo! Plus her site is pretty, pretty blue! ^_~ You'd be a fraggin' idiot not to check out her little corner of the web...
Breakfast Bagels - A paean to the Buffster, this site is elegant and erudite and eclectic, and it's run by one of my fave people: bagel. I'd been seriously lax in putting her link up because I'd gone through a Buffy hiatus for a while, but now I attempt to repent my transgressions with this shameless plug: go to her site! Go now! She has the cleanest, sparsest layout I've seen yet (and that's a compliment coming from me!) Even if you're not a Buffy fan, it's still worth a look.
hanami gumi - I debated and pondered and debated some more and ended up deciding to put this here, under "Friends". Because Rence is my friend and rightfully belongs here, although a case can be stated for putting her under "Anime" as well. This gorgeous site is Rence's contribution to the anime community - a community which I've grown to know and love. Hers is also the most comprehensive site I've visited that truly covers everything anime: from reviews of manga and anime to tutorials on IRC channels where she can be found welcoming baka like me with open arms. I *love* this site. What are you still doing here? Go visit Rence now!!! And tell her Keelan sent ya!
the can of ice - A breath-taking site by one of my ex-students. She's amazing, engaging, and chock-full of Harvard witticisms and observations. Plus, she's got an enviable layout which I tried vainly to bite off and failed miserably since I don't have Photoshop. Go here and be stupefied!
Anime Meta Review - To be frank, this is the site I go to first when I need to research anime. Carnage has all the pictures but loads slower. Meta Review and the wonderful man who runs it (heyla, Andrew!) has simpler format but updates faster. Plus, Andrew has a goal I can admire and emulate: to watch *every* anime out there ever made! Yatta! Not only that, Meta Review usually reviews obscure anime - first heard about Saiyuki here - before anyone else does. So I recommend Meta for quick fixes and have another screen open to Carnage to check out pictures. Now go read more about anime!
