In no particular order:
Thoroughbred Champions. A good site with a little bit (or more) of everything about horse racing.
Keeneland, a race course in Lexington, Kentucky. A beautiful track. They have a section to explain racing to those unfamiliar with it.
Churchill Downs has a similar section.
Kentucky. The state government's homepage.
Mountains. State government information on state parks and nature preserves in the Cumberland Mountains in Southeastern Kentucky.
Old Louisville. The neighborhood I live in, full of huge old renovated Victorian houses.
A little article by John Dos Passos, something that is now part of the history of the area where I was born. This article is on the New Deal Network, an educational site about the history of the Depression and the New Deal. Somehow they just don't seem to get around to telling you about some of this stuff in school. The site has a lot of things that were commissioned by the government during the New Deal, so it's not limited to writing about the thirties.
And here I have to stop pretending to have linked to everything I've listed. Several sites are here just because I like them.
Angst. Information on the newsgroup alt.angst.
Best Viewed With Any Browser. Why it's a good idea to set up webpages so that any browser can be used to read them.
Lynx, Arachne, and Opera. Three of those other browsers.
A short article describing shell accounts, and my friend Robert's page about UNIX shell access.
ZMag. An online source of political and social news and commentary. Some of it is bullshit. Unfortunately, a whole lot of it isn't, and that doesn't stop it being ignored. The site layout is terrible, and that really doesn't help, but it's still worth looking.
Tom Paine, a website whose political direction should be obvious from the name, and AlterNet, a site with a similar direction. I think both sites use articles pulled from other publications.
The Progressive, another self-explanatory name, but this actually has a paper version.
IndyMedia. The name is self-explanatory. I would make no guarantees about its reliability.
Open Secrets. Is this really a media site? I don't know. Call it a highly specialized one, then; if you'd like to know who's buying your government and how much they're paying, this is an interesting site to browse. It may be out of date.
The ACLU, an organization that is usually admirable in its devotion to Constitutional rights. The website is especially good in that it has a page to locate and nag your congressperson by sending them faxed or email. Personally, I'd just as soon send faxes to the pigs in the local petting zoo, as they'd at least pay attention long enough to eat the paper and it would do as much good, but if you want to pretend to have any voice, there you go.
The Copyright FAQ. You might be surprised at how copyright really works, and in the U.S. it's changed a lot in the past twenty years or so. Someone has gone to the trouble of writing a relatively short and simple explanation of it. (As of April 27, 2000, this link hasn't worked. There's a promise to bring the content back but several months later it's still not there. I'm not deleting this section as I hope that some version will become available somewhere).
Ecola Newsstand is a fairly good directory of English-language media (newspapers, magazines, TV stations, etc) websites.
There's also the Marxists Internet Archive, with loads of political, philosophical, and anthropological writing. The reference section there includes on-line texts of all kinds of writers, not just Marxists.
Ferret Central. Everything you ever wanted to know about ferrets.
