Keeping Ken

Sure, everyone loves Barbie, but what about Ken? How about giving Ken a little attention? Surely those exact words went through the mind of Jef Beck shortly before he created this huge shrine to Barbie's love slave. The site offers a multitude of photos of Kens past, present, and future, trivia about the doll, and links to a site where you can buy, sell, or trade Ken items. Move over, Barbie: Ken has finally come into his own.

The Dialectizer

Ever wondered what your favorite website would look like had it been created by a redneck? How about a Swedish chef? Better yet, Elmer Fudd? While I've never once pondered these questions, you may well have, and if that's the case then this site is for you. Just enter the URL of the website in question, choose from several different dialects, and click on the "Dialectize!" button. You're instantly - or not so instantly, depending on the current server load - transported to a version of your website in whatever dialect you've chosen.

The Justice League

As someone who has read a lot of comic books over the years, I've always been frustrated with television's inability to "get it right" when it comes to animated adaptations of comic heroes. Well, no more. The Cartoon Network's Justice League definitely "gets it right," and then some. And this website is the Internet companion site to the television series. The site offers an episode guide, bios on the heroes and villains, a message board, and much more. The site is easy to navigate and has a lot of good information on upcoming episodes and even showcases tie-ins such as toys and comics based on the series. If you're a fan of the JLA then this is definitely a must-visit site.

SPAG

Remember text adventures? Companies like Infocom produced tons of them, including such titles as Zork, Enchanter, and Deadline, in the 70's and 80's. SPAG (Society for the Promotion of Adventure Games) is an online magazine dedicated to the lost art of text adventuring. The magazine reviews old games as well as new games (yes, a small but talented group of folks out there are still making text adventures) and covers the annual Interactive Fiction - which is a fancy name for text adventures - competition. If the phrase "there's nothing but dust there" resonates somewhere deep in your soul, you'll enjoy this site!
