    Electronic

    Al Jazeera
    Not your usual source—but possibly a more reliable one for events in the MidEast than some American sources. But it's first in this list only because the list is alphabetical. (7/04)
    CEO Express
    "Business portal for executives created by a CEO." Links to a huge variety of business publications and financial and general research tools. (10/01)
    C-Net: The Computer Network
    Electronic Telegraph
    The electronic version of the well-known British newspaper.
    I, Cringely
    Insightful and ascerbic editorials on current events in the computer technology department. Brought to you by PBS. (10/01)
    The IRAQ BODY COUNT Database
    This one is not a news source in its own right. It's a compilation of Iraqi civilian casualty counts from the international newswires. The American military doesn't like to report these figures. The numbers may be larger than you thought. (7/04)
    Nando Times
    Founded in 1994, it's one of the Web's first news magazines — and still going strong. You'll need to register, and you'll need to log in every time if you don't permit cookies. (2/03)
    Netsurfer Digest
    "More signal, less noise." It does what digests do. For the netsurfer. For US$20.00 per year, you can have it delivered by e-mail weekly. Or you can check into the site and browse the current selections and the archives. (7/04)
    SciTech Daily Review
    science, technology, future developments, innovations, implications
    ShagMail
    "Want some Fun & Amusements? Check here for the best FREE email newsletters on the net!" A collection of links to e-zines of all kinds. Some are quite zany. (1/02)
    Slashdot
    "News for Nerds. Stuff that matters." As much discussion group as news magazine, it's one of the leading distributors of information in the high-tech areas. (1/02)
    TBTF
    Tasty Bits from the Technology Front. "Bellwethers in computer and communications technology,with special attention to commerce on the Internet." Sign up for weekly e-mail digests if you feel so inclined. (12/02)
    The Urban Legend Magazine
    Another vehicle for thoroughly wacky and irreverent "reportage". Not to be confused with those sites that debunk urban legends. To the contrary, this site would probably love to be credited with having started some.  (10/01)
    Vancouver Today.com
    Local news, guides, and other resources.
    Wired News
    Technological news from Wired — probably the largest of the general-audience tech magazines.

    Print

    Canada.com
    Canadian news. Pick your local news too. (1/02)
    Canada Computes! Publications
    Publications page for Canada Computes. Gateway to The Computer Paper, Canada Computes, and several others. (10/01)
    Microsoft Cartoons
    Microsoft is the subject of these cartoons, not the author. These are editorial cartoons that have appeared in newspapers all over the country, so most of them are not exactly complimentary. Brought to you by Microsoft NetWork. Go figure. (12/02)
    National Geographic
    Current events, as well as what's in the magazine and on the TV program. (1/02)
    New Scientist
    "News, jobs and more from the leading weekly science magazine." Thoroughly readable articles on current thinking in scientific fields.
    The Oldie Magazine
    P.D. James describes it as "an indispensable antidote to the triviality of the 21st century." He might even be right. You can read some of the articles on the website. But bring your glasses — the text is set in the smallest font you can use in a Web browser. (1/02)
    The Onion
    There's no such thing as a sacred cow on this site. Everything is fair game for lampooning!
    The Paperboy
    Access to newspapers all over the world. Searchable on almost any basis: title, country, language... it's all there. (10/01)
    The Register
    "Get IT into your head." News in the information technology arena—with attitude. (7/04)
    Scientific American
    TimeWarner PathFinder: Favorite Places
    Provides access to current magazine articles
    User Friendly Cartoons
    A humorous look at the computer industry. If Dilbert used a computer, he'd end up here. For this one, it helps if you're a Linux geek. (10/01)
    Vancouver Courier
    It is published bi-weekly, but it's a good source of local news. (8/02)
    The Vancouver Sun/The Province
    Local and national news from BC's largest newspapers. Sometimes slow to load. (12/02)

    Movies

    Famous Players
    Nice site -- loads very quickly (8/02)
    Cineplex Odeon
    There may be some good info here. But it's not quick to load, so bring a bag lunch. (9/02)
    CinemaClock
    This is the one! Loads fast, easy to navigate, lists all movies available in the area of your choice, with show times and locations. And viewer reviews of the movies, too. Everything you could ask for — if you're a Canadian. You'll have to go elsewhere for American listings. (9/02)
    Columbia House Canada -- home page
    Music, videotapes, and DVD's (12/02)
