Eric Online

Before leaving for 2 months in Malaysia, I gathered together some links so that I wouldn’t have to worry about posting to my blog while I was gone. I got one link for every day I’d be overseas. Since then, this list has been edited and updated as links die.
I’ve been around this internet a time or two, so I know a thing or two about what’s out there. I’ve organizied stuff I like (or thought was cool at the moment) into a category or two so that you can see the best stuff on the internet without having to sift through all the rest. Or two.

Let me know if you find any broken links.
