Since the early 1990s, I've been collecting and categorizing web sites I've found useful. When I published the first version of this web site all those years ago, that list was the focus of the site. Back then, everybody on the web seemed to have the same idea. Eventually, some people took the idea more seriously, and formed companies like Yahoo to commercialize their work. I've kept plugging along with my humble, eclectic list all these years, and I can't seem to stop collecting. I hope you find it useful, too.
