For News and Views, i find the Guardian Website the best by far, as it is very leftwing, honest, and is very very good for keeping uptodate with information
I have been working on my digital Art, and have been attempting to put together a collection of work, and in that task, i have found photobox to be an amazing aid. Basically you upload your digital print, they can print it in any size, on almost any media, including wood, lino, metal, and frames, and canvas. There catalgue of projects is amazing, i really cannot explain it here.
This site is awsome for getting hold of sci-fi podcasts/Audio dramas, from Logunsrun to metropolis
This is an eextremely cool site if you are a fan of stargate, or allo allo, futureama, anime, games etc. This site has whole seasons of these things, free games, and a lot more, it is awsome, and i spend a lot of time watching episodes online. It is great. If you fancy, check it out.
i suggest you look at madnotbad, a wonderful site ran by Rachel Studley, herself a survivor of mental health distress, a terrific inspiration, who runs a website featuring prose and poetry, digital and other art, by other service users, she also has an opinion section and much much more. the forum part of the site is a great place to discuss support needs, creativity in the creativity corner andmuch much more. i cant really do the place justice in these few words but i reccomend it highly. if you like the sound of this wonderful and safe haven from the world, just follow this link:

This one is purely because it made me smile. you see, i am a huge tom cruise fan, being bisexual/Gay (nver quite sure which heading i come under) i quite simply fancy the pants off him, and swoon whenever i see photos of the man. he is a big hunk of hunkiness, and this site pokes gentle fun at him, pointing out his odder behaviour, and where he is at. as a Tom cruise fan, far from finding this place offensive, it has me in fits of giggles, and confirms my faith in the Cruister... i love eccentricity, and Tom Cruise has it in spades. Long Live Tom, Tom for President! go on, take a gander:

this next site is amazingly clever. a mix of sci-fi elements, rewriting the matrix trilogy and shaping it into two videos that aim to show the truth about meat farms and how by buying and eating meat bought from supermarkets we are purpetuating and absive system that takes away animal rights. it isnt saying everyone should be a vegetarian, just source where you buy your meat from a little more carefully, make sure its free range and ethically produced.... though if you can become a vegetarian, then bonus. but this site is funny which is the main thing also. its got great grpahics, the videos mock the matrix so well, i was grinning from ear to ear. just watch the videos first, and see what you think. i think its fan-bloody-tstic.

I appologise for the lack of Linkage here, but this is a very new site, and as such i havnt forged many links as yet, but rest assured over the next few weeks this page and the rest of the site will be getting an extensive overhall, becoming more stramlined, easier to naviagte, more graphically stimulating and much more. watch this space.Let me take this oppurtunity to once again thankyou for your visit hear, as it vindicates the hard work it takes to do this, whilst batling mental illness, editorial deadlines, monday mornings and several ungry kittens who have taken to wakeing me at 3am. Anyway, thanks for your visit, im done, were finsished for this session,ok, thats me done, im outta here...
cheers, Adam Pick
