Just for fun sites
- Joel Spolsky's site - he is one of the most interesting writers on software I (Mike) have come across: always intelligent (even when I don't agree with him) and often with a highly individual take on things. His entire back-output is archived on the site and you can sign up for e-mail notification as he publishes new articles.
- Dilbert - well obviously
- User Friendly - laughs for geeks
- Wiki Index and our entry on it: DataFlex Wiki (feel free to expand our profile there!)
