Every November, thousands of writers put pen to paper with one goal in mind: write 50,000 words between November 1st and November 30th. Insane, exhilarating, frustrating, I've done Nano three times and won twice.
Best name generator I've found on the internet, and I've looked at a lot of them. This generator gives you names basically pulled out of the phonebook, which results in realistic names with a huge variety. You can even change the setting to request more common or more obscure names.

AKA "the Reflex comic". Another Everquest-based comic that I greatly enjoy. Unfortunately, it's seldom updated but that may be changing soon. This is the kind of art style I always aspired to for my own work.
Visibone's web-safe color palette has been very useful to me throughout the years, but the color lab is something else altogether.

This website and Elizabeth Castro's HTML For The World Wide Web were my constant companions while I created this site. Not only are they both solid learning tools, but excellent and convenient references to have on hand.
One man's search for a way to keep his kitty from biting. The Mean Kitty Song is a pretty good rundown of the situation. The artist's site is at http://www.smpfilms.com
