I didn’t come up with anything really creative to write about today. I was going to post an old essay that I wrote, but then I was reminded that I don’t have too many of them left (5), and I figured I should probably save them for rainier days.

So instead, we’re starting a semi-regular feature here at mikeschramm.com, in which we’ll feature links that you’ll certainly enjoy.

That’s right, “certainly.” And it’s called:

Of course, you can always find new links daily over on the miniblog, but those are usually one-off links, jokes or features or pictures, whatever. These are all sites that I’ve been visiting regularly, and I’m sure you’ll enjoy them as much as I have. Someday, being featured will be a big reward, and webmasters everywhere will work day and night to make their site good enough for a mikeschramm.com Link Roundup! reference. Until then, your job is to click on these links as much as possible, so these sites will take notice of this wonderful site, and maybe even link back here. It’s like one big promotional orgy! And you’re invited!

You may also notice that a few of these are already on the about page. But that is fine, because this is the first Link Roundup! Later editions will have newer links.

-Linkbunnies is what a collaborative blog should be like. Simple, to the point, and an interesting combination of multiple viewpoints. Plus, they’re English, so points in my book.

-Speaking of English, UK Resistance is a hilarious site about videogaming. They have a sense of sarcasm drier than a Bond martini, and they love the Dreamcast!

-Daily Dinosaur Comics saved money by just using the same dinosaur panel art and writing new dialogue for every daily comic. If everyone read this page before they left the house in the morning, the world would be 2.5% happier.

-Haiku Circus would only make everyone 1.5% happier, but they would also make everyone 3.2% smarter, because the dialogue of every comic constitutes a haiku poem.

-You already know them from such authors as me, but Girls With Insurance was nice enough to link to mikeschramm.com, and so the least you could do is go visit their site.

-Also, mikeschramm.com has also been reading Uber (I can’t do the umlaut), and hopes to submit something there soon. Very soon. Like next week.

-And finally, I’ve been reading the new Mediabistro freelance writing blog MBToolbox, mostly because it is run by the inimitable (and awesome) Claire Zulkey.

-Also, just in case you didn’t know, Abbie the Cat Has a Posse. I want one!
