I don't know if you remember the bad old pre-Google days of the internet, but when search engines sucked the best way to find interesting pages was often finding one, by luck, then following their "recommended links" to other sites and so on. Lots of sites were just collections of links in some category - something you find less and less, now that Google can generate a pretty good links on any topic you can think of.

I, however, miss the good old days, so I'm going to put a page of annotated links right here on my site. I'll try to add to it regularly, so think of this as a work in progress. Enjoy!
