Blogs

•  Project Polymath

Frequently updated blog with useful and detailed information on a number of topics in science, computers, philosophy, entrepreneurship, and culture. Part of a project dedicated to teaching the art of cultivating oneself as a polymath.

**This is not to be confused with Polymath Projects, a blog about topics in collaborative mathematics research.

• West of Middle

An insider’s account on life in urban and rural China written by former classmate and fellow IMUSE director Evan Kornbluh.

• Dating in Korea

Entertaining and informative accounts by American girl about the Seoul dating scene.

Art

Thorough and well organized collection of FF concept art from the greats: Tetsuya Nomura, Akhiko Yoshida, and, of course, Yoshitaka Amano.

• Guitfiddle

Absolutely stunning sci-fi landscapes and scenes worth remembering and getting lost in.

• Lushenwu.com

Emotionally captivating drawings, watercolors, and photography by former classmate and fellow IMUSE design department collaborator Lushen Wu.

Webcomics

• XKCD 

Simultaneously enough humor to be entertaining and enough math, science, and philosophy to keep you from feeling too guilty about spending half an hour reading it.

• VGCats

For the unshowered, Cheeto-fingered weekend gamer in all of us.

• …speaking of Cheetos, Penny Arcade 

VGCats minus the cats. More computer-game than console-game oriented than the former.

• Legendary Frog

Not a webcomic but a gallery of (super old-school) Flash animations. I laughed over them repeatedly in high school. I highly recommend starting with this one. You will probably find them boring and incomprehensible if you’re younger than twenty.
