List
The Esoteric List is a browser home page presented by Esoteric Resources Incorporated for public consumption. Set your browser or your bookmark here and find some of the most unusual and eclectic Web Pages in existence - as well as some of the most useful and down to earth.
The Esoteric List is undergoing major revisions for many reasons, not all of which we are allowed to discuss.
Our list consists of:
Interesting pages we have produced or otherwise been involved with, such as:
The OFFICIAL First Night New York Pages
The FIRST NIGHT in Cyberspace ECHO Hotlist
Our first on-line brochure: all about NYC's premiere family-oriented cultural celebration, taking place every New Year's Eve since 1990...and...Our friends at ECHO did a bang-up job on a gopher to arts-oriented Web Sites for FIRST NIGHT in Cyberspace. We made it a clickable hotlist.
METROPOLIS...The Web Pages Of All New York
Long delayed, and only a shadow of its planned (and future) self, we finally premiere METROPOLIS, featuring New York City Transit Authority information obtained the old-fashioned way: we sent lepers to beg for it.
We have the complete texts of NYCTA handouts such as:
1995 Service Reduction Proposals / Notice of Public Hearings and Information on Service Proposals
Though the public hearings are over, subway riders should still pay attention to the probable cuts listed here.Schedules and Timetables
Hale House.
The people of Transit's 146th Street Bus Depot are raising funds and supplies for Hale House, a refuge for addicted babies. This brochure tells how you can help.
We will also have:
MetroCards and I.D. Cards:
A graphics-rich site with illustrations of common and collector's edition MetroCards, half-fare and employee cards, and information on how to (legally!) obtain those you might be interested in!
Museum and Historic Site Information
Ferry Information
Restaurant Information
Theater Information
For now, see how the "competition" does it.
Shopping Information
Little, hidden, musty esoteric shops, of course !
Web FEATS: Surf's Up On
the Cyber Sea
A classic newspaper article about the Web converted into a classic Web document, courtesy of The New York Press (where it originally appeared January 11,1995), editor John Strausbaugh, and artist David Baumundo.
The Poker Pages......featuring
The Authorized Web Pages for the 1995 World Series Of Poker at Binion's Horseshoe Club and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada (April 21 through May 18)
Meant to be viewed in multiple ways, this site contains the complete text and graphics of World Series Of Poker Magazine 1995. You can also plan your vacation dates (Sorry ! Wait till next year !), aim for last year's winners, or look at this year's results as they become available.
Is it cute? Is it oceanography? It's both - and it's not what you might expect!
Beta Test With The Best
Well, you could. But you're here, instead. So, just click on....no, we can't mention them. How about.....sorry, not those folks either. Well, when it becomes public, we'll mention it here. Otherwise....you know who you are and where it is.
Miss Pamela's Home For Orphan Web Pages, The Dollar Bill Serial Number Contest Clearinghouse, The Webclopaedia ... the most esoteric of The Esoteric ... coming very soon !!!
Yes, every jerk in cyberspace has a list. However, the lists below are those that are not made by jerks. This does, however, cause a self-referential paradox: if we become barbers, do we shave ourselves? No, that's not it.
There's the December list (by John December, really!)......in fact, he has reams of stuff!
Bob Allison's Spider's Web, complete with Pick Of The Day (and Past Picks). He also has a near-definitive set of Tips For Web Spinners and pages for regularly occuring goodies (including Cool Sites and Old Cool Sites) and a host of listings.
Yahoo lists almost everything worth listing (however, they have missed a few of ours). Look here first - or, at worst, second.
Scott Yanoff has another large list (in one, two, three parts) that includes gopher, telnet, and other non-HTML aspects of using the World Wide Web.
If you have a candidate for a comprehensive list, e-mail us.
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications may be the oldest and is probably the best.
Netscape redid all their pages, and their What's New? List. More interesting, less comprehensive. Fitting, since they've had a beer sponsoring them at times.
The ubiquitous Bob Allison has a page listing What's New? sources: lists, newsgroups, stool pigeons.
Yes, the raw, unadulterated, uncooked bookmarks out of the secret laboratories of Esoteric Resources Incorporated. Try #1, #2, #3 - just like the 5 of us, there's no rhyme or reason involved.
Esoteric Resources takes full responsibility for the content of these pages; if you have any comments, please mail us.
