  • xkcd: Read this if you are a geek.
  • PhD: Read this if you are in grad school.
  • The Onion


Law

  • Above The Law: The raw, uncensored world of law from the junior associate's point of view. While a bit coarse (and even caustic), aspiring and current law students should be familiar with the life ahead.
  • EFF: The folks who try and keep the Internet free for mischief.
  • Groklaw: Follows SCO's various Linux cases, with some healthy pro-OSS inclinations.

  • Patently O: A good patents blog.


UCSD

These links are special resources for users on the UCSD network. Users have to set up a web proxy if off-campus.

  • Web Proxy: Instructions for setting up the UCSD web proxy.
  • LexisNexis: Legal research. Very useful because prices in the private sector are quite substantial.
  • O'Reilly Safari: Many O'Reilly technical books in an online format.
