full of links. 
= The best
The links on this page were last tested January 11 2006, which is pretty pathetic, but my page tester doesn't work anymore. Be warned.

links are visual, kinetic, interactive, political,
entertaining and or art-related. Most
listings are from The Aesthetic Crisis Center, who wishes to
remain anonymous. The
AEC, who's been using that monicker for longer than some of the people
who use it now, started this page. It is being continued by the AEC and
many others. Anyone may contribute. We'll credit you, if you wish. I've
been adding a lot of links lately myself.

Hey JR, the internet scammers are still out there looking for easy money. The main method remains the same, counterfit cashiers check overpayment seeking a refund. The banks are nearly complicit with the crooks in that they do not identify fraudulent checks in a timely manner and two weeks is not enough time to insure the "payment" is good.
I've also been getting a lot of spam requests from bogus eBay/PayPal/Visa and Bank addresses saying there has been a new name added to your account and to please click the link provided to verify all of your account information. Info is never solicited by any of these business' via email, yet I'm sure there is someone out there who has clicked the link and given away all of their personal account info. @rt
anyway... here is a scamming the scammers page...
