Anyone have any cool links that they are involved with that they wouldn't normally post at the Forge?
Yes!
Ridiculous as I feel posting this, the ExaltedWiki has a great collaborative fanfiction thing going; we have enough people that've had bad experiences doing fanfiction and know what to not do that it's going really well this time around. So check out Whirlwind Brush Method (http://www.lensmen.net/wiki/exalted.pl?WhirlwindBrushMethod)!

Here's an exquisite corpse I was involved in a few years back:
http://www.tekumel.com/vog05_02.html
negativegain.com
thirdwavecollective.com
saturationbombing.org
Interrobang Cartel (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/).
it's an "international Usenet punk band", which doesn't mean much (especially since none of the songs are punk rock at all.) but basically I and several other people take turns writing strange lyrics or recording someone else's lyrics into an even stranger song.
sometimes, the same lyrics get recorded with two different melodies. and, in a couple cases, someone proposed a song idea that was developed into two different sets of lyrics.
the favorites seem to be Chalice of Fire (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Chalice%20of%20Fire), The George Hammond Conspiracy (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=The%20George%20Hammond%20Conspiracy), and "Pumpkin, Mrs. Farnsworth" (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=%22Pumpkin,%20Mrs.%20Farnsworth%22); Casey B. in particular does some very professional-sounding popsongs, while Jacob Haller does excellent folksy song.
songs I was involved on (that were actually recorded) were Zoo Heaven (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/ZooHeaven.mp3), Young Human Body Transplant #13 (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Young%20Human%20Body%20Transplant%2013%20(Track%208)) (aka "track 8"), Walking Stick Making (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/WalkingStickMaking.mp3), Sausage Calories (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/sausage.mp3), Rewind (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Rewind) (an ode to the time-travel spammer,) Peroxide Piranha (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Peroxide%20Piranha), and Green Meat Sandwich (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Green%20Meat%20Sandwich). the links that go directly to MP3s are part of this list of songs from the 2008 tribute album (http://interrobang.jwgh.org/songs/index.php?song=Walking%20With%20Woodlice), which I recently went through and wrote a bunch of lyrics for. (the lyrics aren't up yet; they're still at our LiveJournal "staging area" (http://www.livejournal.com/community/interrocartel).)
quite a few other songs are waiting to be recorded.
billycook-singersongwriter.com (http://billycook-singersongwriter.com/)
This is the site I use to promote my activities as a singer/songwriter in the DFW area.
I'm not involved in this, but it is my current pick for coolest site on the Web:
http://dewey.library.upenn.edu/sceti/
It's part of the library at the University of Pennsylvania. It is the electronic facsimile version of their rare and antique book collection. Much droolage.
Rebecca Sean Borgstrom (author of Nobilis, Exalted, etc.)writes gorgeous prose on a daily basis in a kind of fiction-blog. It's mindblowing and there are subtle narrative threads that tie the whole thing together. Start your mornings right with Hitherby Dragons!

OK, I'm not involved with these guys, but if you're of a certain age and listened to rap, this is really wonderful. Skip "Black Riders" at first and try out their first two releases (2 and 3 on the 10-track realplayer download) instead. The references to the TV Hobbit Cartoon, Licensed to Ill, and Straight Outta Compton, among others, make this enjoyable in the extreme. Even if Esquire magazine voted them 'least likely to get laid'.

www.z-builder.com/manga/mugen - Fan site for Blade of the Immortal/Mugen no Jyuunin. Surprisingly high bandwidth.
www.j-rpg.com (going to update soon) A site that shows off various Japanese RPGs.
www.kneko.com (my wife's graphic design business- I help with coding, etc)
www.rpg-awards.com (The Indie RPG Awards!)
www.tenra-rpg.com ...Coming Soon! OooooOOOoOOOoh!
www.virtualgaijin.com - This will become a portal about various stories about life in Japan from me and my buddies.
www.wifedar.com - Coming Soon: A kind-of-joke site that looks like a Financial Consulting site, but it's about consulting Men about how to buy the things they want with the consent of their wives (ie "How to make your purchases slip under the 'Wifedar' "). Tongue in cheek, not serious at all.
www.rpg.net - My second home.

I have a new webpage (link below, or from my profile)
Most importantly, go to the "links" page, and follow the online comic links. In particular, "Sexy Losers" and "Tsunami Channel."
Nothing to do with RPG. Just funny.

There are parts of the internet that deal with things other than RPGs?
Who knew?
