Some good ways to kill some time on-line

The Austin Chronicle - An indie newspaper from Austin, Texas, the home of live music and SXSW.

Austin City Limits - A TV show so good it should have been cancelled years ago.

Conrad Bain - Of course, no web site worth its html code is complete with some mention of Conrad Bain.
