I was saddened to hear about Winchell's cancer diagnosis last year[1]. I've wasted a ton of time there too, it's an oddity compared to the rest of the modern internet. I know very few other useful sites like it, and I love it all the more for its strange aesthetic.

I don't agree with everything there either, but usually it's only very minor gripes. In this case though, it's hard to argue with the reality of the rocket equation.

Oh man, I hadn't heard about that. Best of luck to him but he's right prostate cancer is a pretty bad one.

What are the other few sites you do know of?

And you are absolutely right about the rocket equation. You can't really get around it.


I'm sure there's more but the first few that come to mind are Greg Egan's homepage[1], Xenology[2], and on a completely different topic "Gramadach na Gaeilge"[3] (Irish Grammar).

It's too late to edit, but the link to xenology should be http and not https:
