E-Zine of technology and culture. "At alarm:clock digital we're excited by the many questions the Internet raises. Technology's business implications have been chronicled with giddy exhilaration, but the rise of technology as a cultural phenomenon has gone largely unexamined. We believe the Internet is about more than shrinking profit margins and business-to-business exchanges."

Boing Boing: A Directory of Wonderful Things
http://boingboing.net/

"It's a print zine started in 1988 by Mark Frauenfelder (mark@well.com) and Carla Sinclair (carla@well.com). Gareth Branwyn (gareth@well.com) joined as senior editor a year or so later. The first couple of issues were mainly about cyberpunk, virtual reality, smart drugs, chaos theory and that kind of stuff, but we quickly started covering anything that interested us -- pranks, zines, weirdoes, cool people, comics, DIY, subcultures all over the planet, sex, movies, true-life experiences, and design."

CH Working Papers
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/epc/chwp/

"CH Working Papers (or Computing in the Humanities Working Papers) are an interdisciplinary series of refereed publications on computer-assisted research. They are a vehicle for an intermediary stage at which questions of computer methodology in relation to the corpus at hand are of interest to the scholar before the computer disappears into the background. The series is successor to the print publication CCH Working Papers and was for a brief time named TCH Working Papers (ISSN 1204-038X). CHWP includes the following categories of publication: articles appearing for the first time; postprints, articles that were originally published in print form; preprints, articles that have been accepted for publication by print journals and that will either be withdrawn when published in print or become postprints; essays on the epistemology and sociology of computer-assisted research relevant to computing in the humanities; non-refereed experimental papers that exploit those properties of the electronic medium that are significantly different from the properties of print." The site and article abstracts are in English and French while the articles themselves can be in any language.
