Welcome!
Here you will find sites that I recommend because they're
interesting, informative or fun.
Here are my current recommendations, listed in no particular order....
![[Flag Campaign icon]](http://a1032.g.akamai.net/f/1032/81/30m/www.gamesville.lycos.com/art_gv/ribbon_small.gif){kind=small} Support freedom |
Many of our fellow Americans have had difficulty coping with the events of September 11th. "What can I do? I'm just one person." Mercy BANDs (Bearing Another's Name Daily) are Sterling Silver cuff bands (similar to Vietnam War Veteran bands) engraved with an individual victim's name. They serve as a living memorial and a symbol of hope. I wear one of these bracelets myself. MercyBand.org is a non-profit organization. |
| The Hunger Site is BACK!!!!!! Great news!!! The Hunger Site and the Breast Cancer Site have re-emerged under new ownership, and operate with free clicks just as before. Stop by and donate today!
|
|||||
| FreeDonation.com FreeDonation.com operates on the same principle as
The Hunger Site. This site benefits several very worthy
charities, including world hunger, cancer and A.I.D.S.
research, education, rainforest preservation, and
children's charities. Please stop by now!

The Lost 45s with Barry Scott The Lost 45s with Barry Scott features Top 40 records from the 60s, 70s and 80s that no longer receive airplay. The show was on radio in the U.S. for 19 years, in syndication for 6 and is now heard on the web. The Lost 45s features America's largest record library, as well as the largest library of interviews and sound clips found anywhere. Barry Scott has released a best selling book and a CD series based on the program and has appeared on VH-1's "Behind The Music." |
The Tiananmen Mothers Campaign I'm sure you
agree that we should all have the right to express our
opinions openly, without fear of recrimination at the
hands of our government. During peaceful demonstrations
at Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989, millions of Chinese
people got their first taste of political freedom, and a
hope that they could have a say in their nation's public
life. As we all know, that freedom was cut tragically
short. It is the dream
of one student that he will be able to put a bouquet of 6
white roses (June, sixth month of the year) and 4 red
roses (4th) on Tiananmen Square to mourn for those who
have lost their lives in the bloodshed. |

free stuff, games and much more. It's operated by Bob
Drudge, whose son, Matt (The Drudge Report), you may be somewhat familiar with!

Bartleby.com Great Books Online
While we're on the
subject of online reference, Bartleby.com
Great Books Online is a fantastic
resource, especially for students. We're talking the Complete
Works of William Shakespeare and Bartlett's
Familiar Quotations online, in their entirety!!
You won't believe this. Check it out!
| The
Star Trek Continuum As you all probably know, I'm a BIG Star Trek nut, so here's a plug! Stop by for all the latest
news about the next Star Trek movie and |
|
And
Now For Something REALLY Stupid.... Dancing is Futile. It's silly. It's annoying. It's irrelevant. Check it out anyway. |
| My Rick
Springfield Tribute Page! As you all probably know, I'm also a BIG
Rick Springfield fan, so here's a link to my tribute page to |
|
 |
And While
We're On The Subject Of "EFX Masters" (Present
and Past!)... I've
recently learned that David Cassidy has a REALLY nice website; complete with news, nostalgia,
current tour information, and links to other Cassidy
family sites (including fan sites for his brothers Shaun
and Patrick). |
AskMe.com
AskMe.com is a different kind of search engine. Your
questions are answered by real human beings, experts in
their fields. For example, ask a question about, say, the best
way to prepare creme brulee`, and a chef will answer!
Pretty cool, huh?
The Urban Legends and Folklore Homepage, The Urban Legends Combat Kit, and The Hoaxkill Service
"This is urgent!!
You must forward this e-mail to absolutely EVERYONE you know!!
You'll get money, and trips, and free clothing from Rodeo Drive
in Beverly Hills if only you'll keep forwarding this message!
If you don't forward this, you'll have bad luck for the next 40-leven
years! You'll get a virus that will not only wipe out your hard
drive, but it will erase all your home videos, break all your
good china, and change the color of your house to neon orange!
Forward this message and save a little girl who's dying from some
weird disease you've never heard of!!
I know this is for real because I received it from my
gynecologist, and he doesn't send me junk...."
Ok, so I went a little over the top with that last line, but
doesn't this sound familiar? I'm sure we all have received these
"Forward this to everyone you know" e-mails.
I hate them. They are 99.9999% junk!!
I've found several web sites aimed at debunking these annoying
net hoaxes and chain letters. The best ones are The Urban Legends & Folklore Homepage, The Hoaxkill Service, and The Urban Legends Combat Kit. These sites provide excellent hoax
information and effective tools for responding when you receive
one of these e-mail irritants.
Don't fall for these hoaxes! They're a waste of time and
bandwidth!
Check these sites out today!
WBOC.Com
I work here. Lots of nifty doo-dads on the company website, such as Live Video Cameras. Do stop by, won't you?

In Tribute In memory of the late Charles "Sparky" Schulz ("Peanuts"), I'm posting a link to The National D-Day Memorial Foundation. Please stop by and consider making a donation in memory of Mr. Schulz (or any other WWII veteran). It's a good cause. |
| The National
World War II Memorial Perhaps you've seen the television
ads featuring actor Tom Hanks ("Saving Private Ryan"),
encouraging viewers to donate toward a national monument
honoring the sacrifice of all those who served during
World War II. The National World War II Memorial Fund still needs your help. |

Stay tuned! More links
to come!
