Favorite Websites

Forthwith, then, my favorites list:

• Trivial Net is one of my favorite hangouts, and as developer of the site, well, I have a vested interest in online fun.

• Assuming you're not rabidly anti-establishment, you'll undoubtedly find that FedWorld is a great place to find information on the Federal Government.

• Another favorite is The Internet Scout, originally created by the talented Gleason Sackman. Good stuff!

• Internet Frequently Asked Questions, or FAQs, are also of great value, and they're accessible at the FAQ Web Repository thanks to a remarkable British Web site that's well worth visiting.

• Too many people, too few parks and wildlife spots for animals. But you can help - check out the Endangered Species web site today.

• Looking for a pet? If you haven't decided on wicked fun standard poodles - like we did - you should check out The Electronic Zoo. It's amazing and you can finally learn all about the pros and cons of having a ferret, too.

• I'm a Macintosh fan and you are too, you'll be kicking yourself for all those months you didn't know about MacFixIt, ably run by my friend and fellow Mac enthusiast Ted Landau.

• If, like me, you're a movie enthusiast, then you'll most assuredly want to know about the fabulous Internet Movie Database, one of the best sites online!

• In addition to movies, I'm fascinated by our history as a people and read a lot of history books. I'm also a big fan of the History Channel on TV and particularly like their Today in History area.

• I admit it, I'm a 'boomer' (I was born in '62) so I have very fond memories of Thunderbirds! and was delighted when I stumbled across this web site.

• And in the same vein, The Official Tintin Site is another place to spend lots of time online.

• A couple of oddities: curious about why things are the way they are? Check out The Straight Dope from Cecil Adams and News of the Weird from Chuck Shepard.

• Many of my friends and colleagues are online too:
  • Programmer and photographer James Armstrong.
  • Online social butterfly Marvin Raab
  • Self-taught Internet expert and prolific writer Kevin Savetz who has done tons of great stuff, the best of which might well be his 75 Years of Band-Aid spot.
  • 'Zine master Christian Crumlish with his wicked-cool EnterZone and the cool upcoming CoffeeHouse collection of online prose.
  • My bud Rick Tracewell is doing lots of fabulous stuff on the Web, and you can't miss the official Oakland Raiders web site that his firm runs, and the delightful Hardy Har Har!.
