Recommend one website

[Phil_Stein]

Today's exercise:

Recommend one single website of general interest that most here probably aren't aware of, but would appreciate.

My pick:

www.thesportseconomist.com

For any sports fan out there. A very perceptive economist's blog on all things sports. Not just money analysis (though that's part of it), but seeing the sports world through the measurements and insights of an economist.

I always like to pimp my favorite site on the internet, Home of the Underdogs:

[John Many Jars]

Black Ships and Samurai, a virtual exhibit of art representing the "opening" of isolationist, feudal Japan by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853. Best is the "Black Ship Scroll," a 30-foot continuous series of drawings that you can scroll (yuk yuk) through from beginning to end.

Can I plug my own site?

Zombo.Com scares me :)

Welcome to Zombo Com!

I really wish I had posted that. Now I'm back to not being able to think of one.

Well, I guess I'll go with:

Here's a real one:

http://www.trixieupdate.com/

For you parents of young ones. Of particular interest is the "Trixie Telementry" which keeps track of the kid's various metrics, like sleep, number of diapers, number of bottles, etc. It's actually really impressive.

The unatainable is unknown at Zombo Com!

I don't know if anyone's already seen this, but worth a try if not. :) Make sure you hit all the links until you at least "Drum Machine."

BTW, you used to be able to type in idiot.com and go to a site that had a wav that said, "You are an IDIOT! Ha, ha ha, ha ha ha ha, ha ha, ha ha haaaa!" Doesn't seem to be like that anymore, anyone know where that went?

You can find out what's playing on all of the stations on Sirius Radio. You're also able to search for particular artists and songs to see when they're played in the past.

Cool pictures, with cool explanations.

[Jim Preston]

The Nintendo section of "I Love '80s Tees" (http://www.80stees.com/pages/t-shirts/totally-80s-t-shirts/Nintendo_t-shirts.asp)

[spence]

The official Ninja Webpage:
http://www.realultimatepower.net

The "pump up" and "pump up 2" sections are good stuff.

Best tip: Do not burn and then inhale the smoke from burning poison ivy. This is a VERY bad idea.

Download the Conet Project Recordings (http://www.archive.org/audio/audio-details-db.php?collection=irdial&collectionid=ird059), recordings of shortwave radio tramsmissions used to send one time pad keys to spies. Probably. I mean it's not like they interviewed some spies.

Check 'em out (individual file downloads are below the description). Use them as background noise while you work or pretend that you're a super agent who works for the CIA, MI6, and Mossad. You might even meet Jennifer Garner or that guy from The Lost Boys!

Hell, if anyone deserves a little pimping, it's Vincent Marcone!

and

Texas holdem outs and odds, actual literature to read when you're bored at work and the archives of CZG magazine.

There is no way that site is the best bookmark on your list.

This one's for my fan club over at Octopus Overlords...

Visual Thesaurus (http://www.visualthesaurus.com). There is nothing cooler than surfing a beautiful web of words trying to find the perfect adjective. For a demo, go to the site and just enter "red" in the search box at the top, then see if you can figure out how to surf down to efflorescence. Unfortunately, it's switched over to a subscriber model, but you can do a number of free searches. It's worth looking at just for coolness factor.

A friend sent me this link recently:

http://www.clientcopia.com

It's a site devoted to recording those moments where a techie just has to grin and bear it when faced with overwhelming stupidity.

Anyone here with high blood pressure should probably skip this one. :wink:

Good for some laughs. Although all the statements are untrue.
