External Links that I keep Adding from Time to Time...
Google -My fave search engine as of late. It turns up results to the most obscure things, accurate and relevant results no less!
AltaVista (altavista.digital.com) -This is a good search engine that comes up with a decent number of "hits" and also fairly relevant sites. It is one of my top picks as a search engine, and one that I recommend.
Tf1 (tf1.fr) -This site is a France-based search engine. It is one of the best I've found, and most compatable with US based web language and programing translation technology. (Certain languages, JAVA vs JAVA1 are translatable, but not entirely compatable.) It also includes many livecams, both France-based, and Global
Nomade (nomade.fr) -Another France-based engine, good, although some of the coding is not entirely compatable with US OSs (MAC, ou PC/WIN).
Pariscope (pariscope.fr) -Located in France, not really a search engine, but more a means of keeping up to date with pop-culture: movies, the theatre, music and more. If you want to know what's going on in France, stop here.
The Encyclopedia Britannica Search engine (ebig.com) -This engine gives you the most accurate results anywhere on the web. It is especially useful for research or when quality, not quantity is the main objective.
Dogpile (dogpile.com) -Unrivaled in search capacity, Dogpile searches several search engines to deliver the largest amount of hits possible.
Yahoo (yahoo.com) -This is a good basic search engine with reliable results and fairly relevant results. Yahoo is a classic engine for general search purposes. And it's e-mail is least likely to be problematic.
AltaVista E-mail (altavista.iname.com) -For people who want their own free e-mail. You can chose your domain, but sometimes it does not always funtion as expected. Often down for upgrades. Powered by Mail.com.
Everything2.com -Anything you want to find is here. It is a user-created encyclopedia that is one of the most complete places for randome usefull stuff I have found.
ThinkGeek.Com -Toys, gadgits, computers, tee-shirts, and coffee-related essentials. Even if you don't shop, it gives one ideas *big grin*
The Dilbert Zone -See the comic strip of the day, learn about your favorite Dilbert characters, play games, become a member of DNRC: Dogbert's New Ruling Class, and ever so much more. For all your Dilbert needs!!!
"Only Human" -My favorite fan fiction, other Star Trek fan-fics and tales about Q are only a click away with this site. Alternate links that take you to the same story but via other libraries are here and here.
The FoxTrot Website -An introduction to FoxTrot: think a comic strip with a family of five. I like it because it's got a timeless feel to it. It doesn't rely on wise-cracking animals or the like to be funny. The more you read, the better you like it. I give it all thumbs I have up.
The Lego Homepage -I have yet to encounter anyone who has ever laughed at my lego collection. I was particularly surprised when an odd friend came over, then said "I had a collection of those once." What surprised me the most was, given his innocent destructive tendancies, his care in handling some of my models.
SNPP -Abbreviated from Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, this non-Fox site is an excellent jumping off point for further delving into the world of The Simpsons.
The Boondocks -Sometimes cute, sometimes sardonic, The Boondocks brings multi-ethnic issues to light in a humorous, yet sophisticated way, talking about youth, social satire, and hip-hop. Serious yet silly, this is one of my favorite strips.
The International Chess Club -If you want to play a few games, this has one of the best interfaces I've encountered on the internet. The applet they use works well with both Netscape and Exploror, which can ba difficult to find.
Waylon J. Smithers -If you haven't come across this link elsewhere, this is the way to a site on Waylon Smithers. It also has links to the Top 50 Simpsons Sites, something definitely worth a look.
RoselandFarm Great Danes -A breeder thatI am looking to purchase a dog from when my lifestyle is more suited to it. She has some beautiful Harl danes.
Digimon -my all time favorite Aminé! The animation is good, the characters realistic, and the plots superb! Definately, check it out! I plan to build a Digimon page, when I have the time.
"My Neighbor Totoro" -This is a classic film, well dubbed, with incredable artwork and music. I saw it once, and fell in love with it. It is undoubtable one of the finest Animés around. If you don't think you like Animés, wait till you see "Totoro." It was based upon a Japanese book, actually.
Pokémon -This is not a link to the Pokemon show! This is a link to Pokémon info and game links. Did you know that In Pokémon Blue/Red, there are actually at least 154 Pokémon? Mew, Togia, Pikablu, and Missingno (the 4th rare bird Pokémon). The Japanese version (Pokémon Green) is rumored to have more Pokémon than either of the American versions.
Paul Smith's College -(Yes, there is a second link to this site further down... what? I went for a four-year program after I finished my 2-year) Aside from the %#&(#&!!! pop-ups, this site is easy enough to navigate and the school is... well the academics are excellent! The profs are some of the best out there, in my humble opinion. (Don't get me started on the lack or organization by those in charge *hehe*)
Harvard University -The most prestigious (*?*) college in the US. Visit Harvard University. Unfortunately you can't buy Harvard merchandise over the web. "Fair Harvard thy sons to thy jubilee throng-" yadda yadda yadda.
Yale University -Couldn't have Harvard without Yale now could we? The most prestigious (*?*) college in the US. Get yourself psyched for the famed football games.
Cornell University -Beautiful campus, nice location, good academics. I've done a bit of looking into their school of Agriculture. Would like to go there sometime... me and my silly low SAT score of a scant 1300+
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute -A place I'd like to go for Grad school. I'm interested in Environmental Science and Mechanics. Now if I could just hone in my math skills...
Reed -I can't remember if it's Reed College or Reed University. This is another college I've looked at going to.
Vassar -I've had several friends who've gone to Vassar. They say it was really fun, and all the things I've read about it make it sound like a good place. The site is good, user friendly, and full of info.
Paul Smith's College -The College I went to. A good place, but definately a sub-culture all its own. Not that I minded too much. I am a Forester; we went outside a lot.
Emma Willard School -To be perfectly honest, I thought their first webpage was better. It was more user friendly and easier to navigate. This one's more designed for aesthetics (and those images take forever to download) but doesn't have as much in the way of content.
Indian Lake Central School -My graduating alma mater. This site may not even be up yet. It is under offline construction. I personally doubt it will ever be running. Maybe I just have very little faith...
