A "blogger" is basically a journal that is published to the web
immediately. You can set up your own and then "blog" to it daily
or whenever you feel like it. You can get a free server page or set it up
on your current web space. wilmotgirls.com-
This is a site Greg, Louis and I put up for our friends who graduated from
Michigan over this past year. Find out about these wonderful girls and leave
them a message. evilmenido.com-
an interesting webzine that my friend Brian Babb writes for. Check out
the MTV
article about Babbs and Al Gore too. atomica.net-
a downloadable dictionary/ thesaurus/ encyclopedia application. Hot. iPing.com-
you can set up this site to call you any time you want. For wake up calls
or appointments. www.aint-it-cool.com-
a web site with movie and television reviews. lots of advance information
and spoilers if you're into that sorta thing. imdb.com-
the acronym stands for Internet Movie Database. It has tons of stuff including
reviews and a great search engine for information about everyone in or having
to do with the movies. You can also do a search for any line that appears
in the movies. Dope. Stephen
Hawking- This site is basically an online collection of some of Stephen
Hawking's lectures.
He talks abouts physics and time and space and stuff like that. Really interesting
if you're into that sort of thing. If names like "Does God Play Dice"
and "Space and Time Warps" titillate you then check it out. Duality-
a star wars short movie made by two guys on G4s. If this doensn't knock
your socks off i don't know what will. This is amazing! Looks as good as
an original Industrial Light and Magic production. Also go see how they
did it at crewoftwo.com. iFilm.com-
along the same vein, a site for short movies and animations by people. The
Killer Bean 2 is hilarious, as is Lego Chef (an Iron Chef spoof). soyouwanna.com-
this is a site, much like about.com where
you can find step-by-step instructions for doing anything. I stumbled onto
it because i wanted to be a movie
extra. But this site has everything you've ever wanted to know. Like
the info if you wanted to be a model,
or have a sex
change. Check it out. beinamovie.com-
This is only for people in LA. But if you want to see some FREE tv tapings
or be an extra in movies, you can check out this site. I'm sure there's
a better one out there but this is what i found. chesspro.com-
This is a good chess website with easy to digest courses
that explain chess ideas in very simple language without all the normal
chess notation and stuff. chesswise.com-
Another dope chess site with some FREE lessons (go to Courses and then scroll
down to middle to see the FREE ones.) that feature audio/video lessons via
RealPlayer. A great how-to-play
chess lesson is offered too. netflix.com-
Basically a DVD rental site where you pay $19.95 a month andget as many
DVDs as you want. The catch is you can only have three out at a time so
you are basically sending DVDs back and forth (with a pre-paid envelope
though). Perhaps worth it though, although I believe Blockbuster has a 30
DVDs a month deal for $19.95 so that may be more convenient. websitegarage.com-
If you have a homepage or whatever, you can go here and register it in all
the search engines for free. This site also offers all sorts of other goodies
for your website but i've never tried them wunames-
Basically you type in your first and last name and you get a "Wu-Name"
like Optimistic Lyricist or Pre-Raphaelite Shaolin. Pretty funny actually. fantasy
sports- If you wanna play fantasy basketball or football (well, tell
me first actually) for free, this site has a great website manager (anything
Football/Baseball/Basketball Commissioner) that allows you to computerize
every aspect of your league and to customize everything. Best of all, you
also get an individualized website for each league you set up. Exciting
eh? My basketball
and football
leagues.
