Ahh, this is my favorite part: the part where I get to comment/rant/promote/endorse/compliment/etc. on anything and everything. So, let's get to the good stuff. Music: Back at home, my car stereo is usually wavering between 92.3 and 106.3. Now, 106.3 really pissed me off 2 years ago when they got bought out by some other company and changed their name from "FM 106.3: Modern Rock at the Jersey Shore" to "G106.3: Your Rock Alternative". For awhile, they had the marketing slogan "Find your G-Spot" that really just pissed everyone off. And it wasn't very funny. Now they just sound like another Z100 wanna-be radio station that sucks 30% of the time. But usually I can put up with them when there's really nothing else good on. I'm not going to go through and list all the bands that I like, or think are awesome, because quite frankly, that would take up all the space on this page. And since space is so precious these days, well, I'll use the rest of this to do something a bit more productive and interesting. Onwards! Cool
Stuff: Neopets - So this is my latest obsession. Neopets is a virtual pet community, much like the beloved Tamagotchis of the past. However, you can't carry your Neopet with you in your pocket, since it's entirely online. Your pet lives in a world called "Neopia" and you take your pet around exploring and playing games. There's even a stock market you can invest in! The site itself is an incredible work of Flash and HTML, with an extremely fast and robust database that drives the site. Impressive. You should go just to check out the site design. While you're at it, why don't you sign up for a Neopet? Slashdot - A great site that is part of OSDN (Open Source Developer's Network). Their motto is "News for Nerds. Stuff that Matters." They've also got some really funny polls, and if you know who Cowboy Neal is, the choices will makes a whole lot more sense. I think. I could be wrong though, and it could just be all part of some giant conspiracy that excludes you and me. ThinkGeek - Only the coolest site ever to exist for my shopping pleasure! This site has everything you ever imagined that would be cool, techie, or just plain neato. They have the best collection of tech geek shirts, and they also sell the Despair posters, which are absolutely hilarious. They've also got the biggest collection of caffeinated beverages I've ever seen, and at one point, I think they even did scheduled deliveries. Crazy! JonRein.com - Okay, so I had to put a link on my page to this site because of Matt Darragh. But you should go check out this site because it links to a bunch of my old friends from high school. I'm not exactly sure what the purpose of the site is, but you should go there anyway. Orisinal - Ah. Another one of those sites where I'm not sure what the purpose of it is, but if you go there, it has a bunch of these cute little games you can play. The site has a very soft and fuzzy feeling to it, kind of like the blanket you have on your bed. Okay, that's really all the cool sites I can think of now. When I think of more, I'll post them. If you want your site up here, drop me a line and I'll see if you're worthy. =). |
