some cool sites I've found.

I am in the process of going through a list of websites that I got from a friend. I will check each one out, and post the best ones I find here.

To start things off, check these out:

Trend Micro
This site has a great online scan to check your computer for viruses.
www.Trendmicro.com


How Stuff Works
This is a great site to visit when you want to know how something works.
I have used this site to find info on things from computers to jet fighter engines. Check this out when you have time. You can get hooked easily.

Oh great, now I'll never get any loads delivered :type:

Here's a couple more I've gotten hooked on:

www.SI.edu
That's the address for the Smithsonian Institute's website. I spent some time there, and found a whole bunch of stuff to check out.


www.ifilm.com
Go here if you have some spare time, and don't want to use it in any other way than to get a laugh or two. Some stuff is a bit on the adult side, but most of the films are OK.


There are a bunch of news sites, but I'll be listing them seperately in a different thread, due to the fact that I can't find any of them that tell the news, without adding their own slant on it.

Here's some Entertainment sites.

All Music Guide
www.AllMusic.com

The Internet Movie Database
www.IMDB.com

Rolling Stone
www.RollingStone.com

Internet Archive
www.Archive.org

I have found a site that has some strange, and some funny stuff on it. It's not on the top of my list of sites to visit, but good for killing a few minutes when you need to.
www.strangecosmos.com

Here's a long over-due list of some more sites I have found. I haven't been able to surf too much lately, but here are some better sites I have found.

Great Speeches
Check out this site for some great speeches from some great people. There are old ones, as well as new ones to choose from. You can hear anything from the "I have a dream" speech, to President Bush's address to Congress after the attacks of 9-11-01.

Consumer Protection
If you want to check out information about consumer fraud, or identity theft, this is the place to go. If you are a victim, you can even file a complaint online at this site.

NASA TV Online
If you love to watch the space shuttle, or like to keep up to date with what is going on at NASA, here's a good site to add to your favorites list. You can keep tabs on live NASA TV, or check out pictures from space. This is a fun site to check out.

Front Page comparison
To see front pages of newspapers from all over the country, or even the world, use this site. When a big story breaks, you can see how each paper portrays the story on their front page.
