Cool Sites

Here are a few cool sites I've stumbled across over the last few months that I think you should check out.

Mad Sci Network is a great idea. Get the answers to every question you ever dreamed up. From "What is the meaning of life?" to "Why do I shiver when I pee?" and everything in between. Post questions and get answers from really smart people with time on their hands.

Atom Films is another good one. Its been around for ever and everyone has visited it in the past for its creative shorts. But maybe you are like me (hopefully not for your sake), and something takes you there about twice a year, and you enjoy it, and you try to make a mental note to visit the site more often, but never remember to hit it up the next time you are surfing. Well it is still good, and I think I've solved my dilemma by bookmarking it.

Revision 3
is a great site. I'm a fan of Digg Nation which is housed here, but there are a few other online programs that are worth checking out.

CNet is a great place to go to find cool free downloads in addition to reviews of gadgets and software. Go to the home page, click on downloads and read up on cool stuff that is helpful, reliable, and has all the bugs pretty well worked out of it.

Cellar Tracker is a must for all wine drinkers out there. For no fee, you can load your personal wine collection into your own profile, then read reviews on wines you have or are interested in buying, add tasting notes to the community, get viewer rankings, and manage your own personal inventory. Its a great idea. For a subscription, you can get info on pricing which can help you to identify deals at your local bottle shop if that is your thing. But there is plenty of functionality without paying a dime.

To-Do List is another one I've just stumbled across. I'm still trying to get in to it, but I love the concept. Rather than describe it myself, I'm going to copy the general idea right off of the blog. It is basically a "collection of 100 handwritten lists and the stories behind them. To-Do List celebrates the world of the overlooked and mundane, letting our lists serve as unique windows into who we are. Nothing is more revealing than someone's to-do list."

Check these out and give me your thoughts. If there is anything you would like to add, please do. And don't forget to thanks your respective god(s) when you go to be tonight for giving us Al Gore - Creator of the Internet!
