Here's a somewhat random bunch of very useful websites. There's not necessarily any direct connection between most of them other than the fact that I visit them often.
I broke them into rough categories, but the similarities are still pretty loose.

| DMC Maryland | http://www.dmcmd.org/ |
|---|---|
|
DMC Maryland is a group I started (based around Yahoo Groups) for owners and/or enthusiasts of the DeLorean DMC-12 (my favorite car). |
|
| DMCTalk | http://www.dmctalk.com/ |
|
DMCTalk a great forum for just talking about DeLoreans, DeLorean history, John DeLorean, etc. We tend to branch off into a bunch of other bizarre topics as well. |
|
| Answers in Genesis | http://www.answersingenesis.org/ |
|---|---|
|
Answers in Genesis is the best Christian apologetics site on the Internet. They focus primarily on Creation, but cover pretty much every area of Christianity. Oh yeah, and I work for them (in the web department, of course). |
|
| Plugged in Online | http://www.pluggedinonline.com/ |
|
Plugged in Online, run by Focus on the Family, offers reviews of movies, TV shows, music, and video games. It's a great resource for hearing the Christian perspective on a movie before seeing it. Please note, however, that I am promoting this site separately from Focus on the Family as a whole. I have problems with some of their doctrinal beliefs. |
|
| Giveaway of the Day | http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/ |
|---|---|
|
Giveaway of the Day is simply awesome. Every day it gives a way a proprietary program for free. And it's sister site (Game Giveaway of the Day) gives away a proprietary video game every day. There are no catches, you just have to download and install the software within a twenty-four hour period. |
|
| Hesido | http://www.hesido.com/ |
|
Hesido provides a lot of cool website effects, mostly in Javascript. Specifically, fleXcroll (the script for the custom scroll-bars on my site) was borrowed from there. |
|
| Open Source as Alternative | http://www.osalt.com/ |
|
Open Source as Alternative is kind of like my Free Stuff page, but bigger. It's a huge database of tons of great Open Source Software. It also allows you to search for a proprietary progam, then it lists the closest Open Source Alternatives. |
|
| Alcaeru's Sheet Music | http://alcaeru.weebly.com/ |
|---|---|
|
Alcaeru's Sheet Music is a great site by another member of the PianoThemes forum. This is where he hosts all of his arrangements, and a couple from other people. |
|
| John Williams Fan Network | http://www.jwfan.com/ |
|
The John Williams Fan Network is a great fan-site about John Williams. There's a lot of cool resources, but its forum is the main part. |
|
| MIDIsite | http://www.midisite.co.uk/ |
|
MIDIsite is a search engine for finding MIDI files of any kind. This is always one of the first places I check when I'm looking for something specific. |
|
| Music by John Williams | http://www.musicby.jw-music.net/ |
|
Music by John Williams is a pretty cool John Williams fan-site. The best part, IMO, is its MIDIs. It has the largest collection of John Williams MIDIs I know of. You can find MIDI versions of nearly all of William's most famous pieces. |
|
| PianoThemes | http://www.pianothemes.com/ |
|
This used to be the best original sheet music website out there. Joseph Rozell is a master at arranging music. Unfortunately, due to legal reasons, all the film music was taken down. The other music and the forum is still there though. You can now access almost all of the music that was lost from PianoThemes via my mirror site. |
|
| Sheethunters | http://www.sheethunters.webs.com/ |
|
Sheethunters is a nice collection of links to good sheet music sites. It's a good resource to keep. It hosts some sheet music as well. |
|
| Soundtrack Collector | http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/ |
|
Soundtrack Collector is like the IMDB of film scores. It has a huge database of nearly every soundtrack available. It's an invaluable resource for, well, soundtrack collectors. |
|
| Clientcopia | http://www.clientcopia.com/ |
|---|---|
|
Clientcopia is a massive collection of funny stories about stupid clients. It is hilarious to read, and will really hit home if you have ever worked in web or design. I have wasted way to many hours here, yet I still keep coming back. |
|
| Snopes | http://www.snopes.com/ |
|
Snopes is an urban legend website. It contains rumors of every kind, as well as a full explanation as to why the story is or isn't true. While this site makes for a good read, its real value is in debunking chain email stories. I don't know about you, but I can't stand it when people forward me chain emails that aren't even true. Snopes is a leading factor in the war against spam. |
