Places you might want to visit (around the web)
July 6, 2008There are hundreds of thousands of sites around the internet, and most of them are not worth your time (like this one), but a few are worth checking back with every few weeks. Below are a few of my favorites, that other people might enjoy or find educational.
For ease of surfing and later reference for myself (and you) I split these up into categories:
Programming/Web-design
w3schools.com – a great website about all sorts of web related programming, can function as a starting point for learning a web-based language or a useful reference for experts.
php.net – The creators of php have pretty much all the information you’ll ever need about php right on there own site. There are also posts from the community on nearly every reference page, providing helpful advice and additional examples.
AListApart.com – An excellent and extremely literary website with articles about website design and web programming. The articles on this site are works of art and provide expert advice on a variety of issues.
java.sun.com/[...]/api/The java API is one of the most complete and the most accessible references for any programming language (and a far cry from the relatively worthless MSDN developer network…).

Humorous Sites
Uncyclopedia.org – A sarcastic, uninformative, geeky and yet hilarious wiki abot anything and everything. I would recommend searching for celebrities who you don’t like or, if you just love everyone, fall back on ‘Microsoft’ (always a good bet).
Maddox.xmission.com – Maddox is like… Rush Limbaugh – Politics + even more conceit + more humor.
UrbanDictionary.com – Urban Dictionary… enough said.
ICanHasCheezBurger.com – Cats + Captions + Poor spelling = Hilarious (unless you are a Grammar/Spelling Nazi).
FailBlog.org – Looking at pictures of fails always makes me feel better about myself… and laugh… a lot.

Others
PSDtuts.com – an excellent site for learning Photoshop techniques.
NewEgg.com – If you need to buy computer/electronic related items… Newegg is the place.
Pandora.com – Pandora creates custom radio channels based on music you like and then streams it for free to your computer. Its a great way to find new artists and songs that you might like.

I might end up adding more links later, but for right now, this is a short list of my bookmarks.
