Micah's Favorite Web Sites

(And other things that aren't really my favorites but for one reason or another deserve to be included)

News

• THE best site on the Net! Slashdot - News for Nerds on the stuff that matters
• USA Today online
• PCWeek: up to date computer industry news
• AnchorDesk: commentary from the Ziff-Davis rag folks.

Travel

• For travel freaks, here's a page with all the travel information you could want.
• Fascinating information on all the world's countries is in the CIA World Factbook 1995. The NEW edition is finally out!
• Lonely Planet - publisher of travel guides
• Interesting information on Latin American countries can be found at the University of Texas' Latin American Network Information Center

Business and Finance

• Stock market quotes
• A list of most, if not all, of the world's Currency Exchange Rates.
• Datek is a good online broker. Only $10 per trade!

Computers

• The Perl Manual The essential guide to the language I use to write the stupid CGI programs on this server. (OK, this is from my college days, but I still use Perl occasionally. I was referring to the www.emu.edu server)
• The OS/2 Warp Pharmacy. The best source of information on the best operating system for personal computers! (this one's also outdated. The best OS is now Linux!)
• Home pages of computer companies
• IBM's home page
• And of course GeoCities, where you can get a free home page.

The Sciences

• Self proclaimed "yuckiest site on the Internet," Cockroach World contains fascinating information on our small friends. Great place to blow an hour if you're bored.

The Bible

• Online Study Bible
• The Christian Coffeehouse is a cool place to hang out.
• And so is NetCentral Live Chat
• Christiananswers.net: You've got questions, they've got answers!

Politics

• The Right Side of the Web. If you liked the results of the 1994 and 96 congressional elections, you'll love this page!
• Would Newt Gingrich taste like chicken? Good grief. What will the Democrats think of next?
