Here is a list of some of my favorite links that I have to all sorts of random stuff.  Explore them and if you have any favorites of your own, send them my way.

The Physics of Extra-Terrestrial Civilizations - an excellent 15 minute article about where we may go as a society.

National Driver's License Database - *Very important and I suggest you all remove it* About Your Driver's License......
This is upsetting, thought I should pass it along. Check your driver's license... Now you can see anyone's Driver's License on the Internet, including your own! I just searched for mine and there it was picture and all! Thanks to Homeland Security! Privacy, where is our right to it!  I definitely removed mine; I suggest you all do the same..... Go to the website and check it out. Just enter your name, City and state to see if yours is on file. After your license comes on the screen, click the box marked "Please Remove". This will remove it from public viewing, but not from law enforcement.

Crazy Time Killer - If you are really bored, click on this one.  Use your mouse if she gets stuck.

Skeptic's Annotated Bible - Whether or not you believe in the Bible, Book of Mormon, or the Koran, this site gives its' own opinions of each work.

Movie Reviews - Need a place to go to see if a movie is any good?  Go here for as many reviews as you could ever need.

Looking for Cheap Gas? - This site compares the price of gas in your area and shows who is the cheapest.

Bush's approval rating - Are you interested in how people think he is doing?  Here is a summary of several polls.

How popular is your name? - This site will show you a graph of how popular you name has been over the years.  Click on "launch name voyager" and type in your name.

What is the snowpack right now?  This site gives you a colorful map of the U.S. showing how much water will be available for rafting.

Can you find the differences between these two pictures?  My friend said that there were 3 differences but I can only find 2.

Where is the Most Powder Today? - This weather channel link will tell you who just got dumped on.

Iridium Flairs - This page is a little geekish, but if you are interested, there are these satellites orbiting Earth and every so often their solar panels reflect down on us making a golden streak across the sky.  This site tells you where and when you need to be out in order to see them.  I have it set for downtown Boise so adjust your latitude or longitude accordingly.

Rapture Index - This is the site that will let us know when we will have our "frog leg feed".  As the Jews who have not been converted are burned, the messiah will return for the rapture. True believers will be lifted out of their clothes and transported to Heaven, where, seated next to the right hand of God, they will watch their political and religious opponents suffer plagues of boils, sores, locusts and frogs during the several years of tribulation that follow.  I'm not too worried, locusts are nearly gone in the US and if we all have boils, it will seem ok.

What Does Your Phone Number Spell? - Go to this site and enter your phone number and it will tell you all the stuff it spells.

Betterpropaganda - Get free MP3s and listen to a bunch of new bands that offer their music to the masses.

Boise Radio - This is a link to a group that is proposing a local station for the Boise Valley.  If you are sick of the corporate controlled lame music stations in Boise that are no more than a advertising front, then this might be the link for you.

This is not a link, but it is letting you know that if you are interested in hearing Boise's very own pirate radio station, you can tune to 101.3 each Sunday from 10am till the DJs go home.  I was told that the key to good reception is to make sure you use an antenna that is mounted vertically.  A horizontal antenna will not pick up the station.  This station plays an ultimate wide variety of music.  Enjoy it before the FCC finds out.

Ebay - Ebay is just about amazing.  Find anything you ever wanted for sale.  Sometimes for a pretty good price.

Epinions - Epinions is a great way to get reviews of products you are thinking about buying.

Hammer Snipe -  If you have ever bought anything on Ebay, you should have used hammer snipe software.  It places your bid for you 10 seconds before the auction ends.

Idaho Statesman - Our news will seem pretty boring, but if you need Idaho News, this is our paper.

Top 100 Newspapers - This link goes to the 100 largest newspapers in the United States.

This American Life - This link takes you the NPR show "This American Life".  It has streaming feeds of all its' shows.  ONe of the best radio shows ever.

Bogus Basin - This hyperlink goes to our local ski resort in Boise.  Mostly good for a snow report.  You can also go straight to the mountain cam and see real time how much snow they just got.

Bonsai Kittens! - If you ever wanted to own a cat in a bottle, go to the Bonsai Kitten site.

Ebaum's World -  Want to see some random video?  Go here.

Hite Marina - Hite marina is the usual takeout for Cataract Canyon on the Colorado river.  Due the the recent drought, it has been left high and dry.  This link takes you to pictures of the new takeout in reference to the old one.

DUI Stop Video - Interesting video of a person who just go pulled over for DUI.

Thanks for visiting!.
