Here is where you can learn about the other web sites that I visit, some daily, some weekly, some just for reference.

Other web sites I like:

Of course everyone who has a web site has to have a links page so here's mine. These are sites either that I'm in the habit of visiting often or that I find useful.

Blogs

What counts as a blog? Perhaps self-identification is all that matters. At any rate, these are the blogs I find entertaining or interesting.

Daniel's Manhattan Architecture: It was after seeing Azonick's site that I decided to give blogging a try myself. His various designs were very visually appealing, but unfortunately he's given up blogging, letting his azonick.com domain lapse, though his Manhattan Architecture pages are worth a visit.


Tech

If you have no geek tendencies, you might not care about any of these sites.

Style Master CSS tutorial: If you don't know anything about CSS, this is a very good tutorial that will quickly teach you the basics. They want to see you their stylesheet editor, but you can follow their tutorial just using a text editor.


Reference

It's hard to comprehend how difficult getting information used to be. Even if you were lucky enough to own the particular book that had the information, you had to put down everything you were doing to find the book and flip through it. Some information, such as how to pronounce a word, just wasn't available in a user-friendly format. What's more amazing today though is how many Internet users don't know what's available to them.

Merriam-Webster Online: A very useful site if you don't know what a word means but even better if you don't know how to pronounce a word -- you can listen to it being spoken

LEO English-German dictionary: Great for making the right word choice if you're working on something in German and now with sound files for German pronunciation (did they get that idea from m-w.com?)

Dayton Metro Library premium services: The library has subscriptions to many premium online services that we get to use for free, just by having a library card

Ohio Public Library Information Network: Even more reference databases (Were you upset when Encyclopedia Britannica started charging? It's free here!)
