5 favorite bookmarks

Hiddnfox · 05-16-2005, 06:06 PM

Somedays, no matter how hard I try, I cannot find something new and interesting to read or see online when i have 5 mins to burn. So I have decided to start a post to probe into a few of your minds and see what great sites some of you have bookmarked.

please post 5 of your favorites. thou shalt go only to five. not 2, nor 3, nor 4....unless proceeding directly to 5. 6 is too many, and 7 would just be obnoxious. So please post 5 😉

Here are mine

1 - http://live365.com/index.live (my favorite online radio station finder)

2 - http://www.football4less.com/internet-schedule.php (live footbal streams from europe, great way to spend weekday mornings )

3 - http://www.xperteleven.com/ (one of a few soccer manager games online for free that i play, there IS a loyalists league too!)

4 - http://sollice.net/ ( a Neverwinter Nights mod that i worldbuild for)

5 - http://www.hqfl.dk/ ( AWESOME site with HI-RES football logos from around the world, excellent for us logo designers )

This site and the mlsnet.com fantasy login are my only two non-nerd bookmarks. I suck.

None of mine would be of interest to any of you. Lots of Josh Groban, Harry Potter and of course LiveJournal.com and tons of html and layout sites.

It is a great site. EXTREMELY inclusive. If you want to go in depth I have two recommendations:

1... try to find out if Balrogs have wings or not.

2... try to find out what Tom Bombadil is (1st clue... he isn't an Elf).

That should keep you busy for a few days. ha ha

I personally like the sections that cover the differences betwwen the print and film versions and the ensueing debates... I thought I was a super geek until I started reading that stuff...

I found that I am but a grasshopper! 😉
