Jenn posted a link to http://www.idealist.org in the Education and Career section the other day--it's a site that lists socially-responsible jobs and volunteer opportunities and I thought it was WONDERFUL (Thank you, Jenn!). So I got to wondering--what are some of everyone's favorite websites that you'd like to share (other than this one, of course)? Here are 10 of mine:
http://www.engrish.com The Japanese love to plaster English words and sayings all over their products, but they don't always work in translation. A very funny site.
http://www.spiritualityhealth.com "Spiritual practices for human being."
http://www.uncommongoods.com Very unusual and artistic gifts in a variety of price ranges.
http://www.salon.com An online magazine--sometimes just liberal enough, sometimes a little too liberal. I'm a big fan of Cary Tennis' advice column.
http://www.orisinal.com A free game site with some sweet games that you wouldn't mind your younger kids playing. My favorite is "Chicken Wings" where you throw umbrellas up to falling baby chicks so they can glide gently down to the ground. I know, "Awwwwwww", but hey, aren't there enough violent games already?
http://www.roadfood.com A site that features reviews of little local eateries all over the US that are excellent and cheap (the best combination). I found Ella's Deli in Madison, WI on this site and loved it.
http://www.penzeys.com A local Wisconsin company that has some of the freshest, best spices in the world. And they ship anywhere.
http://www.copykat.com Restaurant recipes to make at home. It's where I got the recipe for Sonic limeades after moving to a state that has no Sonics. 8O
http://www.thebigproject.co.uk The news section has links to the online editions of all the British newspapers. It's where I go to get another perspective on what's going on here at home.
http://www.televisionwithoutpity.com Recaps and reviews of TV shows by some very sarcastic writers.
