Places I Like

Personally, I think some of these are cool. Your entertainment mileage may vary. You can also check out some of the Really Neat Places I've found on the Web. If you discover one of these links has moved or changed, please let me know. Some of these links are pretty dead, since I haven't really bothered to keep up with them much over the years.
