Bassoon
Forrests An excellent place for music, accessories, cds, tools, cane, and more.
Midwest Musical Imports Another place for accessories, cds, tools, cane, and more, but with a different selection.
IRDS International Double Reed Society Homepage.
Bell Bassoons Extreme quality custom instruments, though he's made less than 50, the Bourne movie series bassoon soundtrack was recorded on one of his instruments.
Trevco Music A large library of bassoon solo music and etude books.
Charles Double Reed Company A good alternative to Forrests or Midwest Musical Imports for accessories, cane, and tools.
Miller Marketing Co A supplier of bassoon accessories, tools, and cane. Somewhat difficult to navigate and order, but the site has lots of specific information on cane, and I have heard good things about the 'Miller Select' brand.
Comics
Penny Arcade A gamer's comic, perhaps the gamer's comic, very well made.
White Ninja White ninja's randomness cannot be described. Sometimes very gruesome, always very hilarious.
Homestar Flash comics out the wazoo. Great collection of well-developed characters. Family safe, but still funny.
Megatokyo Sappy anime storyline, moments of hilarity, but not intended to be a funny comic all the time.
Ask a Ninja Funny and crazy vids, worth a look.
Seraph-Inn A bit of a guilty pleasure of mine, it began with Inverloch, a love story of sorts set in a fantasy world. The Phoenix Requiem is set in the same world, but at a later time and with entirely different characters. Sure it's a tad sappy, but the artwork quality is excellent and the story is just as good.
Zero-Punctuation Reviews A hilarious reviewer who makes video reviews of games with silly animations to accompany them. They are fast-paced, foul-mouthed, gems of reviews which are both clever and low brow at the same time.
Computer Parts
Newegg The place to go for computer hardware. Also a good baseline for comparing prices.
SVC The place for cooling and pimping gear. Cheap prices and solid service.
FrozenCPU A little more pricey, but some unique cooling gear and a good selection.
Zip Zoom Fly Sometimes cheaper than Newegg, good selection, and lots of free shipping.
Xoxide Lots of computer-pimping gear and high performance parts (ships to US and Canada).
Sidewinder Computers Fast service and good selection and prices on cooling gear.
Great Games
X3: Reunion An in-space single player game including an extensive economy system and a first person combat style.
Eve Online Homepage A neat In-space MMO, good for consuming your time and making mad dollars. The most complex game I've ever played, to date.
UT3 Homepage Not much info about it now, but this game looks very promising and has been a long time in the making.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R A dark first person shooter set in the aftermath of a nuclear disaster in Chernoybl.
Steam A growing application to launch, buy, and download tons of games. If you don't already use this, you should really give it a look, even if shooters aren't your thing.
Oblivion A sequel to Morrowind, a single player first person RPG game. One of the most popular fantasy RPGs for PC, even compared to newer games the graphic detail is very good.
Portal Valve's new puzzle game set loosely in the Half Life universe. It's a relatively short puzzle game with an excellent plot and amazing ending. Quite possible the most hilarious game I've ever played.
Supreme Commander A RTS based in the far future, very similar to Total Annihilation, which combines a good UI with a good resource and tech system to make epic (multi hour) games on a massive scale.
MyBrute Online Game While it hardly qualifies as "great", this simple little online game with similarities to a pyramid scheme is pretty addictive, though there is very little actual gameplay.
Cybernations Online Game An online game involving the creation and management of your nation of the world. While entirely text based and relatively slow-paced, it's a lot of fun to be a supreme ruler, whether benevolent or otherwise.
Team Fortress 2 Another game from the Orange Box, Team Fortress 2 is an entirely multiplayer class-based online FPS. Great level design, interesting class options and development, funny dialog and animation... it's my multiplayer game of choice.
Deals
Woot Sells 1 item a day (except on wootoffs), usually pretty cheaply, and a limited quantity. If you want a chance at the good stuff, they post the new item at 12AM central.
ebay If you don't know about this, you fail at the internet.
[H]ard OCP Deals Forum Some great bargains from stores and things... home of coupons, bargains and rebates.
GoGamer A great new site to order games. A large catalog of old and new games, good prices, and low shipping, some 48 hour deals get even cheaper.
Tech News
Anand Tech Daily updates on everything tech, good reviews and rumors covered.
Tech Powerup Good community and great reviews. Very modder/hacker oriented, lots of rumor work.
Rage 3D My community of choice, good overview of happenings in the computer world. Forum rich with rumors, discussion, and suggestive content.
Misc
Go Daddy Who gave me this domain and my first year of hosting for $35.
Games Workshop A company which produces miniature wargames, including Warhammer 40,000.
M Audio Makers of high end sound equipment and computer interfaces, they made my Firewire 410.
CCG Armory Batimore based hobby shop with good prices, sells cards, action figures, and miniatures mainly.
3D Buzz A large collection of Video tutorials for coding, mapping, and 3D modelling. A great place to learn, and a good community for questions.
Sachs Systems Aquaculture An excellent online fish and fish supply store. Their prices are reasonable, stock is fairly good, and they ship well and quickly. I bought my topminnows and ghost shrimp from here.
Aquabid A site similar to ebay but dedicated to fish, plants, and aquarium supplies. A great place to get interesting fish at pretty good prices. Know that this has much less post-auction support than ebay, so the transactions occour largely between the bidder and seller with no middleman.
