The Great Links Explanation (Part 1 of Many)

I just realized I never wrapped up my SALT review. I should do that soon. This week I will set a goal for.

Well I am gonna start out with my actual non-blog links. These are probably self-explanatory but might as well explain why they're there.

First one simple point with every link on my blog. They are there so to some extent anywhere in the world I am I can have some of my favorite sites easily accessed. It's my homepage to a large extent and I use it as such. Granted the content is for the readers and the links are too but the links serve the self-serving purpose of aiding me as well.

Without further ado:

First off Google News. This is how I keep in touch with what's going on in the world. In general I don't pay any attention to local/state news and I don't get a newspaper or have time to watch tv news so it keeps me informed. It also uses 4k+ sources so I get a wide array of opinions.

White-Wolf Forums: This is actually just there for the Exalted forums but initially it was easier to link to the overall forum page rather then the Exalted one. I am too lazy to change it. If you've read this for any period of time you'll know I'm an Exalted fan boy so this link should make perfect sense.

APOD (ie Astronomy Picture of the Day): Just cool pictures of the frontiers of technology. A new one every day. Also keeps me informed on any big happenings in that area of interest. I've seen Mars and Titan through there.

Red vs. Blue: Very humorous web series. Worth your time to check out although 56k dial-ups will not be able to enjoy very well. If you've played Halo you'd prolly get a laugh. Even if you haven't you might anyways.

Sci-Fi Wire: Sci-Fi channel's news service. Essentially a less efficient sort of Google News (although it's been around much longer) it keeps me abreast with news relating to science fiction and fantasy. Easier then tracking those rumors and stories across the web.

MAHQ (Mecha Anime Headquarters): Basically a Gundam heavy site which houses stats for nearly every Gundam vehicle it also keeps me up to date with the mecha related anime world to an extent. Mostly for my occasional Gundam fix.

So that's the links. Primarily for keeping me in touch with the rest of the world. Blogs both active and quiet soon to come.
