Wiffle ball is a wonderful game that captures the enjoyment of baseball without requiring the same skill level, number of people, or fieldspace. My Dad grew up playing wiffleball with his friends and he taught me how to play. I played in a few tournaments in my hometown and even played in one league. It's a great form of recreation and I encourage baseball lovers to explore this game. Here's a website that will tell you more about the game - http://www.wiffle.com/
Some people get very into it and compete nationally. I'm not really that good or that into it, but it's crazy to think what you can do these days.

chance to do some good
A friend told me about a website that seems like it is actually doing some good. www.savedarfur.org. It's purpose is to raise money to fight starvation in Sudan. You can even purchase a wristband (the kind that have become so popular lately) to show your support for the organization. I actually asked my friend about it cause I saw his wristband - what a brilliant way of advertising for free.

reflex test
one of my friends showed me this site. It can be fun for a little while. Good for killing time if nothing else. The design is simple and loads quickly so you won't have to wait. http://www.happyhub.com/network/reflex/
Give it a try.
Give it a try.
history...it's exciting
I love history, especially royalty, so the historychannel.com is so fun for me. You can log on and look up shows that are going to be on the channel, but you can also use it as an information source for all kinds of topics. It is informative and eye catching!
Ebay Warning
I bought a purchase off of Ebay about a month ago and payed the extra money to have it shipped to me in 2 days. Well, 2 weeks went by and I still had not recieved my package, so I emailed the seller with no response. Another day passed and I called Ebay and they could not do anything about it because the transaction was already complete and eveidentally the package was sent. So a few days later I recieved my package and the seller said that it was a miscommunication with the post office, but my warning to you is to never pay the extra money for fast shipping. More than likely the seller my buy that extra shipping, but it doesn't help if they take it to the post office 2 weeks after you purchased the item.
weather channel
I love the weather.com. It is the weather channel onine and it can be so helpful. It allows you to look up the weather by zip code or city and state. I have used the website for travel and it allows you travel weather through all the cities you may be passing by and it also will give you and extended forcast which is helpful for packing.
Nutrition Facts
If you have ever wondered the nutritional value of the food you are eating when you go out to a restaurant, just log on to the internet, go to that restaurant's website, and the restuarant will have the nutrional values posted. A lot of times they also have pocket nutritional charts that you can print off and have with you. A helpful resource for the heath conscience.
Discounts on your favorite stores
I'm sure a lot of you already know this, but if you are shopping online most of your favorite stores have a place to sign up for email about specials deals. When you sign up to recieve this mail, you are also more than likely going to recieve discount coupons. So sign up and be watching your email.

Weather Bug
I'm not sure if this is an actual website or what, but weatherbug is amazing. I know it's connected to the internet . . . anway - it's got really helpful links to look up local and national weather, as well as the weekly update. And you can make it a link right onto your desktop.
new page
I know I already posted about the EEE page, but it wasn't good when I posted it, and now it's completely different. It's a lot better now - there are links with pictures, history, events, and a nice guestbook. You can still get to it by the same link of the organizations link on the tigernet.
Cereal Critiques
It might just be late, but this site made me laugh really hard.
http://www.coldbacon.com/food/cereal-sometimes.html They list most of hte cereals I grew up with and critique them. The critiques are mostly true and very harsh. I also really like the song that they play. Is that something that you add in Dreamweaver?

Hershy and Kosher
I really like the Hershey site. It has a lot of info on it, but it is well organized so you never feel overwhelmed. It has all sorts of nutritional information, mostly pertaining to allergies. It also has a list of what candies they have and if they are Kosher or not. I found this list very interesting. Bubble Yum Bubble Gum is kosher along with the different types of chocolate eggs that they sell.
Solve The Mystery For Yourself
On the usanetwork.com website you can go to the Monk website. Monk is a TV series that is about a obsessive compulsive detective named Monk. You can now solve mysteries for yourself, thanks to this innovative site. If you can not solve the mystery, than they will tell you how Monk solved it. It's fun you ought to try it!
How to Pray for Mission
The International Mission Board has a really cool website. I thought the navigation was a little confusing, but I think that might just be because it is such a huge site. One thing that I thought was really cool, was that you choose what country and the how current of a topic you want, and they will give you specific things to pray for that country. Even though they have all the countries listed they do not have prayer items for all of them, I thought that was a bummer. Mostly I thought it was a cool site though.
Identity
This is now one of my favorite movies. It is a couple of years old but I just recently watched it. I guess it would be classified as a psychological thriller/murder myster. The website is pretty cool as well. You can go to http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/identity/if you want to find out more about it.
siftingsherald.com
Looking for a job this summer? If you are planning on staying here this summer and still do not have a job then you might want to check out the classified section of this site. There are not a lot of opportunities but you may find what you are looking for. I check it regularly.
coffeebreakarcade.com
This is another great gaming site. It has sports games, shooting games, casino games and many others. If you have a lot of time and nothing to do then this is a great place to waste it. Miniature Golf is the best.
switchboard.com
This site is great. If anyone loses the phonebook as often as I do or if you just do not have one this site will fill the void. You can search for numbers by entering in the name and location of the individual you are trying to contact. The coolest part I thought was being able to enter a number and find out who it belongs to. You can search for individuals or businesses and it has a place to obtain maps and directions. It is very convenient.
Fun Website for Kids
Before A Series of Unfortuneate Events was a movie it was a series of books. My little sister loves these books, and got the whole family hooked on them. It's website goes along perfectly with the theme and is really funny.From book info, to movie info, to games, and screensavers this website has it all for kids who have either enjoyed watching the movie or reading the books.
Buddy Icon
Having trouble choosing a buddy icon for you instant messenger? The American Greetings website has many icons to choose from. All you have to do is double click on the icon you want to have up on you screen and it brings up a window automatically asking if you want to change it. It's easy and they are cute!
Staying Organized
The Hallmark website has desktop calendars that you can download on to your computer and make your background. It is free and it helps you stay organized, what could be better than that? There is also an interactive version of the calendar that must be viewed through Macromedia Flash Player.

So, ever since I was little people feel the need to tell me lots of blonde jokes. They seem to think it's really funny. So I found a great source for blonde jokes. If you visit www.zelo.com/blonde there's all kinds of funny ones. One of my personal favorites:
Q: What did the blonde say when she looked in the box of Cheerios?
A: OOH! Donut seeds!

Easter Eggs
"In the context of software, an Easter Egg is a hidden feature or novelty that the programmers have put in their software."
Check out eeggs.com! The most common easter eggs that I look for are those on DVDs. There are many DVDs, some of which you probably own, that have cool little features hidden in the menus. For instance, within Memento's menu, there is somewhere hidden (and difficult to find) where you can watch the movie in chronological order. On the Finding Nemo DVD, there are nine hidden jokes and animations!
If you have some time to kill, search for some of the DVDs you own and access things on them you never knew were there.

"On The Border" Web site is so good!!
I love Mexican food. I especially love On The Border mexican food. You can visit their website at www.ontheborder.com. It's really cool, you can look up the menu & prices for any On The Border restaurant across the country. They also offer catering and they can even give you catering estimates through their website. If you sign up to their mailing list, you can recieve a free appetizer. How great is that? It is a very nice website. I like the online menu and the colors are very festive. The navigation bar across the top is very nice as well. Check it out.
Great Soccer Website
The American Youth Soccer Association has an amazing Soccer Website at www.soccer.org. It makes great use of colors (red, blue, white), and great pictures. It is easy to navigate. It is very appealing to the eye, and best of all is that it has awesome flash components. Scroll across the navigation bar on the top of the screen and a bouncing soccer ball appears in each tab. It's a very fun and useful site. Check this site out when you are working on your Arkadelphia Soccer Assocaiton website. It is sure to be a great reference tool.
