Favorite Sites

03 October 2003

Here is a list of some of our favorite web sites.

• Robin and Dennis both work for EDS.

• Dennis spent a lot of time on the island of Hvar in the Adriatic (his mother was born on Hvar).

• See Robin's brother, Sam, and his family's web site at Sam and Patti.com. Sam also founded a company, Patti Engineering.

• Steven, Suzy and Dennis like to watch Jeopardy.

• Take a look at some very well done mini-movies at the BMW Films site (cable/DSL connection recommended).

• Musical tastes:

  • Go to Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville site or listen to a live concert (see schedule) or more music on the 'net at Radio Margaritaville.

  • In 2001 May, we got to see Elton John and Billy Joel in concert in Syracuse, NY on their Face to Face Tour 2001.

  • Dennis is a big fan of James Taylor, Harry Chapin, and Randy Newman.

• These are a few of our favorite amusements:

  • Three Stooges

  • Star Wars

  • The Blue Angels

  • The Smithsonian Museums

  • Disney, Disney World, Disneyland

  • Legoland

• For easy planning for Disney vacations (DisneyWorld and Disney Land), try the MousePlanet site. For savings on all things Disney (including vacation information), try the MouseSavers site.

• Dennis spent two years of grade school at the American International School of Zagreb.

• For the geeks ... Without your knowledge or explicit permission, the Windows networking technology which connects your computer to the Internet may be offering some or all of your computer's data to the entire world at this very moment! Shields UP is an eye-opener and will tell you if there are any security holes in your PC. A FALSE sense of security is worse than being unsure.

• Need to look up a computer related term? Try WhatIs.com.

• OK, here's another geeky site! It's Kartoo, which is a meta search engine for the web. Enter your name or a item to search for to get a graphical map representation of the search results. Not quite sure what to make of this, but it's interesting. Go ahead, try some egosurfing.
