Blogs & Other Websites That I Read
I thought I would just go over a few places on the web that I check out often. I'll start with the blogs:
Bright Lights Lots of Thoughts - This blog is written by my wife, Yvonne. We've been married for 8 months now. She is a woman who is not afraid to speak her mind on most anything. She has some interesting opinions on lots of topics. She mostly uses the blog to talk about whatever comes to mind, but there are also a few posts about the stupid crap that my ex-wife has been pulling lately.
The Wizard of Speed and Time - This blog is penned by my younger brother, Peter. He is a lawyer living with his family in the burbs of Chicago. Many posts about odd news stories or pictures, or the quick blurb about his kids. Go congratulate him on his first win as a lawyer.
Ohh A Penny! - This blog is written by my older brother, Paul. Mainly posts about music, or trips, or whatever else comes to mind. Quite an interesting read.
King of Diamonds and Gower Street - Both of these blogs are authored by Jay Fout. He is a Episcopal Priest that lives across the lake in Saint Joseph, Michigan. I went to high school with Jay and he is a good friend of both me and Pete. From what I've read, King of Diamonds is more personal stuff and very light-weight. Gower Street tends to lean towards religious or political topics or other such concepts. While I tend to not be overly political or religious, it makes for very interesting reading.
Other websites that I periodically check out:
Gamespot - Gamespot is (in my opinion) the best website that deals with console or computer games and gaming products. My family has a PS2, Gamecube, Xbox, Gameboys and a PC and all the kids, except for David, love to play games. This site has it all: Reviews, Previews, FAQs, Walkthroughs, Ratings, etc. And it's free!
Tom's Hardware Guide - Since I'm a computer geek at heart, this site is great for reading up on the latest gadgets for PCs. They also have a review section and lots of other good info about what's out there.
NewEgg - The best site to purchase computer parts, software, etc. online. Excellent prices, huge selection and good shipping. An excellent site.
Wizkids - My wife and I have been playing Wizkids games since 2002. We play every Sunday at Astro City Comics and Games near Chicago. Collectible miniatures games. Both of us play MechWarrior, Mage Knight, & Pirates.
Ebay - Both my wife and I buy and sell on Ebay. Check out sellers bluelark or magicalsprite to see if we have anything you might be interested in.
Let me know if you have some good sites to check out. Thanks.
