Links

Every site will have the quintessential page that contains links to pages that they enjoy, and so I guess I'm presenting to you guys my links.  Visit them if you want, and enjoy them.

The Obligatory Links to Pages of People I Know

Non Wash U Peeps (that phrase is currently cool, right?)
*Yoji Asamizu's web page -- this is kind of ridiculous, he's at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, one of the techiest schools ever, majoring in Computer Engineering, and this is the best he can come up with?  It's disappointing.  I HOPE YOU'RE READING THIS, YOJI!  Last updated September of 1999?
*paultyng.com -- this guy's a Grade A computer guy.  I think he's going to Miami at Ohio, but I'm not sure -- he's pretty non-committal about everything.  I do know he hasn't gone to college yet and he's already been offered 80 thou to work at some software company, plus stock options.  Impressive, but he's still a bum.

Where Andy Goes to Buy Crap Online

Wear Clothes Like Andy Does!
*Banana Republic -- yeah, I know it's purely blatant capitalism directly padding the pockets of "the man," but there's nothing like a good shirt, or a nice pair of pants.  I shop here a lot and I like it, so don't bother calling me a "yuppie" or anything like that.  I recommend getting yourself something nice here once in a while.
*J. Crew -- again, I'm aware that it's purely capitalistic and I'm overspending, but I only buy "nice" things, and besides, if I do get clothes, it's now almost exclusively from the fine establishment just above.  But I still check out J. Crew once in a while.

Books, Music, and More
* Lists of novels to read, or so they say.

* A Harper's Article written by Jonathan Franzen, an author I'm currently reading.

* No, not Borders anymore, I dig on Amazon.com, and get my new music and books from here.  Check out my wish list any time you want.
*ebay -- sometimes I check out what's for sale here ... not often though.
*gamestop -- for you computer people, this is where *I* get my entertainment software.

Fun Places to Hang Out

Places With Info on Music I Jam to
*Dido -- this is a pretty neat looking page that has some pretty good info on one of my new favorite musicians.  I tell you what, Dido is a great singer with a great voice with some really nice, mellow tunes.  Definitely worth checking out.
*Enya -- not just one of my favorite Celtic singers, she's one of my favorite singers.  Period.  For some reason or another, I just can't get enough Enya.  Check out this most definitive Enya site to get all the info on her.
*Hooverphonic -- I like Hooverphonic, but not as much as this girl does.  She does design a mean web site, which is a good thing, and she's a fan of mellow, "trippy" music like Dido plays.  I give this web site some award for superior design.  I also give her an award for good taste in music.

Places for Computer Nerds Like Me
*The Driver Guide -- if something's wrong with your system, and you're missing a file, you might be able to find it here -- I keep it handy just in case.
*Windows Update -- yeah, I know it's all propaganda and a huge monopoly, but the better my Windows runs, the happier I will be.  I go here to make WIndows run better.
*TechEmail.com -- I don't really hang out at this site a lot, but I got a pretty cool email address from here, andrewfoerster@techemail.net ... I never check it, but it's cool knowing that I have it.
*DLL Archive -- another site that has a bunch of files that you might need in case something goes wrong with your system.

If You Watch TV or Movies ...
*The Greatest Films -- all about the best movies ever made, and then some ... a worthwhile site.
*Commercial Music -- a relatively complete and a very rare list of music from TV commercials.
*Roger Ebert and the Movies -- the only man I trust in movie reviews and some other guy (who, I'll say, is pretty good also).
*Roger Ebert's Newspaper Column -- I usually check here for the bottom line on current movies.
*Twin Peaks -- I watched some episodes with my dad "back in the day," but they didn't really sink in (I was pretty young, I think), but after researching quite possibly the trendiest show ever, I've developed a deep interest for the show, mostly because it's so enigmatic and interesting.

Sites to See if You're a Cartoon Addict Like Me
**Cartoon Network -- another thing we can thank Ted Turner for ... Cartoon Network is wicked cool.
*Kids WB -- home of Pokémon, which is entertaining, and Batman Beyond, which is very entertaining.
*Fox Kids -- home of Digimon, which is entertaining, and sadly not much more.
*  Well, now that you think that I'm either a complete dork, or some cute, cuddly kid at heart, I'll just say, I like cartoons.
