My Bookmarks

I pretty much go to the same handful of sites everyday. My e-mail, my blog, moblog, and flickr, Jumo's Blog, Kent and Mitch's moblogs, Digg, Engadget, Penny Arcade, Lethbridge weather, and of course Facebook. But here are my other bookmarks...

  1. Community Savings and RBC Online Banking
    • I do 98% of my banking and bill paying online. Way easier/faster/1337...
  2. Blogger
    • To do all my blogging for your enjoyment!
  3. Chris's Blog
    • My blog... yes, I have it bookmarked
  4. Kent's Blog
    • His old photography site that he doesn't use anymore. He said he was gonna start using it again so I bookmarked it again... only to be let down. It will be deleted Kent if you don't start using it.
  5. Jumo's Blog
    • An amazing read. He's got great things to say and is an excellent writer. Awesome stuff bro! I love it.
  6. Mitch's Blog
    • A seemingly dead blog lately. I make my way over there every once and awhile. He's got mad skillz and keeps me comin' back. Just a blog about... anything. Much like mine. Mitch was the first of my friends to start blogging, and I took after once I moved to Lethbridge.
  7. Flickr
    • Flickr is a great site for posting and sharing photos. The best I've come across yet. It's also what I, and many others use for a moblog (A mobile blog. Somewhere to post camera phone pictures to from you're cell)
  8. Brandon Beradent's Flickr
    • Brandon AKA Big Boppin' Brandon is a wicked photographer. You can see some really great BMX photos at his Flickr.
  9. Mark Esau's Flickr
    • Just some random shots Mark takes. Boys got skill
  10. Chris's Flickr
    • My flickr. I love to take pictures and sharing them with people. This is just some shots I take that I like. A lot of scenery and my motorcycle. HAHA
  11. Mitch's Moblog
    • Mitch Cave's moblog. A glimpse into this mobile life in Calgary.
  12. MitchCave.com | SV650S
    • Mitch's personal website. All about his love, his SV. Lists of mods done to her, lots of pictures, and also he VLog. Which is pretty cool. All done while riding his SV with a mounted camera and in-helmet microphone.
  13. Kent's Flickr
    • Kent Bernadent's moblog. Photographic biography of his life in Kelowna BC
  14. The Weather Network: Lethbridge/Calgary/Shaunavon
    • Put simply, these are the only places I care what the weather is doing on a day to day basis.
  15. 600RR.net
    • A motorcycle forum dedicated solely to the Honda CBR600RR (Best bike out there in my humble opinion.) It's great for getting pretty much any question answered that you have about the machine. Also good for getting ideas for mods and whatnot.
  16. Addiciting Games
    • Yes, I have AG bookmarked... because sometimes you get THAT bored that you just need to play a Flash game where a money throws darts at balloons!
  17. Cloak IP.net
    • For the times you are up to some shady business. It's a site that allows you to surf behind an online proxy server. Worry free about getting your IP tracked!
  18. Digg
    • One of my biggest online addictions. Digg is a social new bookmarking site that is completely editor free. All the stories are submitted and voted on by it's users. If you like a story, you "Digg it". The more diggs a story gets, the higher it's rank gets. If it gets enough diggs, it gets promoted to the homepage. If you ever get to the homepage, you better have enough juice in your servers, because if you don't that sucker is gonna crash! It's an excellent site and was started by one of my idols, Kevin Rose. He IS the man. Dark tipper FTW!
  19. eBay
    • Need I say more? eBay is epic. I do a lot of my shopping on eBay. I usually check eBay first for things I need. If it's not there, I go elsewhere. From jeans to bike parts, It's the best, hands down. Plus getting into a bidding war for something with only minutes to go is almost better than sex! HAHA.
  20. eHow
    • This is a newly found site I came across. It's got tons of online tutorials on how to do different things. From installing tubs to how to cook a turkey. It kinda handy every once and awhile.
  21. Facebook
    • Ah Facebook. How did I get through my day without you? If you haven't heard or are currently not on Facebook, crawl out from under that rock you are living under and get your shit together. It's a great site for keeping in touch with people, posting pictures, and for the odd profile creeping. Don't judge me, you do it too...
  22. Lethbridge Movie Times
    • Google for the win again. Just type into Google "{city} movie times", and it will show you all the movies playing at all the theaters in that city. It's rather handy.
  23. MirrorNation
    • If you don't know, I love Diggnation. Diggnation is a podcast about the social new bookmarking site, Digg.com (That's D-I- Double G . com) It's done by Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht (Former TechTV hosts). It's pretty much those two guys sitting on a couch somewhere (Usually San Fransisco or LA. The odd Japan or Great Britain) drinking beers and talking about stories from Digg. It's stupidly funny and I love it. I look forward to it every Sunday. I have yet to miss an episode since it's beginning, and am anxiously awaiting Episode 119. Check it out for sure! Anyway, I got off track. You need to download Diggnation to watch it. If you pay a membership fee for Revision3, you can get it on Sunday, if you don't have one, you have to wait until Tuesday... and I hate waiting, and I certainly hate paying for things online. So what do I do? I pirate it off MirrowNation. It's just a site that offers Diggnation on Sunday for all the non-paying viewers. It's uses "mirrors" so it can't be shut down directly. It's great for what I need it to do.
  24. Plyrics
    • THE best site for getting punk lyrics for your songs. I use it all the time. Songs are regularly updated, many times before the songs are actually released.
  25. SASBA
    • Southern Alberta Sport Bike Association. A site for all the sport bike riders in Southern Alberta. Influenced greatly by Saskatchewan Sport Bike Association. Just a great place to talk motorcycles, plan trips and rides, and share info about riding sport bikes, which I love to do.
  26. SSBA
    • Saskatchewan Sport Bike Association. The original. Great site. Another online addiction, introduced to me by Mitch. Same premise as SASBA, but for all the Sask riders.
  27. ShinyStat
    • ShinyStat is an application on my blog that tracks the statistics of the traffic. How many hits I get, how many users are online, what OS they use, how the got to my site, what online browser they are using. It even shows me your ISP (Internet service provider) and location. It's very comprehensive. You get even more features if you pay for the Premium package. If you haven't noticed on my blog it is the blue stat bar at the never bottom of the page. Clicking on it will show you all the different stats about my blog.
  28. Internet Movie Database (IMDb)
    • IMDb is great for finding info on pretty much any movie. Getting reviews, cast listings, plot summaries etc. It's handy.
  29. QuickSilverScreen
    • QSS is a place to watch a bunch of different TV shows online, for free. They have over 408 shows with 6221 episodes. The odd links doesn't work as it is probably very illegal but over all most work fine. Awesome time killer.
  30. Revision3
    • Rev3 is Kevin Roses internet start-up company he created. It hosts many great Tech and Entertainment podcasts and online shows. Also the home Diggnation!
  31. WebMD
    • WebMD is an online medical information site. It has tons of information about anything about health, drugs, diseases, etc. Anything to do with you and your health pretty much. It's nice because you can surf and get information confidentially. So the next time you find yourself saying "What the hell is the red rash?!", hit up WebMD first and go from there! ;)
  32. Webopedia
    • Webopedia is a site that answers many-a-computer question. If you need a tech question answered about what something stands for or what something does or how something works, check out Webopedia.
  33. XE
    • XE is an online currency converter. Simply put. It's fast simple and easy. I used it frequently.
  34. YouTube
    • YouTube is... YouTube. Videos of anything and everything.
  35. Torrents:
    1. BT Torrent.org
    2. isoHunt
    3. The Pirate Bay
    4. Torrent Finder
    5. Torrent Spy
      • All used to find and download torrents for downloads. You can get ANYTHING you want to download off one of these sites. Be it a thousand dollar photo editing program, or Miss Pac Man. Used along side of uTorrent, these sites are great for downloading.
That does it for my bookmarks, for the most part. There are more, very random sites I use, but my list is long enough and many of them are not relevant to anything. Hope you enjoyed my list. Go to them, use them. A lot of them make life easier for you, and you might ever learn a thing or to from them.
