And not to be outdone...some of my favorite sites

Since Beav is spouting some of his favorite PG-13 sites, I though so would I.

In the vein of IMDB, here are a couple great sites for those more inclined to the small screen vice the silver:

Sitcoms Online
--for, uhmm, sitcoms
TV Tome
-- all-inclusive site...has full episode guides

For those that enjoy their potent potables (damn you, Alex Trebek!) we have Webtender

For general research:
Webster's Online Dictionary
---more than just definitions

and

Wikipedia
--a really good user-written encyclopedia

And a site recommended by my daughter, for muggles who need to brush up on all things Potter:

Harry Potter Lexicon

All for now,

Domo arigato

Isn't technology great?!

Just think, 20 years ago if a man were to sit on a park bench and philosophize to no one, or to stand on a street corner and argue with the wife that left him 10 years earlier, or to sit in the subway and complain about how the government was tracking his every move; he would definitely be considered in need of serious psychological help.

But now, thanks to the computer and internet (and don't forget the cable modem), that same man can sit in the comfort of his own home/apartment, and carry on that same one-sided conversation and he is considered technologicaly savvy and a modern man.

Either technology has integrated the paranoid schizophrenics into the on-line society, or it has created new ones.

Just remember, Mr. Roboto was a modern man too.
