These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Whiskers on kittens? Warm woolen mittens? These are not my favorite things. Nah, this week, I decided that I should share my favorite websites- the ones that are constantly open in tab form on Firefox- and my favorite TV shows.





INTARWEBZ
First

http://www.facebook.com

It's an obvious choice. 'Nuff said.



Second

http://www.instructables.com

Perhaps this is the best DIY website. Evah. They're the same people who own MAKE magazine and where I meet all of my creative DIY needs.



Third

http://www.engadget.com

For nearly all of my tech needs. Engadget (coupled with gizmodo.com) keeps me abreast with everything tech that I need to know.



Fourth

http://www.gmail.com

Quite simply the best email client available.



Fifth

http://www.apple.com

If you even have to ask why I say Apple, consider scheduling more time to talk to me. We need to talk.






TELL-A-VISSON
First

Ace Of Cakes

Duff Goldman is my hero. Charm City Cakes makes completely custom cakes to order that are insanely detailed. Pure genius.



Second

Ninja Warrior

G4, the gaming network, has given me reason to live. Ninja Warrior inspires me to get up and live. Or attempt crazy obstacle courses for no cash prize. Either or.



Third

Good Eats

Alton Brown is perhaps the reason I am into cooking. His show (though he doesn't know it) is primarily about molecular gastronomy. What is molecular gastronomy? Why it's the chemistry of cooking. Enough of wishing your cooking well- Alton Brown teaches why that sauce went bad and how to fix it- all of this with hilarious trivia and light humor.



Fourth

Junkyard Wars

Being an avid DIY freak, the idea of taking junk and repurposing (BUZZ WORD!) them for something far cooler- I'm down with that.



So, when the dog bites, the bee stings, or when you're just feeling sad- check out my favorite things.
