CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Any websites you would recommend? (Other than CAA, which I'll take as a given.)

Google.

Recommend for... anything specific? But three things occur to me offhand.

Dictionary.com: It's simple to use and I wish people would. Easy way to check if you're using the correct word or even spelling (though a search engine is easier in that regard). Or you could improve your vocabulary. Again, I wish more people would use it.

Bible Gateway: Good for those times you can't remember the location of the verse but you know what it says.

Wikipedia: I wouldn't quote it in an academic paper, but as a general resource I wouldn't complain. Works as an encyclopedia or for questions about media like anime or manga.

Google is a good search engine, but any will do. It seems as though half the questions people ask could be answered in a few minutes if they just took the time to check.

Win. I love dictionary.com and have it in my clickable bookmarks. XD I use it as a dictionary all the time, plus it doubles as a thesaurus.

Anyways. My recommendations are as follows:

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja

Three words. Best. Webcomic. Ever. It's mostly clean, minus some mild language and violence.

del.icio.us

This is a pretty neat site that you can use to bookmark other sites you find. I decided to use it after my bookmarks were obliterated about three times. XD It's a good site.

I often check out people's LEGO creations on http://www.brickshelf.com and http://www.mocpages.com

http://www.smashboards.com If you like super smash brothers melee, or even smash 64,thats the end all site for it.

If you have a wii

http://Wiicade.com it has a bunch of flash games you can play with the wiimote.

http://www.Christiananime.net (Dont know what I'd do without it )

http://www.flashcardexchange.com A very good web-based flashcard site that I use for my Japanese studies. Uses the Leitner scheduling system for maximum memory recall. You can use this for anything you need to study and remember.

http://www.yesjapan.com This is one of the best ways to learn Japanese. 10 day trial to see for yourself

http://www.pandora.com I have been playing with this for a little while now. You type in all your favorite bands and songs and Pandora will use that to make a streaming internet radio station that plays songs you like. You can add, and approve and disapprove as you go along to fine tune it to your tastes.


http://reviews.cnet.com I use these reviews from CNET all the time before I buy a product or for recommending a product to others. Most of the products have a video to go along with it.


http://postsecret.blogspot.com This is an art project where people anomously send in their secrets on postcards. You can read stuff that a person has never told to one other person. It is very interesting. They are updated once a week. You can also buy the books at Amazon.com. Some of the cards have questionable content, but I would still recommend it.

http://www.cosplay.com The best cosplay forum site on the internet. All cosplayers should join if they don't already know about it.

http://www.engrish.com Always good for a laugh. One of my absolute favorite sites.

http://www.myspace.com/themusicalotaku I'm kinda partial to this one, too . . .

3 Quarks Daily: A variety of interesting articles culled from numerous sources.

Nature: One of the world's leading journals.

Science: The American counterpart of Nature.

ENN: Environmental News.

Gwynne Dyer: Easily one of the best commentators on foreign and military affairs.

Cocktail Party Physics: A variety of interesting (and light) articles about physics.

Real Climate: Intelligent articles on climate and global warming written by experts in the field.

Citeseer: An excellent search tool for thousands of academic papers in CS and EE.

PubMed: The same as above but for the life sciences. Abstracts only unfortunately.

http://etymonline.com Don't look at me like that, etymology is fun. Really.

http://frozenreality.co.uk/comic/bunny The book of random. Beware of the orange bunny.

http://www.drudgereport.com/ My online news source.

http://www.compfused.com

Good video site, usually clean.

http://www.cookingcute.com is a great place to find recipes for bento boxes. And some of the food is actually cute, just like the name suggests!

http://www.photopassjapan.com is a great place to find photos of Japan.

http://www.japanesegifts.com is a great place if you're looking for Japanese items. They're a little pricey but shipping was quick and they include a little piece of Flower's Kiss candy with each order. ^.^

http://www.spiritdaily.com has spiritual news from around the world (and my mom's webpage about our mission trip once made the top headline!)

http://www.therebelution.com/modestysurvey is a website featuring the results to a very big Christian modesty survey. If any Christian girls out there were wondering what sort of clothing men consider modest or immodest, this is a great place to look and find out.

http://www.pluggedinonline.com/movies/index.cfm gives Christian reviews of movies in theaters and other things like music and telelvision shows (through the top menu buttons).

http://www.usgs.gov is the site for the United States Geological Survey. Pretty much anything that has to do with geography is here, including a very cool world earthquake map, featuring earthquakes that happened as recently as the previous hour.

http://www.yahoo.com/

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/

http://www.woot.com This is a pretty fun site. They sell one thing each day. It is cool stuff sometimes.

http://www.x-entertainment.com - Matt writes very funny articles about 70s/80s/90s nostalgia. There's lots of profanity thrown around though, so be careful if you can't take it.

http://www.livejournal.com - What can I say, I'm addicted to LJ.

Hmm...

I can only think of... none, really...

Well there is this place I go and lurk at every week called Theologyweb.
Then you could also try Sailor Dove's site,it's pretty good.I go there to check out
the quiz results. and compare them with the results I get on the same quizzes.
If you are interested in theology from a Reformed perspective check out the
Riddleblog,he always has some interesting and fun stuff up.Planet Zot has an interesting Ranma 1/2 Tic Tac Toe game.Anime Cafe is always good,especially the
Parents' Guide.
A couple of other good sites with forums are:Dualfans and Abhnation.
Finally check out Dr.Zebra's website if you want to know about the diseases and ailments of all of our Presidents.

http://www.woot.comshirt.woot - Like woot.com, only with shirt. I love random shirts.

I've found some fun sites myself looking through this list. I'd never seen the RBB before.

Wikipedia is full of win and awesome.

Anyways, I was skimming through this thread and didn't see Homestar Runner anywhere.

Shame on you people.

I go to TheOtaku.com for the quizzes.We-Love-Anime has a really nice image gallery which is where I ran across Hell Girl,Narutaru,Nazca and Neo-Ranga and
other anime titles that I have never heard of before.I also like Anime Planet's
Recommendation Database.

I forgot about this one until now, because I hardly ever watch movies. However...

http://www.metacritic.com

Excellent site for movie/media reviews. For me it is much more helpful than any individual review. So far I think their weighted average generally matches how I feel about the films, plus they have a lot more specific information.

Thanks everyone! Some great sites, most of which I'd never heard of before.

Also,
http://www.silenthillforum.co.uk
is probably the best forum site for Silent Hill geeks.
