websites you recommend
Any websites you would recommend? (Other than CAA, which I'll take as a given.)
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence.

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.

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.

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.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

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.

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."

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.

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.
