What follows are some links I go to pretty regularly. Many are are self-evident; others aren’t. But we waste enough time surfing as it is; if you go to investigate what’s behind these URLs, I can promise you are not only not wasting your time but you may very well discover something you need. (I’m not adding Google to the list; if you don’t know why….)
