This page contains a list of WWW sites that do not fit elsewhere in the hierarchy of my site.

Government

• The IRS actually has a good web site. Once you have the Adobe Acrobat reader, you can download all of the IRS forms and print them out on your laser or inkjet printer. It saved me a few trips down to the post office.
• The Bureau of Justice Statistics collects plenty of criminal justice information to quote during your next political argument.
• THOMAS is the legislative information server for the US Congress. There is a lot of material here, but navigating this site can be confusing at times.

Mindless Fun

• Charlie Parker's Argon Zark! web comic has great-looking artwork and a wild (but humerous) plot. I only wish pages could come out faster.
• Robix makes the RCS-6 robot construction set. I don't have one (yet), but I did order the $3 video. The tape shows some interesting robot designs and contains a tutorial that gives a pretty good idea of the set's capabilities.

Weather

• Michigan State University's weather site has many great weather maps and raw and processed satellite imagery for you to download. Be sure to check out the World Wide Montage - JPEG (~80 KB) or GIF (~85 KB).
• CNN also has a good weather section that includes forcasts for major US cities and frequently updated radar and satellite images for the US. This site is somewhat easier to use than the MSU site described above.
• Virtual Hawaii has weather information, several remote camera views and virtual tours. URL given is for US mainland mirror site.

Maps

• MapQuest has amazingly complete street maps for the entire continental US.
• The Xerox PARC center's map server provides a resource that you can call from your web pages to create maps on the fly. For example, a map of England.
