An eclectic mix of things that interest Dave.

Interesting Links

Here I continue my eclectic mix of things that don't go together—except for the fact that they interest me in one way or another.  If you’ve got a site you think I’d find interesting, let me know.

Wikipedia

Need to look some information up?  Try the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit.  There’s lots of interesting stuff out there.  And if you find something that’s not there, you can add it (once you find it somewhere else).

Trillian

Need a fully featured, stand-alone, skinnable chat client that supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo Messenger, and IRC.  Take a look at Trillian and forget all the others.  And yes, there’s a free version!

Puns!

If you like puns, or simply need a bit of mental abuse, visit this site and get your fill!  Some of these are just too punny.

 

Local NPR and PBS Stations

I often enjoy listening to and watching my local NPR and PBS stations much more than other stations.  Here are links to them.          Indiana Public Radio (IPR)                     WIPB TV

A Walk Across America

Don Vermilyea is on a mission— he’s chosen to walk across America visiting every Church of the Brethren congregation that extends an invitation.  Don’s mission has a message—that we must continue the work of Jesus: Peacefully, Simply, Together.  Don took the bus from his home in West Virginia the last day of January 2002 to Tucson, Arizona where the Walk began February 2, 2002.  It will continue until the mission has been accomplished.  If it doesn’t end early, the estimated completion date is 2011 or 2012.

Dave’s Personality Traits

The Johari Window was invented by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingram in the 1950s as a model for mapping personality awareness.  By describing yourself from a fixed list of adjectives, then asking your friends and colleagues to describe you from the same list, a grid of overlap and difference can be built up.  Come tell me what you think of me, and then see what others have said.

The WayBack Machine
