Sites of the Moment

[elSicomoro]

Every now and then, I come across a site I want to share with people...then I forget it. Damnit!

I will use this new topic to post those sites that are either useful, funny, or just stupid. Feel free to contribute your own as well.

--I am an avid road geek. I like learning about highways, driving them, seeing pictures of them, whatever. By accident, I've become a regular on the misc.transport.road ng now. Here are a few of my personal faves:

kurumi.com: Contains the 3-digit interstate section. Very informative...more info than most people would care to know.

The End US Highway Page: A listing of all the US highways, with their beginning and endpoints...pics too in many cases.

The International House of Zzyzx: Lots of cool stuff beyond the Interstate Highway List

AARoads.com: Highway signs, photos, etc.

Other sites of interest or disinterest to you:

touristguy.com: I find this site to be ridiculously funny. Sort of a new version of "Where's Waldo?" (Note: photo heavy, takes a bit to load on 56K)

I am a fan of webcams (for the scenery...not the naked chicks):

View of the St. Louis skyline from the Mississippi River

The Nomecam (from Nome, Alaska)

Various webcams from the Buffalo area: I keep meaning to look at these during the day...I'm curious to see what it looks like up there right now.

The Wing Bowl website: The mere fact that this is listed under the "sports" section is funny enough. For non-Philadelphians, the Wing Bowl is an event hosted by 610-WIP sports radio. Leading up to the event, people try to qualify for it by eating a ton of food in a certain amount of time. Then, the qualifiers go to the Wing Bowl and try to eat the most chicken wings. This is the 10th year of the Wing Bowl, and it has grown to the point that it is held at the First Union Center, and attracted 12,000 people last year...at 6am in the morning. It is truly a spectacle...and only solidifies Philadelphia's place as the fattest city in the United States.
