My Favorite Websites
Reddit.com
Reddit is a website where its entire content is generated by its users. Any user can make a "subreddit" about anything they want and any user can post in any subreddit they wish. There is something for everyone on reddit, I particularly like the pics, funny, motorcycles, nba, earthporn, machineporn, engineering, and todayilearned subreddits. Users can upvote or downvote posts and comments thus sending the best content to the front page where it is most viewable.
KhanAcademy.org
One of my passions is our education system. This has grown from my ability to see the larger picture of systems engineering and not accepting the status quo. I am a huge proponent of open source content and I want to help the movement to make education free and accessible to everyone on earth. One of the best tools I have seen to do this is KhanAcademy. I have 85,000 energy points and counting. I have spent most of my time on statistics, finance, and calculus but one day I hope to have completed the whole academy. Furthermore I would like to make videos on mechanical and manufacturing engineering subjects of my own.
Mint.com
This was one of the greatest gifts Sharell has ever given to me. Boy oh boy was I in need of this. I don't use it to it's full potential but it helps me keep an eye on spending nonetheless. If you don't track your spending or plan your budget, you need to make an account today.
TED.com
Like the History channel? What about the discovery Channel? If you like to hear about cool things from smart people you should bookmark TED. They hold conferences where the leaders of our age discuss their specialties with the world. The talks are often engaging and ensightful, tackling the big issues of today and tomorrow.
Youtube.com
It has become more than just videos of cats and people falling down. People actually make a very comfortable living being vloggers, artists, and professional reviewers on youtube. I come here for the other part of my news and entertainment when I need to get away from reddit. My favorite channels are sxephil, destorm, cgpgrey, behind those three are expertvilliage, kinagrannis, kevjumba, and kassemg.
Dropbox.com
Ever forget that report or need to print out your resume but don't have your flashdrive? Dropbox is free online data storage which allows you to share folders and files with others easily. Watch the video!
Gmail/Google Calendar
I love google for many reasons - their sense of humor, their ambition, their ingenuity, their opensource environment to name a few - and the two tools I love most are their email client and their calendar tool. It is my opinion that there is not a better duo out there, especially with the direction technology is going. I have my emails automatically filtered, labelled, and sorted based on priority. I have dozens of calendars that
Fitocracy.com
I came across fitocracy a year or more ago I believe and really wanted to do it but had forgotten the name of the website. After many fruitless google searches I gave up searching for this fitness tracking/social networking site. Earlier this month Sharell shared it with me and I was stoked to come across it once again. Since then I have been logging my runs and bikes to school and gotten a few of my friends to join.
Blogger.com
I wish I was better about updating this blog. I think once I get a steady job and predictable routine I will improve at it. I really want to leave behind something for others to see and grow from. Having Sharell do such a fantastic job with her Blog keeps me inspired.
Fora.tv
The world is thinking. Fora let's you hear talks and discussions just like TED on a plethora of topics. Often more political than TED, I come to fora when TED didn't do the trick for me.
