In no particular here are my top 5 websites for the month of September 2010. Since the internet is a constantly changing beast
5) TED.com:
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment & Design. It's a mixture of a non-profit/conference/meeting-place-for-the-most-intelligent/interesting-people-on-the-planet. The great thing about the site that you'll notice as soon as you arrive is it has videos on just about every topic you can think about - from Tony Robbins talking about how his conference during 9/11 dramatically changed once he made the announcement about the twins towers - to - Astronomer Martin Rees talking about the universe and the future of the human race - to - anything and everything in-between.
If you want to learn something more about yourself and/or the world around you check out TED.
4) Dave Ramsey.com:
If there is one man who has helped me improve my life for the better in the past 5 years I would have to say Dave Ramsey has had the most influence by far. Dave Ramsey was once a debt-ridden millionaire, went bankrupt (due to the debt) and became a millionaire again completely on a cash-only basis. About 5 years ago I was scared; I was $18,000 in debt making about $22,000 a year. Since picking up my first Dave Ramsey book I've become a lot more confident with money; that first figure has gone down to $0 and the latter figure has gone up dramatically. Dave philosophy is basically the only kind of "good debt" is no debt at all. I listen to his podcast religiously and love listening until he starts his rants about politics...which happens from time to time.
If you want to stop trying to get your money right and just get your money right - listen to Dave.
3) The Onion.com:
Branded "America's Finest News Source" with headlines like How To Play Golf Against The Man Whose Wife You're Banging On The Side , Department Of Defense Unveils $83 Million Thing That Shoots and Dad Recounts Amazing Story Of How, Through Quick Thinking, He Saved $4.27 it's easy to see the writers have a sense of humor. If you enjoy satire like myself this is the best place, other than the Daily Show to get your fake news. The Onion itself started out as a fake newspaper at the University of Wisconsin -Madison in the late 80's and has since expanded into a NYC-based tabloid newspaper with the online component that includes radio & video fake news. I first came across it while working in Chicago where they pass out free copies at several locations. My favorite "headline" is still from October of 2000 (a week before the Bush/Gore election): 'Decision 2000' Actually Made In Smoke-Filled Room In 1997
If you like your satirical news The Onion is your source.
2) Weebly.com:
If you want to make free website but flunked your classes on CSS, Flash and HTML just let Weebly do it for you. Now keep in mind if you want it completely free you'll have to deal with having a small link at the bottom of you site announcing it was created by Weebly. However, for less than some people (like my wife) spend on coffee in a month you can pay to take that advertisement off for 6 months. There are hundreds of different web design templates to choose from and it helps you had difficult to program things like forms, pictures and e-mail capture and so on.
If you need a website designed on the cheap use Weebly.
1) Stumbleupon.com:
Have you ever wished there was a "clicker" for your internet? Well there is, it's called stumbleupon and if you didn't find this site through stumbleupon, I strongly advise you download(signup for) this program now. Unlike searching on Google or Bing for things you think you want... stumbleupon takes you to sites you never would have found without having them randomly appear. You can choose your interests from Movies to Art to Computers and many more. You can also find random sites that have keywords you've listed. Based on your thumbs up or thumbs down you can make the site more or less popular amongst other stumblers. I in particular like art and have found so many great artists through this website.
If you bored, download stumbleupon...just don't get addicted.
