The Obligatory Links Page
Some interesting sites to check out, in no particular order.

Waterloo Records and Video
A great independent record store in Austin, Texas. Where vinyl is alive and well, plus great selections of CDs and DVDs..

Realmac Software
Maker of RapidWeaver, the program I used to create this site. If you have an apple computer and want to create a website without learning to write HTML code, this software is for you. Reasonably priced and easy to use. I waited years for something like this.
website

Burning Galileo Films
Independent filmmakers with some projects for sale. One feature, F-Stops, is already "in the can."
website

Independent Movie Database
Everyone who loves movies constantly visits this site. It has more information than you can imagine.

Jonathan Cainer's Zodiac Forecasts
Entertaining (and free) daily and weekly horoscopes. He's located in the UK, so for those in the Western Hemisphere, you can "cheat" by getting your horoscope one day early, and contemplate it overnight. You can pay money to get in-depth readings, but I have never done that, so I can't speak to it.

Which Star Wars Character or Superhero Are You Most Like?
The answer to both questions is within your reach. Go
HERE for Star Wars and HERE for your Superhero match. The makers of this site also have a very informative website for their computer business, and includes advice on website advertising.

California Earthquakes
Yes, there really are earthquakes in California, and they happen every day. This United States Geological Service website lists the locations of earthquakes and their magnitudes that have occurred during the past hour, day and week.

Wil Wheaton's Blog
The actor who played Wesley Crusher in Star Trek: The Next Generation, has gone on to become a successful writer, and was a relatively early blogger. This self-described "geek" posts at least every couple of days on a wide range of topics. For whatever reason, reading his site prompted me to finally put this site up.
website

Mendocino Massage
Danielle Belinger may very well be the best massage therapist in California. She is particularly good at "deep tissue" and "acupressure" massage. Go to her website to make an appointment for the next time you visit Mendocino.

California Highway Conditions
Before you head out for a scenic drive on California's backroads, or for that matter, take any long trip in California by car, check the CalTrans site for current highway conditions. Just type in the numbers for the highways you hope to use, and you will be told if there is a flood, landside or road work which will slow you down. Especially on Highway 1, landslides are fairly common, so it doesn't hurt to check to make sure the part of the road you hope to use is still there. website
