Links

I spend a lot of time online, probably more than I should.  But it means that I have lots of neat links saved in my browser favorites, some that I have decided to share!

Bear Creek Bible Church - the church Dan and I go to (and are now officially members as of the beginning of May!)

The Animal Rescue Site - your daily click can help feed animals in need

Merriam-Webster Dictionary Online - a comprehensive online dictionary/thesaurus

eBay.com - a great place to find out of print crochet patterns, hard-to-find language books, and almost anything else you can think of!

Half.com - a sister site to eBay, this is a great place to buy books, movies, etc, usually cheaper than you can get anywhere else

Talk Radio 570am - listen live to Greg Knapp, Dr. Laura and others

Sparknotes - this site's study guide can be accessed free online, along with the full text of many classic novels (such as Jane Eyre, A Tale of Two Cities, Huckleberry Finn, Les Miserables, Paradise Lost and even Shakespearian plays)

Japanese News in English:

The Japan Times Online - an English newspaper published daily in Japan

Asahi Shimbun - a site interesting for it's Vox Populi, Vox Dei section.  Known as Tensei-Jingo in Japanese, it's a short daily column that can be found in English and Japanese to practice either language or just to see what is going on in the minds of the Japanese.

Japanese National Tourist Organization - a great on-line source listing places to see, things to do and other information helpful in planning a trip to Japan

Japanese Language Learning Links:

Yomiuri's Pera-Pera Penguin - short lessons to improve your Japanese

The Japanese Page - books, online study guides, electronic dictionaries

Japan Times Book Club - a place to find books on Japan and Japanese

Engrish.com - A site with no redeeming social value, it a fun place to see some very inventive Engrish (or Japanese English) in Japan (and all over the world!)

Web Graphics:

Absolute Background Textures Archive - a great site that has TONS of background textures for websites (or whatever you want to use them for)

Pat's Web Graphics - another really cool site that has all sorts of fun 

School Icons - this site has more cutesy graphics - very fun

Cute Colors - this site has some of the cutest little animal images
