I found a neat website that has a pretty interesting animation on the history of manned flight. It won't exactly blow your socks off or anything, but it's still pretty neat. Unfortunately, it doesn't have much in the way of helicopters, which is unfortunate. But, it starts in ancient China and goes all the way up to 2007 with the first flight of the Airbus A380. Pretty neat.
Well, today is Black Friday. Always an interesting day. Nothing but shopping for most people. I don't get it. Why would you want to get up at 4:00AM (or earlier!) and go shopping?
I'm sure the deals are good, but not only are you up at an ungodly early hour, but so are 5,000 other people, most of whom are either as eager or more eager to get the goods as you. You'd think people would cut back on the tradition with the invention of internet shopping, but doesn't it seem like it's gotten worse and worse every year? It's unbelievable. I'm going away for Christmas, so I need to get my shopping done earlier. But, I'm going to be relying mostly on the ol' internets to get my shoppings done.
In case you were wondering, I do have my list of favorite shopping sites:
Amazon.com for most things, especially books and music; used most frequently
Newegg.com for anything computer related; not used much for other people
Pricegrabber.com for things I want to save money on; used frequently
Ebay for personal items that aren't needed right away
Buy.com for most things, though I rarely use it
Overstock.com for some decent savings; used infrequently
Google Maps to find the stores that sell expensive things that I don't trust being shipped
