Google
Apple?
Microsoft? Feh. This is where it's at.
Debian
The Queen Victoria of Linux
distributions. The venerable matriarch of
Ubuntu, Mint, and so many others. Oldest ride,
longest line.
Fedora
Open source. Secure. Cutting edge. Lean and mean. Beaucoup
free updates. Also: Linus'
distro of choice.
Manjaro
A user-friendly Arch takeoff? It's more likely than you
think. Bow down to the almighty AUR.
Amazon
You just never know what
kind of stuff you'll find there.
Google
News
The best news
aggregator out there. A little bit of this, a little bit
of that.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Biased or not, still
the best St. Louis news source out there.
Memphis
Commercial Appeal
Did I mention I lived
there for five years?
Southeast Missourian
The local rag.
A newspaper with a conservative editorial tilt, believe it
or don't.
KFVS-12
The local TV station, broadcasting from downtown Cape's
only skyscraper.
James
Lileks
My favorite writer
and humorist. He wrote a blog before anyone really
even knew what a blog was.
Dilbert
...usually hits a
little closer to home than it probably should.
Drudge Report
The second best news
aggregator out there. Like a broken clock, he's right at
least twice a day.
P.J.
O'Rourke
Another favorite writer and a big influence on my own
sorry attempts at literary fame. Recently deceased. I
would recommend pouring one out for my dead homey, but
P.J. would frown upon wasting liquor.
Douglas
Adams
"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has
made a lot of people very angry and has been widely
regarded as a bad move."
Carl
Hiaasen
Yet another favorite
writer, and an inspiration for my efforts at fiction.
The
Libertarian Republic
A one-stop-shop for all things libertarian (small and big
"l"), fronted by Missouri's own bad boy of liberty, Austin
Petersen.
Mississippi
River at Cape Girardeau
We don't
have an ocean, but we're definitely not landlocked.
Riverhouse
(Scott City, MO) live webcam
Speaking of that river, check out the view from one of my
favorite spots on the planet. Boats and trains and
bridges, oh my!
Recent
Earthquakes in the Central U.S.
At least we don't live in a solid brick house just a
stone's throw from the New Madrid Fault.
Wait...what?
