favorites - The Internet Health Library (it's searchable too):

As long as I am mentioning health websites... AnswerMed's objective

questions about common illnesses, injuries and procedures.

T-mail is translating the Internet (their words, not mine)... Anyway,
T-mail is pretty cool. It's a free service that translates email
messages in several languages. T-mail offers some other neat
services too and there are a few ways to use them. Check out T-text,
T-board and T-sail too... Pretty cool!

I have to admit that until recently I haven't been much of a fan of
the GeoPortals. However, I think the folks at GeoPortals are making
some huge strides in providing some pretty good sites! I see a lot
of similarity to ABOUT.COM (another portal type site that I didn't
like at first - but now I am a huge fan of about.com). If you were
like me and didn't find too much use for these places or if you
haven't seen them in a while, they are worth a visit now!
The GeoPortals:

About.com has put together some of the best collections of resources
on a large variety of topics! About.com guides really do try to
help. I have emailed questions to about.com guides and received
prompt courteous replies with good information.

Find Tutorials claims to have "The biggest database of free tutorials
on the internet with thousands of free guides and tutorials listed in
hundreds of categories." Find Tutorials is also searchable - I could
spend a lot of time at this place!

Do you like cows? Well, if you don't like cows I suppose you could
skip this next one. Big Dave's Cow Page has cow-related info on the
Web. It's mostly just fun stuff with some cow pictures, cow sounds
and a little cow humor, but there's a couple of links to actual, even
possibly useful, cow information.
