  • Apple.com
    YES, I am a MacAddict! And proud of it. I now have an incredibly cool laptop - an iBook/14.1 inch screen with 800Mhz processor, 640MB Ram and a CDRW/DVD. It's pure, unadulterated sweetness!
     

  • Unsanity.com
    These folks have created some of the absolute BEST little utilities (called Haxies) for customizing a Mac - including one program called Xounds that makes excellent use of the SoundSets I've created, available from the website below. There are not enough positive, glowing adjectives to describe these folks - they do a great job!
     

  • Sound Set Central
    This cool website houses hundreds and hundreds of Mac-related soundsets - for use with MS Entourage, MS Outlook Express and - my personal favorite - the Mac OS itself. Okay, okay, I'm a little biased - I submitted a soundset just last year based on the ultra-awesome game Myst, and it has become a rather popular download. Check it out!
     

  • MacAddict.com  
    The is a good site for all things Mac, after Apple.com, of course... these folks put out a pretty good monthly rag with a CD-rom chock full o' nuts, um... programs.
     

  • MacUpdate.com
    This is where I keep track of any software updates that are released for my Mac. It's very easy to use - and you can sign up and keep track of what software you've downloaded and follow the latest releases. Very handy!
     

  • ResExcellence.com 
    Sensing a pattern here? This is a great site for those who want to really tweak things on their Mac - this site has impressive and cool-looking modifications - some that are easy or merely cosmetic, and even some that are potential warranty voiders. Fun, fun!
     

  • Dallas Symphony Chorus
    Since November of 1995, I have been a Tenor in the DSC. I went to Israel in 1996 to sing with Zubin Mehta & the Israel Philharmonic and have sung in several concerts at Carnegie Hall, both with the Dallas Symphony and Opera Orchestra of New York. I am also the webmaster for this site.
     

  • University of Tulsa 
    I know, I know - it's a rival considering that I work at SMU - but, hey, it's my Alma Mater and I am a proud alum, especially when it comes to basketball...
     

  • WolfePack.org
    One of my favorite authors is Rex Stout, who wrote 72 amazing mysteries featuring a sedentary detective, Nero Wolfe, and written from the viewpoint of expanded "case notes" by Wolfe's assistant Archie Goodwin. This is the definitive website for all things Wolfe.
     

  • As the Apple Turns
    This has got to be one of the funniest Mac-related parody/rumor/"news" sites ever. The insightful (inciteful?) comments and observations about all-things-Mac are truly memorable, in an endearingly screwed-up way.
     

  • Broadband Reports
    Excellent forum and news site for learning how other folks deal with their internet connections, among many other topics, including a Mac-related forum. Lots of good comments, peppered with lots of trolls, too.
     

  • MacFixIt
    Comprehensive site for, well, just what they say they do - provide troubleshooting solutions for the Macintosh.
     

  • MacDailyNews
    How much fun can one web site have with pointing out the good, bad, ugly, and just downright scary when it comes to reporting Mac-related news. The comments from regulars (and the trolls, too) are quite entertaining.
     

  • Daring Fireball
    This guy has his s*** together. He pulls no punches, knows how to write (which is unusual in many cases) and tells it like it is not just in the Mac world, but in things technological and sometimes esoteric. You want a solid, well-thought out opinion or argument for or against a particular topic? This is the site to visit.
