That Which Is Not A Hotlist

A bunch of information and links that may or may not be useful to you. They're potentially useful to me, so I figure they may well be of use to y'all, too. (Really, they're mostly links to places with lots of links, but my logic is, why repeat what's already been done?)

Information that may well be useful in searches for things

• For those who might want info on that fine place in which I live, here's a bunch of Boston links I stuck together.
• The Nynex Yellow Pages.
• Here's stuff for airlines and airports and such.
• The US Post Office. Zip codes and rates and, um, other stuff.
• And for you phone folks, here's an Area Code finder.
• Oodles of women's resources on the net. Right about here.
• Your package lost? Or are you just worried about it? Check Fed Ex.
• Want a weather forecast?
• Quotations. Bartlett's Quotations.
• U.S. Laws. The House also has a bunch of laws up, and not just U.S. laws.
• Well, this is more like it'd be useful to someone else . Here's the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Hey. The web's not all ego trips...
• Since my ex-housemate Kath took all her dictionaries away (don't worry, it was an amicable seperation), I need this dictionary a lot more than when she lived with us.
  
• For the road trippers out there, here's some someting that has Amtrak info . (And here's the less useful official Amtrak site.) For those who rely on cars, there's a WWW speedtrap registry, for those who might stretch the definition of the speed limit a bit.
• No, I don't know why you'd need a list of 800 numbers. But hey, you never know...
• A list of non-profits on the net.
• A Search Engine. Heck, here's a whole flock of them.
• No link to Yahoo.

Some Activist Related Information Storehouses

• Bewaaare. They wanna regulate the 'net. Here's folks fighting that. Along the same lines, the EFF is important.
• And here's some stuff on PGP encryption that I must read. Well, so should you, but anyway.
• Feminist links 'o rama.
• And a US/Russian friendship thingy.
• Know thy enemy. The American Family Association, home of Donald Wildmon. *shudder*
• The Supreme Court, and the U.S. House.
• Oh, yes. Advertising in its place is not bad. Advertising where it shouldn't be is. Hence, the blacklist of internet advertisers.
• Charles Haynes' radical sex page. My god, talk about your extensive pages... Elf Sternberg has some useful stuff, too.
• Wow, I could lose my eyesight from squinting at their font, but these guys have a good general info page on the Reactionary Right.
• Congressional Bills! And the Congressional Record, a magazine which supposedly keeps track of what goes on in the House. Not that it does , because Congressmen can up and change anything they damn well please in the Record, willy nilly, accuracy and the truth be damned.
• Read banned books. Only way I know of to fight censorship on a grass roots level... (Yes, I am prone to random political rants. Why do you ask?)

Other Information Storehouses You May Not Have Noticed

• The Internet Movie Database is highly addictive. Wander and wander and wander through it. There's also a list of lesbigay movies that's, well, not as interesting.
• And here's an online newspaper, for those who want to be up to date and aren't near any other sources of info.

• Tom Lehrer lyrics...

Humor And Such
