Random Links

Okay, there's not a whole lot of order to these pages, but I'm really trying to add some! Mostly this page is for me to have all my links in one place. Why not bookmark them? Because I have a computer at home and a computer at work. This can get me to where I "need" to be quickly. I don't promise that the links are all up to date all the time, but I keep a general eye on things. Let me know if you have problems! Enjoy!
