A bit meta, but my first link is (http://www.pearltrees.com/) Pearltrees, a social networking site that lets you share links in a categorised, tree-like structure. It's so much better than Stumbleupon.

(http://web.expasy.org/cgi-bin/pathways/show_thumbnails.pl) Metabolic Pathway Map
(http://web.expasy.org/cgi-bin/pathways/show_thumbnails.pl?2) Cellular and Molecular Processes Map
(http://pathways.embl.de/) Interactive Pathways Explorer

A couple of animated gifs demonstrating engineering principles: (http://hiox.org/30629-simple-animation.php)

(http://betterexplained.com/archives/) - Articles explaining (mostly) mathematical topics in an intuitive way. Some have applets.

The Glossary of Mathematical Mistakes used to be a website, but now there's only a (http://www.lasalle.edu/~beatty/310/ACES_CD/editing_and_writing/accuracy_and_fairness/Mathmistakes.pdf) pdf. Still interesting.

(http://www.listentothedeep.com/acoustics/index.html) Listen to the Deep - Tune in to a number of hydrophone stations around the world. Most have a 60 minute delay so that the military of the respective country can censor out their vessels. I managed to catch a fairly large Japanese earthquake last year and cross referenced it with quake updates from other sources. Super nerdy, I know.

I didn't want to wander into blog territory, but to me these are treasure:

(http://lesswrong.com/) Less Wrong is "a community blog devoted to refining the art of human rationality." Be sure to check the (http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Sequences) sequences.

(http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/) Science Based Medicine is a blog written by practicing physicians and usually covers just about everything to do with health fads, scams, and medical pseudoscience.

(http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/) Adam Curtis' BBC blog. I swear he lives in the BBC archive. A lot of his stuff is fascinating - and well researched - journalism about media narratives, war (usually in the Middle East), flawed ideologies, etc. (I'm being vague. I'm tired, dammit). This is one of my favorites: (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/posts/mr_pink_mr_white_and) Mr. Pink, Mr. White, and Bottom, describing a 2008 US massacre of Afghan civilians, and how a local group competing with a rival for work on security contracts played a major part. Also, everyone should be made to watch his documentaries.

I'll stop now. :D

Awesome thread idea and I got a ton of useful links to contribute (later when I'm not on my iphone) particularly a bout web dev and game design

Not too late to add another?

I've been messing around with (http://www.amc.edu/academic/software/index.cfm) Virtual Brain Model software by Albany Medical College. It's a really cool way of exploring the brain in 3D using cross section MRI scans of a human head.

I'll post more interesting medical software if I find it (and if it's free.)
