Here's some stuff I kind of borrowed from George Kachergis's web site (my layout and style closely resembles his, too). I'll get around to changing it eventually.

Interests

News

• /. - (Slashdot) News for nerds, from nerds. Hardcore.
• Democracy Now! - Really great independent news organization. They do their own research, show you things you wouldn't see anywhere else. HIGHLY reccommended. It's occasionally a bit liberal, but not too bad.
• Google News - Google news, automatically generated, good general news stuff.

Random Entertainment

• Fark.com - A usually entertaining news site. Lots of stupid stories, but sometimes funny.
• Home Star Runner - Wholesome, quality entertainment
• The facebook - If you're a college student it's a great way to waste time checking up on friends and such. Pretty much a big social networking site for college students.

Reference

Natural Language Processing

• AAAI - American Association for Artificial Intelligence Topics, a great overview of different areas of Artificial Intelligence, including excellent references and textbooks
• ACL - Association for Computational Linguistics, professional organization with resources, conferences, papers, etc.
• NLP Software Registry - A whole bunch of open source natural language tools.
• CS 357 NLP - Home page for my Natural Language Processing class
• Pheonix Parser - An open source context free grammar parser. It's pretty good, developed at the University of Colorado, Boulder.
• Link Grammar - An open source implementation of Link grammar. A good resource for link grammars, an alternative to the usual generative grammars. It includes an online parser to play with.

Data Mining and Machine Learning

• CS 377 Data Mining - Home page for my Data Mining class.
• UCI Machine Learning Repository - A nice big ole bunch of datasets to test various machine learning and data mining techniques.

Programming:

• W3Schools - A great resource for web based languages. Good tutorials and references for php, html, sql, etc.
• Programming Tutorials - Just a whole bunch of tutorials for different programming languages.
• CPAN.org - Need I say more? Everything you need that somebody else has already done in perl.
• Java API(local cache) - Pretty much what it says, java api.
• C++ Standard Library - Reference for C++ library functions.

Web stuff:

• Google - The search engine. I even 0wn a teensy bit of their stock.
• Open Directory - Completely free web directory (unlike Yahoo! and others). They believe the web is reaching a point where search engines will no longer be able to return useful results. Me? In Google I trust.
• Wikipedia - Free online encyclopedia built by the web community.

Friends

• Amrit Tuladhaar - A fellow Carleton student and aspiring roboticist. My favorite Newar/Nepali.
• George Kachergis - Another Carl, computer science/cognitive science special double.
