I have a team that occasionally participates in the
Internet Equal
Offense
Tournaments.
We are the KSC Hackers. If you look at the scores, don't laugh...It's
harder
than it looks!
Earth & Space Science Sites
My father and I spent many years working at
Kennedy Space Center
and so I have developed quite an interest in the space program.
Check out
NASA Watch
for an unbiased look at what's going on with the space program.
A great repository of space news and videos can be found at
Spaceflight Now.
The Solar System
is a good place to go to check up on what's happening with our nearest
celstial neighbors.
Another really neat resource I have found is the
NASA Human Spaceflight Page.
If you go to the
SkyWatch
section, you can find the next time you can see man-made objects zipping across
the sky in your area.
Fishing and Diving Sites
One of the things I really love about Florida is getting out on and
under
the water.
the best site for fishing in Brevard County is
Central Florida East Coast Fishing
Florida Fishing has
an
interactive
fishing report database that allows you to see what everybody else has
been
doing
lately.
Two good resources for state-wide info are
Reel Native,
and the Florida fisherman's bible,
Florida Sportsman,
which has a good and timely fishing forecast for each area.
Andren Software
makes a great Loran/GPS program. Some
places
for GPS
numbers are:
Since I am currently without a "big boat", I spend a lot of time paddling around in my kayak. A good source
for info on canoeing and kayaking in Florida is the
Florida Sea
Kayaking
Association.
If you are interested in the storm chase lifestyle or would like to see some great weather photography as well as many
great weather and astronomy resources check out
Chris Kridler's website.
Cycling Sites
The local bike club is the
Brevard Bicycling Coalition.
The more casual rider might be more interested in the
Spacecoast Freewheelers.
Although primarily a roadie, I do occasionally enjoy going
off-road, especially hash rides. The best local source for hash info is the
Space Coast Biko Psycos,
a drinking club with a cycling problem. If you attend any of the
events, tell them Microsoft sent you. I have an online album with some of my better
hash ride pictures.
Velo News
is the spot for national and international news.
