Besides Airforums, what other forums do you frequent?

[Astroboy]

Hello,

I love Airforums. I come here pretty much every evening. That having said...

I'm trying to introduce some changes to my info diet, mainly to broaden. So here I am, trying to "crowdsource" (the recent buzz word!).

----

Will any of you like to share the links or name of other forums that you frequent (in respective field other than Airstreaming)? I'm looking for places which have nice, funny, informative, hospitable discussions -- something similar to what this Airforums offers.

The topic can be anything. I'm just looking for good reads.

i.e. Do you know any good forums for ... say... bonsai or knitting? Finance? Buying a home? Fixing a home? How to raise a child?

----
You can ignore this section...

(Any leads?) Some of my current interest are:
- home improvement & gardening (I got a 90-year old decrepit starter home w/ unkempt backyard and lawn to work on)
- computer science or bioinformatics
- books / literature
- finding a job in NYC, or how to navigate the maze job search, temp agencies and IT agencies.
- finding a social life in NYC (I don't know many people in this city yet)
- finance, market trends, trading (It's about time I learn some of this stuff)
- knitting, (I want to be able to program Shima Seiki.)
- sewing, (I'm looking to buy my 1st sewing machine.)

----
These are probably not as interesting places (That's why I come to Airforums...)

MTBR ( Mountain Bike Forums ), where I learned how to build bicycles

VWVORTEX ( vortex media group ), my 1st infatuation with internet forum, where I learned the basics of cars, working on engines and stuff. Some of the rooms today are probably too childish for Airstreamers.

EXPEDITION PORTAL ( http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/index.php ): There are some extreme crazy RV camping, and ingenious RV building here.

----
Please share any interesting links that fellow members may find useful. Perhaps, we may get to know each other more through many other hobbies or interests...

Of course, I will continue to come to Airforums, probably... every evening.

Thanks.

Perhaps.

I just recently started to surf the web through fiber optics -- now every click is instant. It's amazing how much more browsing you can do and info you can process in milliseconds... really

Here's one for you if you plan on selling a house or doing your own remodeling. Interesting to see what they look for and the arguments.

Last fall my wife and I got into raising chickens since our cat brought home a day old chick. We had thought about raising hens for the eggs and this was just the event to motivate us. Besides, how can you go to your neighbor's house and tell them "Sorry, my cat stole it." We don't even know where it came from.

So I built a coop and scoured CL for a used dog run which worked out quite well. We now have three hens and we usually get three eggs a day but this time of year, with the heat, we usually get just one or two.

All this to tell you I frequent BackYardChickens.com. If you care to look us up, we're Sunburst Coop on there. Here's the link.

Me?

I get buzzed at Beesource.com - Beekeeping resources for beekeepers since 1997!.

There's nothing like having 100,000 bees waiting to greet you in the backyard..

And no...They're not always happy to me.

Not a forum, but a SCREAM nonetheless: The Onion - America's Finest News Source They really need a forum or comments section.

Caution, Warning, Danger Will Robinson, not safe for work or small children and almost nothing there is true.

Always good to shuffle the deck once in a while. I get lost on surf travel websites (Surfline.com/Travel) - you're in prime real estate for that. My girlfriend is a sewing/knitting assassin and some names I've heard are Stich'n Bitch and Handmade Nation.

Re: the video above - If you see an Airstream with a GoFast logo, it means I sold my soul to put that jetpack on my Tradewind.

in the vein of the the weird news website mentioned earlier, I like to check out Cracked.com for humor and HowStuffWorks.com for my daily dose of what-it's-not-too-late-to-learn.

If you listen to podcasts, try out StuffYouShouldKnow from HowStuffWorks.com

Wow, all these are very groovy and intriguing.

Jim was actually right -- I don't have time for all these forums ! But I can dream, right?

Neverthless, you guys are awesome .

Keep them coming!

Yes. A few decades ago as a kid, I thought I might be sporting a jet-pack in 2000s. Still, the future is often closer than we all think... it can happen

Otherpower.com : A couple of guys in Colorado documented their journey into DIY renewable energy (The CUTTING edge of low technology) and have kept a hobby online store going for ten years now; the sales were never important but reading through their catalog of projects and overall views on RE is great reading!

Otherpowers' discussion forum at Fieldlines.com are a world-class year book of DIY RE - the moderators try to keep the signal-to-noise ratio low and some of the posters in years past have done amazing things...

[Note: I hung around there so long, visited the Colorado shop, etc. that they made me a moderator - but I'd still list it up in an eyeblink if I lacked that Admin status there]
