University of Washington Astronomy where I live and work.

Nick Strobel's astronomy notes. A nice online introductory astronomy text.

Science and the Human Perspective. Ronald Pine's very nice online text dealing with the philosophy of science. I like it a lot, and while I don't agree with him on every issue the work is well worth a read and if you can find people for a discusion. We used several chapters of this text for the philosophical component of the astronomy course taught in Rome. Check out his PhD thesis here for a deeper delve into some of the topics.

CCFA The Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization dedicated to finding the cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. I lost my colon to Ulerative Colitis in 2005 after fighting it for 5 years, so I apreciate this organization.
