Flashkit is a special Web site just with Flash tutorials.
Web Students interested in Web design should take a look at Vince Flanders‘ page, Web Pages That Suck. It teaches the principles of good site design by highlighting bad site design.

For help with HTML coding, Webmonkey.com is an excellent resource.
Homestarrunner.com is funny and bizarre. Excellent Flash work, though!

Church Links (top)

Bay Area Community Church is a nice church in Crownsville, MD.
Cedar Ridge Community Church in Spencerville, MD is a very neat church. You can view the sermon messages on the web site.
Compassion International is a Christian organization which sponsors needy children in countries around the world.
Gospelnet has a bible concordance online- very nifty when searching the bible for specific topics or quotes!
I highly recommend to anyone that they join a Bible Study Fellowship in their locale. BSF is a great way to acquire in-depth learning on the bible.

GI Joe Links (top)

If you're a Joe enthusiast, you should check out Yo Joe.com, the best G.I. Joe reference site I've ever seen.
I am one of the artists for a fan-based expansion of the GI Joe The Card Game over at GI Joe Firefight.
Dutch Redneck has used some of of my GI Joe artwork for his fantastic GI Joe custom backing cards.
Joesightings is also a great reference to keep track of the latest happenings in Joe-dom.
If you're into customizing G.I. Joe figures, you'll enjoy Chad and Matt's Web site.
I like to check out Rebelscum.com for most of my Star Wars news, though SirSteve's is also very good.
If you want to see a guy really devoted to Star Wars toys, Niub Niub's dioramas take the cake! If I had no job, no wife or kids, and lots of money and time, I'd be tempted to do something like what he does, but for G.I. Joe toys.

Amigos de jMort (top)

I have several friends who maintain Web sites and I'd feel remiss if I didn't share them.

Laurie Mortenson, my wife, runs a business called Legwork Resumes, which has a great web site that was designed by me.
Alicia Deeny is a dear friend of mine and a very talented guitarist/songwriter. You can hear tracks from her new album and buy her album from her Web site. Check it out!
Dina Torok is a friend from college and a very talented singer and musician who has a cool, fancy Flash site at Tourrock.com. She is also the inspiration for one of the characters from Campus Interruptus.
Regan Gradet is a friend from my University of MD days and a super classy graphic designer to boot. She is also the inspiration for one of the characters from Campus Interruptus.
Amy (Hsu) Beal is a wonderful web mistress of many sites. See her hilarious China travelogue and meet the babies! She is also the inspiration for one of the characters from Campus Interruptus.
Mimi Gronlund. I created a web site for Mimi's new book, Supreme Court Justice Tom C Clark, A Life of Service. The book is about her father, who served both on the Supreme Court and as Attourney General of the United States.
