Websites Tested, Laura Approved: Nerdsites

Here are some websites I found whiles surfing around the Nerdiverse

Online Graphing Calculator Why spend $111 on a TI-95 when you could use the Online Graphing Calculator? The only problem with it is your professor probably won't let you take your laptop to exams (and I'm sure not every campus is decked out with wi-fi connections).

Calcoolate.com The Coolest Calculator on the Web. This online calculator let's you type in any expression and shows a history of all your work. Plus, all the calculations are done on your computer (not through the website) so you can replace your crappy Windows calculator with something awesome!


Double helix nebula found in the Milky Way
Just something I thought was neat and pretty to look at. Some scientists found a nebula shaped kind of like a DNA molecule.

AtArcade.com This website has classic Nintendo games in Java. The games are emulated by NEScafe, and you use your keyboard as a controller. I tried playing Super Mario Bros., and I couldn't get used to using my right hand to move and my left had to jump and shoot. Still, it's kinda neat.

Online Graphing Calculator:
The interface wasn't obvious enough for me; that is to say, I am too oblivious for the interface. I'm probably going to continue to use Matlab for even my most mundane graphing needs. I will also continue to kill mosquitos with a 12 gague.

Calcoolator:
I did like this one. I really don't use the Windows calculator except to convert from dec to hex to bin since there is s**t for a keyboard interface. I can do the same stuff faster on this thing. I like it.

Double Helix:
Finally, difinitive proof for creationism. Glad that's settled.

AtArcade:
God I suck controlling my people using my laptop's tiny keys. Very cool though.
