After years of pining about my deprived childhood, I finally made it to Walt Disney World in Orlando. Even when living in Miami I still found it difficult to get there because I needed a good excuse to drive the 4 hours to Orlando.

Travels/DisneyWorld/

The end of 2002 found me in Orlando for a Career Conference and I made use of my extra time (when I wasn’t being called back for interviews) to go to Magic Kingdom. Of course, it wasn’t as magical as it would have been when I was a child but I still had a fantastic time. Pooja (one of my roommates) and I still got to live out our childhood dreams of fraternising with the classic Disney characters.

By January of 2004, I was working and got sent to a conference in, of all places, Orlando. Technically it was at Disney World since the conference took place at 2 Disney resort hotels. Again I made use of my time and made my way this time to Animal Kingdom. This time around I was alone but I made the most of it. Even knowing that this is a human-creation, some of the exhibits are pretty amazing - the whole safari thing was great!!

Tidbits:
- Way cool animations
  These animations are extremely cool to watch. Amazing to think about them being created by someone with a computer.
- National Study Group on Chronic Disorganization
  Some useful resources on this site to help diagnose, identify and deal with chronic disorganization in yourself or those close to you. Maybe they will soon give it an official psychiatric designation.
- Uncyclopedia
  Spoof Wikipedia-style encyclopaedia where nothing is true. Fascinating, isn’t it?
- Cool Periodic Table
  This would have made studying chemistry so much easier. The animations and colours really help reveal the relationships of all the elements.
- Obsolete Skills
  While some skills have long become something for the reminiscent, like changing a fountain nib perhaps or operating an a-track player, some of the skills on this list seem like they were useful “just yesterday” - remember rabbit ears antennae?
- Visual Nutrition Info
  To aid in improving your nutritional habits, Foodsel provides visual comparisons of the content of common foods (hard to swallow when you see the whole stick of butter). It also shows how much exercise is needed to burn off items. Turns out I need to walk upstairs for 24 minutes to burn off my breakfast of Honey Bunches of Oats cereal.
- You’re studying what?
  If you have some strange desire to go learn about, let’s say, cultural anthropology or robotics, you can find a course here. These universities all provide free course material, some more in depth than others, but wonderful resources for those of us who love to learn.
- ebooks
  If you are somebody that finds it hard to walk out of a bookstore without a stack of books, your arms may be able to get some relief. If you can adjust to reading your books on screen, this site has just about any recent book you might find in a bookstore, in all sorts of subject areas. A good resource for when you must have it now.
- The Bible According To Google Earth
  If Google Earth had existed back then, this is how some of the major events in the Bible might have looked. Check out Noah’s Ark and the Parting of the Red Sea.
- Visualizing bible relationships
  For anyone who ever got confused trying to think through the complicated family relationships in the Bible, this page has some interesting visual representations. Now you know it really is as confusing as it seemed.
