Recommended Sites

Computer Arts Online - You read the magazine now come see it online. This site is really good. It has many tutorials that are indepth and are helpful and also has many other areas, like reviews of software, Gallery, Forum etc... Recommended by me.
The Art of Craig Mullins - A really good artist who creates realistic scenes in Photoshop. He has some information on how he does some of his work.
Dhabih Eng - The person that created some of the images for the game Half-Life. He has one tutorial which may be expanded to two shortly, but he does have a really good form that many digital artist go to for help and just for a general chat. He also has some cool pictures that he has made. It is defiantly worth a look.
WebMonkey - A site with heaps on web page design, creation and anything that is related like JavaScript, CGI, ASP, CSS, FLASH and much more. This is a place this is defiantly worth a look at.
Alternate Perspective 3D - This is a site that has many tutorials for LightWave. The tutorials are mainly for Science Fiction scenes but the tutorials apply to anything you do in LightWave. The one in particular that I think is good it the one on how to make a Whitestar. This is a really cool ship out of the show Babylon 5. This is a must see web site because of the tutorials it hosts. Well that is my opinion anyway.
ELMP: Embedded Linux MP3 Player - The offical home page of the ELMP Project. This is where you find most of the information about the ELMP Project. If you are good with a computer and your hands then this is a project that would be worth doing. Unless you have a lot of money and then you could by a commercial standalone MP3 Player.
First Page - A very good HTML, JS, CSS editor like HomeSite and it is Free!!!
