Respect
Björk Websense The Ultimate Intimate		The official Bjork web site, Websense. And The Ultimate Intimate, an unofficial, but very good site, offering news and downloads of (IMHO) one of the greatest musicians of all time.
Microchip		If you're an anti-capalist, then you will find it hard to believe that any large corporations actually care about their customers. However, before you judge this company, buy some of their chips, especially the useful little series of PIC microcontrollers, try and use them, have difficulties, call their technical support line, and be treated to patient, genuinely caring and useful advice and sympathy, and then realise that the troubles were your fault all along.
Lego		"Such clever stuff. It's wonderful to watch children become utterly absorbed in a Lego project. You can almost hear their little synapses fizzing as they learn fine motor control, improve their digital dexterity and develop a sense of design. Those simple, knobbly building blocks are truly such stuff as dreams are made of." - The Independent

Terragen Web Ring		Terragen now has a web ring, and many of the associated sites have joined. This links to a list of those sites.
World Builder		Quite nice landscape rendering engine. Easy to create complex scenes with flowing rivers and billowing trees. However, it still lacks a certain je ne sais quoi.
World Construction Set		Another landscape renderer. Better for GIS, but allegedly a beast to use.
Bryce 3D		Landscape renderer from Metacreations, the people responsible for Kai's Power Tools, Power Goo, and other wondrous software. It's unfortunate that this program doesn't live up to the reputation. Rather plastic looking, and lacking a decent atmosphere model. However, I have no doubt that someone at MC is working hard to rectify the situation.
Vista Pro 4.0		Sadly, although Vista Pro was once the best landscape render around, it has fallen far behind in the race for the top. It is now one of the worst commercial renderers around.
