THREE USEFUL WEBSITES--THEATER, CITIES, AND CALCULATORS

THEATER RESOURCES
Arslynx International is a free, non-ad-sponsored site with information on everything theater—from acting and architecture, through costume design and directing, to stage management, video, and world theater. It is the creation of Richard Finkelstein, a professor of theater design for over 25 years—now at James Madison University, living in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

"In general, Artslynx links to non-profit resource libraries as master sites themselves. In areas where Artslynx feels that there is no comprehensive listing, Artslynx creates its own.”

TOP 101 U.S. CITIES—LOTS OF LISTS
Want to know the top 101
U.S. cities that people commute from? Or with the least cars per house? Or with the most people having Doctorates? Then this is the site for you. It is the companion to a similar site, City Top Lists. I couldn’t quite figure who puts this out, but they say that “a lot of content on our site is user generated,” so you might take some of it with a grain of salt.

Answers to the above: Burke, Virginia (54%), Manhattan, New York (60% have no car); and Palo Alto, California (8.3 %).

FREE CALCULATORS AND CONVERTERS
I frequently need to convert something to something else (money, centimeters, etc.). This is a great site to find the right tool. It includes basic calculators, online statistics calculators, numbers calculators, online matrix calculators, conversions, color converters, date and day calculators, mortgage calculators, unit conversions, conversion factors and tables, BMI (body mass index) calculator, bandwidth calculator, and a love calculator (no kidding!). There are also many free mathematics tutorials.
It is a product of HIOX, an Indian web products developer.
