Music
History is filled with well known trios.  You can go all the way back to Rome and the First Triumvirate of Pompey, Crassus, and Caesar.  Fast forward to the present and you find that the music business has had its fair share of them too, from the British power trio Cream to those crazy Canucks of Rush.  That's why it would be impossible for me to not mention the band that is reviving the word "supergroup" − Everit!
Outdoors
The New Jersey Department of Fish and Wildlife − Used to be called the Department of Fish, Game, and Wildlife, but apparently hunters don't count anymore.  Interestingly, the URL ends with the letters fgw − so maybe web hunters still matter.
Radio
I used to work on the radio when I was in college, WTSR out of TCNJ to be exact.  I still like to see what Wayne Sciangola's talking about during his traditional 6:00 Friday evening slot.

Additionally, I like to listen to shortwave radio, and sometimes check in to what's new in the DXing scene.

Back in 2002 I sent Radio Tunisia a letter requesting a QSL for a possible reception of their broadcast targeted for the Mediterranean.  They were quite surprised that it was heard in eastern North America (although it's not implausible if the conditions are right).  I sent a letter in French (translated through the Internet so you know it wasn't well done) and a dollar bill to sweeten the deal.  After some six months I received a response.  Here is the QSL card (front/back) and the letter I received in response.

Scouts
Boy Scouts of America − I've always thought that I would never have become a teacher if I didn't have a background in Scouting.

Want to see a bad council patch design?  Check out my council, the Northern New Jersey Council.  At least they had the decency to change the purple to a dark blue.  Still, I keep the old Passaic Valley Council patch on my uniform.

Merit badges − The good news is you don't have to spend cash to buy the requirements book.  The bad news is that you still need to write a 500 word essay to get Environmental Science.
Languages
An attempt at providing an on-line dictionary that references words in several languages.
