A project I've been working on
This website is just a one-page site, that does nothing more than link to a variety of other sites. It's pulls it's information from real-time resources but I programmed it to check for new content automatically at intervals.
The idea came from a couple other sites that aren't motorcycle-related. A developer from Singapore provided some advice. I also mixed in some of my own strategies. For a one-page site, it required a lot of tweaks:
http://www.motorcycleurls.com
I don't know if the site will ever be popular, but the technology is going to be used on a larger project I'm working on.

Wow, Shawn, I'm impressed; I had thought the internet couldn't get any more distracting...
Bookmark added, friends emailed!

Shawn that is very impressive.
You've got a novel yet simple resource for the subject (in this case motorcycles) containing a wonderful array of links.
If there is anything as good as this out there I have not found it.
Very nice
 :
oh yes, thanks for customizing the site especially for me here in Portland

When I was young, new information could be discovered at a pace I could follow. But today, an overabundance of information comes at us at an alarming rate. The sheer amount makes it often difficult to discern. Your site is logical and structured. Shawn, I truly appreciate the amount of work that you've put into your project. Thank you.

Thanks, Shawn. It's a great site. I've bookmarked it and am telling my biking friends about it. I cannot imagine how much work you put into it, but all of us should be grateful.

Very nicely done - There are many news related stories that update that I am sure I would never have found
Are you still adding additional links to the project? Great idea
