Mark McCoy
My friend and coworker, Mark, has updated his website. He didn't win the mayor's seat back in March, but he is still stirring up activism and enthusiasm. His ideas are pretty out there, but this is only a symptom of his genius.

Mark McCoy
Apparently, my friend and coworker, Mark, is running for public office in Collinsville. It's too bad that I don't reside in Illinois or I'd vote for him as many times as I could.

Gaming-PCs
Gaming-PCs is open for business and your best bet for a high performance computer deal.
Gaming-PCs.com is focused on providing the best computer for the money. We compete against and almost always beat the prices of larger computer companies such as:
We use only high-quality materials and manufacturer parts from the biggest names including but not limited to:
- Intel
- AMD
- nVidia GeForce
- ATI Radeon
- Antec
- ViewSonic
- Sony
- Western Digital
- Asus
- PNY
All of our computers are assembled by trained staff, and they are all put together by hand. We use screws and pins that are packaged by the manufacturers, we don’t insert needless, breakable plastic parts that can become loose or break. Plastic parts may make installation faster, and easier, but they also can make the computer less reliable so we will not use them unless they are recommended by individual component manufacturers.
If you are looking for a great deal on a new PC, be sure to check them out.

Legend of the Five by Toni Philips
Antonia Philips is another coworker of mine. Her and her husband Rick were mentioned previously with Ricks-Garage. The two of them share my interests in many things, including fantasy literature. In fact, she is a writer. Read about her book series "Legend of the Five".
Update (2007/02/13): Firstly, Rick and Toni got a divorce. Neither work for MonsterCommerce anymore. Toni's website about her book is currently in a hiatus/construction mode, so there isn't currently much information about the book. The design does look pretty cool in progress though.
I also wanted to include some other information about Toni's work history. Interestingly, she used to work for a video game company named Meridian 59. You can also see some information on MobyGames. Post-MonsterCommerce, she now works for MasterCard.
Rick's Garage
Rick Nelson, Toni Phillips & Jeremy Galba maintain this site. My coworker Rick and his wife Toni bought a new house a while back and wanted to invite all their friends over to see it and have a great house party. Then they realized this would likely trash their new house. So they came up with the idea to host the party in the two-car garage. Eventually, the epic events warranted a web site.
Update (2007/02/13): Rick's website has been gone for a while. Rick and Toni got divorced and I believe Toni is selling the house. All eras must come to an end, I'd guess.

Omegahobbies.com
My friend and coworker David L. is into tabletop war games, like Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. He is very interested in this hobby as well as other fantasy role-playing games. He has a website devoted to his hobby at Omegahobbies.com
We specialize in providing turorials on how to build the most ambitious wargames projects and scenery. Jaw dropping stares with every endeavour is our goal.
I also owe him a debt for letting me know about Toymallet, which might be the only way I myself enjoy a game like that. Why? Because it's like Warhammer, but on the cheap.

www.lifes-adventures.com
My friend and coworker, Lee French has a personal website to talk a little bit about his life and showcase his adventures.
This site is an informative look into the things that make my life an adventure. I'm by no means an expert at everything I do, but I strive for success in all I do.
I've been asked by many people many different times why I do what I do. This is my way of explaining it. I will guide you through the adventures I have had and continue to have in my life. This will be an adventure, maybe not a National Geographic Special, but definitely worthy of a small paragraph buried on page 7 of the Wednesday paper.
The primary goal of this journey is a learning experience, to learn more about ourselves and others. And of course there is the chance that we might get to help some folks along the way. And that makes the trip worth while.
Check out www.lifes-adventures.com for more information. Lee is also part of my del.icio.us network at del.icio.us / mlfrench.
