My Favorite Sites.

EBay.com

I recently did a pitch to design a new Madison Square Garden, and as part of our interview I wallpapered the conference room with original programs from events, ticket stubs from concerts and boxing matches, postcards that people had sent -- people collect things you would never imagine. What I did was go to eBay and enter in "Madison Square Garden" and I found, hundreds of original items that trace the history of the building. It was interesting when the client walked into the room they saw all these things that even they didn't have. There were even things like 16mm films of Muhammad Ali fighting at the Garden.

Channel1031.com

This is an adult rock station that for some reason couldn't make it on the radio. They had changed frequencies several times but still never made it. After they were taken off the air, they became one of the first radio stations exclusively on the Net. For my money, this is the best radio station in Los Angeles, bar none.

For me, sports sites are research, and so I use a variety of them. This one covers every major sport and they have stories that aren't just about the score of a particular game. For instance, a team potentially moving is interesting, and that's the stuff they have. In addition to scores, it's the business and the news of sports that I'm particularly interested in and this is a comprehensive site that covers all sports simultaneously.
