1. Do you want to know how much an architect makes in New York City—or do you simply want to negotiate a higher salary with potential employers? Well, go to Salary.com and get the 411 on what people make in every position in every U.S. geographical region. You can also read the latest salary news and get advice. Just don’t be disheartened if you discover you’re not making enough.
2. AIDS Action (www.aidsaction.org) is devoted to “responsible federal policy for improved HIV/AIDS care and services, vigorous medical research and effective prevention.” Be sure to look at the Zamora Fellowship (named after the late Real World cast member) and the Legislation & Policy pages. In the latter, you can find out about the latest bills and get info on your congressional reps.
3. Wanna see Ricky Martin or Angelina Jolie on your computer all the time? Then head over to the Absolutely Celebrity Network (www.absolutely.net). There are galleries and screensavers of gobs of stars, from Ben Affleck to the Material Mom (or Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Penn Ritchie to you).
