Helpful Links & Sources

This page is meant to be filled with various links and sources that I have found helpful over the years. There are lots of other sources of information out there that are just as good, maybe even better, that are not on this list, and it's possibly just because I have yet to come across it myself or forgot to add it. If you notice any real good sources you think would serve well being on this page, please feel free to send me a message with your source and why you think it should be added! I am always happy to expand my knowledge database.
