This is my homepage:

http://www4.ncsu.edu/~jpgoel/

It is clean and functional. Since I basically visit the same pages, I only
have to update this once a semester and have quick access to my class
sites.

There are other sites that I frequent, but if I put them on my homepage
then I'd waste a lot more time checking them for updates. When I worked at
IBM, I created another version of this same page - only it had links to
things like documentation and other work-related stuff instead.
