Randy's Links to Hobbies & Interests


This is one of my favorite pages to put together, mainly because I'll still get use out of it whether you all use it or not!  All of the links on this page are to pages that I myself like to use because of my hobbies and other interests. The links include everything from music links, to sports links, flags, heraldry, and comics. I hope y'all enjoy them and find them useful. Good luck!

The links on this page are rated using my patented Blue Diamond rating system. It works just like the stars do, with 5  being one of the best sites I've ever seen. Just thought I'd try to help y'all out here. Enjoy!

    Flag Links


    Okay, I'm not sure whether I mentioned it before or not, but I like to consider myself to be an amateur vexillologist and vexillographer, one who studies and designs flags. Don't ask me how I got hooked on flags, because I'm not really sure. I just know that I like them. So here are a few of my favorite links.

    Flags of the World A great, comprehensive flag site, that offers free downloads of miniature flags in GIF format.

    World Flying Flags My favorite flag site, comprehensive, and containing animated gif flags of all the nations. Check it out, all you vexillologists!

    Flags of the World (FOTW) A great site that has lots of information on world flags, current and historical. This site also has several worldwide mirrors.

    Flags of the United States of America Not too bad a site. Graphics aren't the best for some flags, but at least they try to be accurate and comprehensive.

    Flags of the Confederacy For those of you interested in the history of the flags of the Confederate States of America, here's a site for you!

    American Flag and Gift's Homepage Are you interested in buying a flag or two? Here's the most comprehensive site I could find.

    Heraldry Links


    I'm also a heraldrist of sorts. I love to research coats-of-arms, and I'm currently working on four right now: my own, my girlfriend's, and two of my best friends' coats-of-arms. For those of you also interested in heraldry, here's my list of heraldry and related links. Check 'em out!

  • The Royal College of Arms This is the official homepage of the British Royal College of Arms, which contains records of ALL coats-of-arms granted. Great site!
  • The American College of Heraldry The official homepage of the American version of the Royal College of Arms. A great place to start if you're researching your own coat-of-arms.
  • The British Heraldic Archive A great site packed full of information of heraldry from around the world. Definitely worth checking out!
  • Heraldry and Coats-of-Arms on the Internet A good site with lots of links. Also a good place that can help you with your heraldry research, for a modest fee, of course.
  • BLAZONS! Homepage From this homepage you can download the program BLAZONS!. It's a DOS-based program that lets you design your own coats-of-arms.
  • Heraldry Today This is the homepage for an on-line store that deals specifically in heraldry and genealogy. Looks like a good place to buy from if you're interested.
  • Heraldry Links Here's a page that's dedicated solely to all (or most) of the heraldry links out there. Could come in handy!
  • Royal and Noble Genealogical Data on the Web A cool genealogy site on the Internet that could help with heraldry, too.
