Disclaimer: I’m going off of memory, so I apologize in advance to anyone or organization I forgot.  Please leave your link in the comments and I’ll make sure to add it the list.  Please note that I purposely left out Bio-tech and Clean-tech because we don’t work in those areas.  And, I realize that my video gaming links are weak, so I could use some help there if anyone has any good online resources or funds (Paul Lee?).
