30. Haïti-Référence Online Dictionary

The website Haïti-Référence provides an online dictionary--thanks to a user of this site for suggesting it. http://www.haiti-reference.com/creole/diction/
Users can either look at a list of words with entries alphabetized in Kreyol (Creole), or can look up a word or phrase in English-Kreyol or Kreyol-English search. The dictionary boasts 8,755 words.
One nice feature is that for any word entered, multiple possible synonyms in the other language are provided.
Haïti-Référence is a site housed in Boston. Beyond the Kreyol-English dictionary, most of the site is in French, and provides what it promises--reference information on Haiti.

29. More Haitian Creole internet-streamed radio stations

In Resource 19, a radio station out of Boston is listed. In addition, Live 365 at http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?genre=search&searchdesc=haiti provides access, some of it free, to a variety of radio stations out of Haiti and in Haitian American communities in the United States. One of these stations that more consistently plays Haitian music is at http://www.live365.com/stations/konpamaniax Konpa Mix Radio. Many of the stations broadcast music and/or talk in Kreyol (Haitian Creole); many are bilingual with French too.
