Other Stuff To Peruse
Pages of things I've found interesting, intriguing, or amusing. Yes, I know that links pages were cool back in 1996 when links didn't change on a daily basis; Many of these have not been updated since 1996 or earlier - I try to go through them every once in a while, but you're just as likely to find these work as not...
Friends I Said I'd Give Links To
(let's at least make the promotional nature of this obvious, eh?)Informative
- The BBC World Service
- CBC News
- Reuters News Summary
- Slashdot - News for Nerds
- The Register
- Epicurious
Science and Technology
One of the things I'm interested in is getting young people interested in science and technology. These links all contain enthusiastic explanations of scientific and technological topics without assuming the background of an Einstein.
