File Extensions

Get wise to the letters, symbols and keyboard characters that come after the dot in computer file names and give you serious pause when you aren't quite sure what kind of file that is. Filext.com is the file extension
resource, with a searchable alphabetical listing of file extensions you never dreamed existed - until you're clearing out your hard drive and just aren't sure if you really need that one.

Virtual Parks

Eric Goetze has seen the tufa towers of California's Mono Lake, the rugged beauty of the Canadian Rockies and the slick rock canyons of Utah. And words cannot describe what he has seen, so he shows it to you at Virtual Parks.org.

The site offers panoramic photographs of more than 2,500 wilderness scenes in the Western US and Canada, including a 105-mile walk on the John Muir Trail. Click on Geography to pick a park via map or search by themes like lighthouses, ghost towns or chaparral. A "Best" section gives stunning
favorite views, and visitors with a special valley, peak or crest in mind can search the massive alphabetical listing.

Myth's Web

We have champions of every sort - and sport - in our modern world. But is a sure thing that Odysseus, Perseus and the Gods of Mt. Olympus will outlast the fleeting fame of any modern champs. Myth Web.com is a kid-safe site to teach the little ones about the heroes, gods and monsters of Greek mythology.

A group portrait of the Olympians leads visitors to the 12 immortals who lived on Mount Olympus, and their complex relationships with mortals. In Heroes, learn about the trials of 16-year-old Theseus, the tests of Jason and the quests of Perseus and Hercules. Teachers get lesson plans, games and learning products in a section for educators, and the Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology helps any seeker know the Greeks, from Achaia to Zeus.
