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.
