25 MOST INTERESTING WEBCAMS OF 2005

If you’re a lover of webcams, you’ll see some interesting stuff at this site. From the Pyramids of Egypt to Graceland, plus a drinking hole in Africa, the Eiffel Tower, a construction site in North Carolina, the baby panda and Mama at the National Zoo, plus lots of other places. http://www.earthcam.com/top25/2005/

A BLOG BY ANY OTHER NAME

...would be a journal, a diary, a bulletin board, a column, a forum, or a blog, as we all know now thanks to Sarah Marshall’s presentation at our May meeting. This article by Bob Rankin agrees with her, of course, but has some additional information, too. You might like to take a look. http://askbobrankin.com/createablog.htm

 

GLOBAL VOICES

This cool, nonprofit media project began at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University. Global Voices opens our eyes and ears to the best "bridge bloggers" in the world, people who write about their individual country to a global audience. Click on a country to read blogs by well-informed natives writing about current events impacting their homeland. There are listings for hundreds of countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe . It certainly shows us how blogs can be used! http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/globalvoices/

 

BOOK OF NUMBERS!

This one’s so weird, I can’t even explain it to you, so go check it out. Keep going, because it keeps getting stranger! http://www.book-of-numbers.com/

 

AGE GUAGE

This will really make you feel old. Put your birth date in the pop-up window after you click on the below link. What happens is pretty interesting. It's also amazing how quickly it computes!! http://www.frontiernet.net/~cdm/age1.html
