Interesting and (sometimes) Useful Information

Note: The Web has grown a great deal since I first put this page together. In fact, I don't really have much time to surf and check out interesting sites. These days, I basically use Google, though I've used Lycos and Yahoo in the past.

Hey! Anyone remember NCSA's "new web sites" page? You know, back when you could actually enumerate all the web servers on the internet?
