Here's a list of my favorite sites on the World
Wide Web. Click on them to check them out. Just be sure to
return to Jach Spake!

 | Google
- If you want to find anything (lost friends, medical
issues, names of old movies, etc.) this is the place to go!
|
 | Yahoo! -
My favorite choice for e-mail. Until recently, I
could crow that it was an e-mail service you could latch onto from any
PC... until my firm shut down access to third party e-mail accounts due to
virus fears. L

 | Chronicle
Custom Comics - Here's
where you can build your own customized comics page! The Houston
Chronicle's website ingenuously builds the URLs for the comics you
choose into your own personal URL that's saved on your PC. This is how I get to see strips like
Mutts, Luann, Rose is Rose, and 9 Chickwood Lane that aren't in my local
newspaper. My custom comics page is the FIRST web page I visit each
day!

 | Forgotten
New York - You can take the boy out
of Brooklyn but you can't take Brooklyn out of the boy. Yeah, I can
always visit my old high school's website or Classmates.com, but if I want
to see the old sights and scenes of the five boroughs of NYC, this is the
place to go!

 | Ruby
the Knishman - This one will be
really out of left field for most of you. Ruby was a fixture in the
East New York section of Brooklyn when it was a Jewish shetl. For
the uninitiated, shetl is Yiddish for the old Jewish communities of
Eastern Europe before World War II. Ruby sold knishes (potato pies,
for you gentiles) at street corners, city parks, and schools. He was a
true "character" who had a rough-hewn exterior with a heart of
gold. During the summers he would follow his customers up to the
bungalow colonies in the Borscht Belt (that's the Catskills Mountains in New
York State's Sullivan County) to ply his trade. His sales tactics were
legendary as were his off-color jokes. The out-pouring of heart-felt
love and adoration as people reminisce on this web page about the guy is
amazing. Now, just imagine my wife's best friend's surprise to find
that her long-deceased dad, Ruby, had his own website!!!

 | You know, I could go on and on and on... I must have a few
hundred web sites on my Favorites list. There's everything from the
fannish to the serious, from investments to entertainment. I'll list
more here as I deem them to be indispensable to others and when the mood
strikes me.
