Here are some of my favorite web sites.
Explore and have fun!!!!!!

There is a huge variety of cards available for every occasion you could possibly imagine. I am especially partial to the ones that include Java applet animations; it is so much fun to customize them.

I have been intrigued with software Easter Eggs ever since I read about one in a computer magazine years ago; you could type in a special combination of keystrokes as you started to play the old version of MineSweeper that was included in Windows 3.x and then, when you hovered your cursor over a covered square in the game, the first pixel in the upper left corner of your screen would turn white if there was a hidden mine there. I loved it and used it all the time because I like to WIN!

This site is also run by a husband and wife, David and Annette Wolf, and they have branched out to include hidden goodies in movies, music, TV, books, and art, as well as in computers. Such fun! By the way, I always used to try to spy Alfred Hitchcock in his films!

It's a fantastic "Start Page" and I have it set for the default "Home" page in all my browsers. The site keeps a small banner at the top of your page so you can easily work your way back to where you were if you tend to wander from link to link as I do.

It saves me tons of time whether I'm just trying to find a particular piece of clipart, looking for a technical computer solution, shopping on-line, etc. You name it; it's there. And if you have expertise in a particular area, you could even apply to be one of their Guides...

Now playing: Eric Clapton's "Wonderful Tonight"

If you're in my general age group and are looking for some CLASSIC rock, this is the site to visit. It has lots of songs by the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, etc., etc. Ahhh, the good old days.

The interface is a simple notebook with a search box prefaced with "How To:" that you just fill in. At the end of each set of instructions, there's a checklist of things you need and it assists you in buying them either on-line or locally. I get a kick out of looking to see what's in the "Top 10 eHOWs"... today's list included: "Ask for a raise," "Avoid an encounter," "Lose weight," "Carve a pumpkin" and "Use chopsticks." There are lots of other cool little features. Check it out.

You use your mouse to turn around, to zoom in and out, and to look up and down. (I like to zoom in real close and try to look at the paintings on the wall, but the focus doesn't really work like that!) It is very cool, though -- amazing technology! -- and I can't imagine why ALL realtors don't place their listings here. You really do feel like you're inside each room.

Usually they find out that they have been singing the wrong words after they have belted the lyrics out at the top of their lungs in front of friends and relatives, resulting in strange looks and hysterical fits of laughter. You can browse the site by song title, by artist, and by new entries. And what's REALLY funny is the fact that so many people didn't know they were singing the wrong words all these years UNTIL they looked at some of the entries here...!

They have a virtual smorgasbord of all kinds of games to play. It's just right for a quick work break when your brain needs some diversion. I am partial to the "Say What?" word game, as well as to the "Daily Jigsaw Puzzles," but they offer EVERY kind of game here. I had to laugh at myself after I used the "Snowman 3000 Construction Kit" to create a VERY mundane snowman and then took a peek at the Gallery of what other people had done with the available pieces... she-e-e-e-sh!
