note: this  site is relatively large, so it might take a while to load. if you use dial-up, just wait. if you turn off "graphics" you'll miss a lot of essential info, and a lot of fun!! alternative text to graphics is for the moment difficult as many of them are articles.  this might look pretty goofy on any browser other than the one it was made on. also, it will most likely never be printer friendly, so graphics may come out strange sizes or not at all.

NOTE: recently all sorts of mashups have been found on the site, but we haven't been on line for months.
