The Links for May 10, 1997

LookSmart: Frequent contributor Dudley sent this one in. He would have done it sooner, but this site is so good, he'd assumed I would have already used it. Inspired, he fired up my search engine, and saw that I'd overlooked this site.; Dudley recommended this site because there is so much stuff on it - he visits it often.; I'd heard of this site - it's produced by Reader's Digest, but had never stopped by. So - I took a peek.; This site is designed for exploring. Links are listed on "pop-up menus" which ADD to each other. This allows you to back up and explore other local paths, without reloading the page by using the "back page" button. Very well done.; This site fills a need. Instead of looking for something by throwing a search engine at it, you can browse by using a well-designed, well-executed browse page, which is full of great links. Thanks, Dudley - this one is great!
Yosemite: Frequent contributor Taxi Mike sent in this one. He says "It's a site you can visit daily for a virtual visit to Yosemite."; This site is great- daily photos, a Mono Lake Web Cam, directions on how to get there, news, points of interest, etc. It's a great site - I'll be sure to use it the next time I'm feeling cooped up at work for a quick "virtual vacation".; This site is brought to us by The Ansel Adams Gallery - which has a web site well worth visiting as well!! THanks, Taxi Mike, for this one!!
Cajun Ham Radio: Listener and Ham Radio Operator Jim (WB6LWS) sent in this site.; This is a home-brewed site, with lots of links. Well worth browsing around. Sure, there is ham radio stuff here, but there's lots of other stuff - midi files of cajun music, cajun recipes and tons of other stuff, It looks like Bob, the site's owner, spends a LOT of time surfing and bookmarking, and has put it all on the web.; One warning - this page is a slow loader - the main page is a TON of links, with a few animated GIFs. But - you can listen to some spiffy cajun midi while it loads. Be sure to have your sound on - it's a toe-tapper.; Well worth a look! Thanks, Jim, for submitting this one!
