. . .words just cannot do him justice. Here you shall find one of the supreme talents of the net. He will titillate you with his graphics and effects. Rollovers? Not just the insipid, gratuitous, look-ma-I-can-do-rollovers, that are rapidly (or should I say vapidly) becoming the polyester equivalent on the net. . .no siree! The good doctor uses them and other effects as digital alchemy. As if this were not enough, he openly and generously offers his expertise freely to help us all learn. His Hands On section is a place that were it not in cyberspace would be tattered and dogeared from all the thumbing through it. Enter at your own risk, because it will be hours before you leave. is an enchantingly beautiful site created by an equally enchanting and beautiful artist. Her use of color and Texture will leave you envious and wanting more. There are many facets to this site just as there are many facets to its Creatrix, and I encourage you to explore them all. If you have a love of beauty, art, and fantasy, then you shall not leave disappointed. Now if I could only find a way to lift her background and transform it into a cloak. . .
. . .back in the good old telnet days, I would telnet in from my home in the outback of America: Wyoming. There were an estimated 2-3,000 people frequenting at what that time was akin to a cross between the Times Square and Greenwich Village of the Internet (which we thought was crowded with several hundred thousand people!). These were close to the days when Archie, Veronica, and Gopher were the lifelines for information. Imagine the wonder when HTML hit the scene. "You mean we can have bold, and color with our text??!!" Today there are approximately 30,000 denizens of the Undernet. If you are not familiar with mIRC, this would be the place to discover it. For those of you who, too, traveled the many paths down under the net, you may remember me as LaMorgana or my alter ego, DrBombay. I also was involved in starting the first online Psychology site (yes, way before AOL's) on the Undernet called #PsychTutor. It was conceived of and put into place by _RadaR_.
"How can
I call attention to it?". . .and other hilarious, sadly true illustrations
of real wedding gowns. I stumbled on this site after yet another long,
frustrating day of searching for the "perfect" wedding gown. One look

topics such as "Sleeves Bigger Than My Head," "There Are Fins Just Like That
On A 62 Buick," "Don't Wear This Unless You Are Really Doris Day,"
and on and on and on. The site is called,
The creator of the site, Dave Heaton, states, "While
preparing for her own wedding, a dear friend stumbled upon examples of strange,
odd, and unflattering wedding accessories. She kept the strangest of the
lot, and I am presenting them here, along with her comments." I have no idea
who his friend is, but she no doubt does stand up comedy. |
Once
upon a mid- night dreary (thank you edgar) I came upon this . It seemed fitting that I should find it between
the dark and the daylight hours when my portion of the world was
sleeping. Finally as my eyes and body refused to cooperate for even
another moment with my brain, I reluctantly closed my browser window
and trotted off to bed, with dreams of far off mystical places dancing
in my head. Her paintings are beautiful, her tutorials are to be
envied, and as a whole her site is indeed a web . . . so beautifully
woven that you become enticed deeper and deeper. . .
