Glas Menagerie
HANGOUTS!

I've tried to organize these under several headings; they are the sites I've found useful, amusing, or just plain cool. Have a look; e-mail me if you find more, and we'll all use this conglomoration of connectivity all the better for it!

 IF ANY LINKS DO NOT WORK OR HAVE EXPIRED, PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS YOU CAN BY SENDING ME A NOTE!

Computer Resources

MarketPRo Computer Show Schedule Market Pro puts on a great computer show that sells discounted stuff (software & hardware) all over the place. If they come by a place near you, they're worth a look. Sorry Mac guys...mainly PC stuff here...


Chat Resources on the Web

AOL Instant Messenger Yes, I still see the monster that is AOL as a horrible thing...but this FREE service is not a bad program...and has the benefit of giving you access to an AOL "perk" without having either an AOL account or the AOL program on your computer. See when any friends with AOL are online, and send a message to them instantly! (Hence...the name!)

ICQ "I Seek You" is the cutsie name for this; it is a really great FREE program that lets you know when your friends are online, can get messages back and forth, and even chat R/T...HIGHLY reccomended. My UIN (User Identification Number) is 553407!

The Globe Interesting site, but I have to admit, I've not spent a lot of time there. Has the interesting distinction of setting up a web page automatically for every chatter that registers. Not sure if that is good or no...

The Park: No Holds Barred Room The Park was my first real place to go on the web for chatting. Oddly enough, in the no-holds-barred room I found more intelligent folks to speak with about politics, literature, and even computer construction. Great place, but like any chat room, a degree of sickos to be tolerated...

The Park: Twenty-Something Room The Twenty-something room is all right, a few more sickos to put up with, and a little less substance, but I can't argue with the wonderful friends I've met there too. Not bad overall.


Friends Web Sites

You will see these in the HOODLUMS page, so get off your cyber butt and go over there!


Menagerie Miscellany

The Drudge Report An incredible collection of commentary and articles, including links to international news resources and commentators in particular.

The Ecola Newsstand This is a great links page to English Language News Media on the Web.

The Folger Shakespeare Library Located in Washington DC, there are great things to be seen, exhibits, shops, and at times performances to be seen in the library's 200-seat Elizibethan Theatre

The Shakespeare Theatre This is another Washington-based Shakespeare organization; they used to be attached to The Folger, but have since moved and expanded to become an incredible platform for modern productions. Most recently I saw Othello with Patrick Stewart!
