I have some more sites to share:
1. www.hyperhistory.com This site is amazing. There are treasures in every nook and cranny. If you're a history buff you'll find yourself returning here often just to explore all the options.
2. http://www.lssu.edu/banished/current/default.html I absolutely LOVE this site. Every year Lake Superior State University comes up with a list of words/terms that should be banished because of misuse, overuse and general uselessness. Be sure and check the archives, too!
3. www.archive.org Another real gem, this is the Internet's Wayback Machine. Just for fun, type in Kingsfans.com or go further back to sachoops.com
4. www.knowledgehound.com This site claims to be "the Web's biggest directory of free do-it-yourself tips and tutorials. From sports to cooking to computers and much, much more, we'll help you become one smart puppy." I check this site out on a pretty regular basis and they have a little bit of everything!
5. www.enature.com When you arrive at this site (part of the National Wildlife Federation), you'll get a pop-up that asks you to put in your e-mail address and zip code. If you decided to do so you, and hit go you will a get a local field guide for your area. Then you can see what kind of wild life is hanging out where you live. If you decline, you can still check out general field guides, etc. This site is a great way to help kids learn about what lives in their backyards, so to speak.
6. http://bubbles.org Everything you ever wanted to know about bubbles and much, much more. You can make your own bubble solutions, you can make different shaped tools for different shaped bubbles, etc.
7. http://www.happymagpie.com/origami.html Do you like Star Wars? Do you enjoy origami? Then your prayers have finally been answered. Go to this site and learn how to fold a Millenium Falcon or R2D2.
There's a section on basic folding techniques, a variety of patterns for folding, a section about patterns other than Star Wars, and a gallery of some of the most fantastic origami pieces I've ever seen. Skeptical? Okay, but check it out and get back to me.
Enjoy!!!
