Van's Favorite Pages on the Web

The Top of the List:

My wife's crazy cousin George mailed me a copy of This is True ages ago. How I have failed to list that here is beyond me. Randy Cassingham reads the news from around the world, and clips the most absurd paragraphs and mails them to 141 countries and 15,000 users. Unlike all those things that Dave Barry "is not making this up," this is true!

Others:

These are the sites I refer to most often, organized loosely by topic. These were all working at one time or another. The sections that are indented have been checked since Winter 1997/98. Note: If any link on this page fails to load, please let us know: vanhorn@whidbey.net (In fact, several are up to date only because of mail, keep it up!)
