Allmylifeforsale www.allmylifeforsale.com/html/project/info1.html

Our highly commercial world demands that what we are in the end will not measured by what we have accomplished, but by what commercial items we have amassed. For whatever reason, John D. Freyer has decided to put all of his worldly possessions up for sale. Everything he owns is or will soon be available for purchase via Ebay so, as John says, if you've ever given him anything, here is your chance to get it back!

Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers www.menwholooklikekennyrogers.com

The Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers site came into being when the author began to notice just how many men of a certain age look like singer/actor Kenny Rogers. It has something to do with the hair and the beard, of course, along with the suspicion that some of the men were actually trying to look like Rogers. And we have to admit, having looked at the gallery of photos, that most of these guys really do look like the Gambler.

Telephone Art www.telephoneart.com

This site started as a personal project but has grown to nearly 4000 files and images of* telephones. You've got black and white images, celebrities using phones, cartoons, clip art, cell phones, pay phones* In short, just about anything having to do with a phone. The question as to why anyone would amass such a huge collection is of course open to speculation.

Webwasher www.webwasher.com

If you have had your fill of Web pages plastered with ads, you might want to download the software called WebWasher. This free software "prevents unwanted data objects on Web pages from being loaded." In other words, it filters advertising banners, pop-up windows, animations and more. It is said to be currently used by over 3 million users worldwide and it really does work. Just download the software, restart Netscape or IE and learn the love the fresh white pages of ad-free Websites!

Global Warming: Early Warning Signs www.climatehotmap.org

After a few decades of officials worldwide denying the very existence of global warming, new studies have confirmed what most of us have always known. Using a clickable map, we see that the warning signs are indeed at hand. There are the heat waves, rising sea level and melting glaciers, as well as the events of the future, including spreading disease, early spring arrival, coral reef bleaching and much more.
