Do We Really Know Dewey?
"Melvil Dewey lived an extraordinary life! He was born in Adams Center, New York, on December 10, 1851, and died on December 26, 1931. He was a librarian who invented a decimal classification system for library books called the Dewey Decimal System. This team expresses unbridled enthusiasm for a subject that others might consider, in a word, dull. Do not miss Dewey and the Alien, a fabulous illustrated story explaining the ten major Dewey categories."

Creatures of the Night and You
"You’re out on a moonless night...really dark... in a field that seems like the middle of nowhere. So far from any lights that the Milky Way hanging over your head looks close. You hear frogs croaking and crickets chirping, and you smell something sweet. Wait! Something’s running through the brush...you can hear it. What was that?! Explore all things nocturnal, including our natural fear of the dark, in this investigative look at animals, plants, folklore and the night sky."

Computer Museum History Center
"This Internet Timeline begins in 1962, before the word ‘Internet’ is invented. The world’s 10,000 computers are primitive, although they cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They have only a few thousand words of magnetic core memory, and programming them is far from easy. The Computer Museum History Center (of Mountain View, California) is my pick of the day! Best clicks are the forty-five year timeline of computer history and the online exhibits devoted to History of the Internet and Evolution of the Microprocessor ."

Chinese Calligraphy
""China is the world’s oldest ongoing civilization. It is known for many beautiful forms of art - silk painting, pottery, paper cutting, kite making, and calligraphy. It was calligraphy that captured our imaginations because the words evolved from pictures." I enjoyed learning that there are many different styles of Chinese calligraphy, including seal, official, semi-cursive and cursive. And depending on whom you ask, there are either seven or thirty-two basic strokes. My favorite page is Drawing Instructions, where the pictographs are explained."
