Y2K: Year 2000 Computer Problem
"This is the first time in history the entire world has faced the same technology problem at the same time. This New York Times Learning Network feature covers all aspects of the Y2K bug with clarity and without hysteria. As you peruse the articles, try the Knowledge Tools (you’ll find them just below the author’s byline) which give you the ability to turn on Vocabulary (hyperlinks to dictionary definitions) and Geography (clickable atlas references.) Menu links to the rest of the Learning Network site run down the left-most column."

Worldwide Observatory of the Year 2000
"From the top of the Eiffel Tower, everything you’ve always wanted to know about the year 2000. And they mean everything — including science fiction, news reports, electronic postcards, art, book reviews, and predictions from futurists. The entire site is "très magnifique" and is my pick of the day, but my favorite clicks are History and Science Fiction, both found under Year Zero, Year 3000"

World Book Holidays Around the World
"From Christmas and Hanukkah to Our Lady of Guadelupe Day in Mexico, Guy Fawkes Day in the United Kingdom, and New Year’s Eve, November and December are full of revelry, celebration, and solemn religious occasions. This World Book site is my pick of day for its even-handed explanations of holidays around the world. Don’t miss the Christmas entry for a fabulous feature on ""How Santa Claus Came to Be."""

Times Square Cams
"When you think of counting down to a New Year, what place comes to mind? If you’re like me, the answer is obvious: New York’s Times Square. I grew up watching the Times Square New Year’s countdown on television, so these five (yes, five) Times Square Web cams just seem to shout "Happy New Year!" I wonder how many people will be tuning in to the Net this year to watch the ball drop. For more Web cams, click on the EarthCam logo in the upper left hand corner. They even have a selection of Web cams just for kids."
