Guide to George Meredith

These folks are George Meredith fans. In case you don't know, the Victorian Age produced more great novelists other than Dickens and Austen (really more Regency than Victorian) and Thackeray. I guess the appeal here is snob appeal. If you are a Meredith fan, then you have something no one else has discovered. Not even PBS or the late Merchant-Ivory team that made art films. This is ironic since Meredith himself skewered snobs while doing them (and other character types) better than anybody else.

Urban Farming

I am informed that this lens will be doubling in size soon. It already is large for an average lens.

Urban Farming, that's right, means farms in the middle of cities --

Guide to Emerson, Lake and Palmer

This is a dinosaur group that has broken up twice and in the process of looking over this Squidoo lens, I discovered that they are reuniting next year assuming Keith Emerson's hands are healed up from surgery and he has his manual dexterity back. Carl Palmer is still fast. If I had the money, I'd go see them in concert. They used to sell out the biggest stadiums.

Veterans Day

Veterans Day dot org is one of those holder site until somebody buys it. The links turn back on themselves instead of taking you to the Department of Veterans Affairs for example.

Visitors Center

Another thematic and inexplicable site. However, while visiting I learned about the new ABC series 'V' (not to be confused with the old series). I think they are still lizards eating humans. Crossing light-years for a snack seems a waste of interstellar travel technology, that is, they should have re-thought the premise of the show and had the aliens after something other than food. Assuming I have the facts straight. I have not seen the show V only a short clip of their leggy leader.

Anyway, as usual, I'm off on a tangent and Visitors Center is not solely about that series. It is supposed to be about Visitors or Visitors Center and is therefore a work very much still in progress. They need to feature more visitors centers. Or welcome centers. Or information centers (IC's). Believe it or not those are industries with their own trade associations and trade journals. I know, I once had (I forget why) a free subscription to Information Center magazine.

Inside Edition

Navigation for this TV show's site is a lot better than the last time I visited. And anything is better than the dead ends it had before.

Guide to Getting Off the Planet

All I want to know is:

1. Can you make it affordable so that people (other than the millionaires that Virgin Galactic is catering to) can go?
2. Can you make it safe enough for my children and my parents?
3. Can you do it now? Not a million years from now like NASA's snail pace?
