I began creating a Web site in my head as early as August 1995 when I drafted the followingFor a project I’m pursuing regarding Jewish involvement on the internet and the World Wide Web in particular, I’m interested in learning about any sites about which you may know.

Most pages should still be available in their original location. However, I will be moving the vast majority of the old site (static html pages) into the Web 2.0 (blog) site. If you experience any "link rot", please let me know. When I initially created this site I organized the material into what seemed to be meaningful categories (in the days before "tags").

The new tools should make this process easier. `//rite on! |
