What can you expect to find here? Hopefully, great links and solid information. Specifically, look for the following categories to make the grade:

Great Links

What makes as great link? It has useful information that's easy to find with a minimum of gorp. At times I'll have to compromise a bit and accept a little advertising, but the more "in your face" and distracting the ads and other graphics images are, the quicker I am to reject the link. Also I'll tend to avoid redundancy as much as possible--generally not posting a link that already can easily be accessed from another source. Links must load quickly, so you'll tend not to find a lot of graphic content in my favorites. If you want graphics, go watch television with the rest of the mind-numb. Please feel free to contact me with your suggestions if you have something that qualifies.

Christian

There will be Bible verses prominently displayed on many pages with an emphasis on seeking out great sources of Christian teaching and tools. Also a number of articles that I write will be about the Bible or Bible-related. My Christmas letters, which often are oriented toward current events, but usually have a Christian theme, will also be included.

Local

While to some, I'll always be a Yankee. By now, most around these parts have come to accept me. After-all I've lived here most of my life and have even lost some of my "Yankee ways." The main page currently has a local weather update. The local Christian radio log was the first real content contributed by this website. Look for other local links like government, college, a link to a beach webcam or weather, and a link to RDU airport.

Tools

These things are general-purpose, must-have, items which includes portals, a search engine and a link to a mapping application.

Programming

My background and bias is object-oriented and Java. Since I am now into web work some links associated with that can be expected as well. As I come across useful links and the time to share ideas I'll post them on this page.

Freedom

This section seeks to keep watch on our rapidly eroding liberty. Here look for a table that shows the Bill of Rights along with the evidence of how that right is being stolen. Today's news in this country is filtered, to say the least. Yet there are a few sources that I've found that are trustworthy and complete. They'll be referenced here as well.

Investment

In my opinion, investors are taking big risks with their money these days. Here will be links to my favorite investments and information associated with making investment decisions. You may have noticed that the Federal government now makes it a regular practice to change the basis of the CPI. I would like to come up with my own price index calculated for the past and the present and post it here as well.

Health

This is another area where I've found a few folk cures that seem to work for me. I'll plan to share them as they come to mind and time permits.

Personal

Since it's my site, it's convenient (to me) to add a few links that formerly were selected from a list in my browser. Generally they'll not be useful to you.

Pages from Friends

It may be that a friend who doesn't have a website or a group from church would like to post some information where everyone can get to it easily. I'm open to assist them by making a little space available and posting it for them.
