Geography Links
by I arranged my favorites list the other day because it was getting messy and bothering me. That's not the point though. The point is that I finally arranged all these websites that I get from my old History teacher. He sends out "Random Information" emails with all sorts of random helpful websites. I've decided to pass on the knowledge to you guys. This weeks list of helpful links are Geography Links
http://historic-cities.huji.ac.il/historic_cities.html
This site contains maps, literature, documents, books and other relevant material concerning the past, present and future of historic cities.
http://www.yourchildlearns.com/europe_map.htm
This site has an interactive map of Europe, which is good for people like me who could not locate France in 7th grade because of the failure of the American School System.

Where is East Gabib? Well this site can help you locate it. You can pick a section of the Eart and zoom in on it.
http://www.infoplease.com/atlas/mapindex.html
I found this site really helpful last year for my European History class. It breaks the world down into: continents, regions, countries, proposed countries (?), US states, Canadian provinces and territories, and territories and dependencies.

This is good for anyone who has been following the whole 'problems in the Middle East' thing yet cannot figure out just what is in the Middle East.

I saved the best for last. This site claims that you can find any country on their maps..so have a go at it!

I couldn't find Sealand on the last website, so I guess it doesn't have every country on it.
Oh wow..I am a failure!
Haha. Actually, I really wouldn't expect them to have it since most of the world doesn't even recognize it as a sovereign nation.
stipulations, stipulations.
sadly it is true
I'm just going to take my "#9 of Ezabel" medal and fade away now
i'll take the t-shirt i get for being 25th and get salsa all over it while i attend the next exciting ezabel event.
BTW, if anyone doesn't know what Sealand is, here is their website. No, this is not a joke. This place actually exists.
Well..I know where I'm moving!! This statement just touched my heart:
"We would like to make it clear that after 32 years of pioneering work, and the blood sweat and tears that have been part of the rich adventure in the formation and establishment of the Principality of Sealand, our web site is the only official web site of the Principality of Sealand. It has come to our attention that others are claiming to represent us on the Internet and in the press, even showing photographs of my family and offering membership of business foundations, fake Sealand passports, and other services. Some of these people, it seems, were involved in the terrorist attack on Sealand in the 1970s that nearly resulted in loss of life, and did involve an international incident with the British, Dutch and German governments."

wait! i have something to say on this topic!
sealand, because it has no laws from any european nations, does a lot of...shall we say...(ian you'll appreciate this)...illegal server storage. You want to host...an illegal website?? sure! they will do it for you! the box will sit on their island (i guess they have a fiber optic cable running to it) and they will host your website. AND if the government of your particular nation tries to shut them down - they are heavily armed.
(take that, MPAA!)
haha. i read this in a UK issue of PCGamer magazine.
dan! are you thinking what i'm thinking? errr, probably not. carry on.
you should read Cryptonomicon. You might like it.
Sealand, now there is an imaginative name.
how interesting. we should make an ezabel event to go there.
Wait a sec, you organize your favorites? You must be more anal than I am.
..no one else organizes their favorites?
ehh, thats too much work, although i do have kts and my favorites seperate...just cause the dumb vegan recipes take up too much space
i definitely organize my favorites.
"humor", "adventures", "cow tipping", "windows", "movies" and "games" are some of my categories
Like..I have major categories such as: higgins sites, shopping, mvoies, music, school, random others, food, pictures/camera. And then all of those have sub-categories.
I admit that my buddy list is super organized. But its the organization of my CD collection that will make your head spin.
I do not have a very large CD collection but if I did I would enjoy organizing it. I like organizing all my files on the computer too into super specific folders so each main folder has a million sub categories.
I love organizing stuff, but I never seem to have the time to do it. I really need to reorganize my books and CDs, but I have so many of them that it would take forever. (Well, at least a day or two.)
My only books that are organized are my Star Wars books which have to go in perfect chronological order.
order they were written in?
there are time-lines available. she may have them in star wars universe chronology.
yeah, that's what i was wondering
Yeah, they're in star wars universe chronology. I had them in sets (like the rogue squadron series all together) but that upsets me because some books that come out in singles happen in between some of the series books (like Courtship of Princess Leia happens in the middle of the Rogue Squadron series) so what do I do there?
that probably kills the height order as well - paperback vs. harddcover
personally, i would keep the series together, and arrange other books that come in between as close as possible. this would look best on a bookshelf. then, if i wanted to, i would temporarily arrange in starwars universe chronoligical order as needed.
Yeah, thats what I have at the moment because the series really do look nice together. The papeback problem hasn't been too much trouble since the only paper backs I have are A New Hope and some book that came between the Phantom Menace and Clone Wars (is that what the last one was called? I only feel a little ashamed that I don't know).
haha we've talked about this before, but i really don't think i'm as bad as you, girl.
