Here you will find a collection of links to sites scattered all over the Internet, on many different topics. The links are grouped by topic. The topics discussed include children, psychology, computers, astronomy, math, science, arts and music, government and criminology, humor and spoofs, and others. It's really quite an eclectic links collection.
To open a link in the same browser window as the links page, left click the link. Then click your browser's "Back" button to return here. To open a link in a separate window, right-click the link and select "open in new window", then close that window to return here.
I tend my links garden from time to time, weeding out dead links and adding new ones, so check in often to see what's new. Have a good journey on the open ocean of The Internet!

These are web sites of my fellow frequenters of the AIM chat room "jrr tolkien" (private), and members of "The Litter Box" mailing list (by invitation only). (As of January 2003, I am no longer a member of The Litter Box.) If you are a fan of JRR Tolkien and would like to join the group, email a brief letter of self-introduction to one of the members below and ask to join; whether or not they'll let you in is their business.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - Simple Model
This is a simple run-down on the "Myers-Briggs Type Indicator", or
"MBTI", which is a theory which postulates that there are sixteen basic
inborn human personality types. This concept is based on the work of
Greek physician Hipocrates (circa 400BC) and Swedish Psychiatrist Carl Jung
(circa 1911AD), with additions and extensions by Isabel Myers and her mother
Katheryn Briggs (circa 1958). For more information, read Isabel Myers' book,
"Gifts Differing", and David Keirsey's book "Please Understand Me II", both
available at libraries and bookstores everywhere.

Keirsery Temperment Sorter An MBTI personality type test.
TypeLogic Exellent MBTI type profiles, plus information on how types interact.

Tucows "TUCOWS" stands for "The Ultimate Collection Of Windows Software", and it is just that. TUCOWS has a great collection of free software for Microsoft Windows versions 3.xx, 9x, 2000, me, NT, XP. This is primarily "Shareware", sold for a price, but you can download 30-day trial evaluation copies in most cases. Some of the software stops working at the end of the 30-day trial period, but some doesn't. Also, one can find cracks to remove the time limits, nags, splashes, and other problems with Shareware. Or, you can pay some money to the author and get a license.

For me, this is a truely religious experience to finaly see the surface of the one planet I have longed to visit all my life. It is a dream come true.

Forms Pal A good source for legal forms.

Instead, scroll to the bottom of each document page and click the "PDF file" link or the "DOC file" link, which are free. You'll need access to a printer and a scanner so that you can print a copy, fill it out, scan it, save the filled-out version as a file for your records, print it, and send it to your intended recipient.
