Tim Anderson's Home Away from
Home
www.mit.edu/people/robot/
One of my favorite web sites. Tim is an
electrical engineering inventor with interests
in outrigger canoe sailing and "heirloom
technology" (the inventive ways people
adapt and invent around the world, especially
in Third World or rural locations).
His travelogues are raw adventure experiences
full of wit, wisdom, and self-deprecating
humor.

Duckworks Magazine (free)

Often-updated site on sailing and
building small boats. Just a bunch of
regular folk writing short essays with
photos about what they love; good
people, good information, sometimes
good wit. Readers can respond to
essays, too.

"Instructables is a website where passionate
people share what they do and how they do it, and
learn from and collaborate with others.
Instructables was started by the partners at Squid
Labs because we needed a quick and easy way to
document and collaborate on our many projects. It
seemed really useful to us, so we shared it with
everyone..." They are who they say they are.
Zillions of how-to projects, most are interesting, a
few are silly, many are stunningly admirable. You
can become addicted here, so be careful.

Foamy Custard
Folklore and Mythology
Check out Bob Trubshaw's site; he is an
amateur folklorist in England with a
different slant on the field. No, I don't
know what "foamy custard" means; it
must be British humor!
