Introduction

Here's where I have a collection of my favorite sites, services, and utilities on the Web.  After searching the Web for job leads, company backgrounds, technical help, shareware, and other goodies, I've compiled a collection that I hope you will find useful and enjoy.  As always, I'm constantly in search of new and fun sites to visit, so please let me know about your favorite places.
