Paul's Web Picks

For you web surfers and information junkies, here is a variety of websites and links to some of the Webmaster's favorite sources of information, amusement and enlightenment, covering the arts, the natural world, and various activities, organizations and disciplines. Some are interactive. Its subjective nature is a given, but I hope some of the links open up worlds for others. This list can grow or change at any time. Feel free to make suggestions. Commercial interests aren't supported.
