Yep, here's your typical collection of links

Obviously there's a lot of category overlap, but that's life for you. I haven't put in very many links yet, but I don't really have to, because any site in a particular category will contain so many links itself that to find one is usually to find them all. If you want more, then try using an index like Yahoo or a search engine like Altavista.

More categories will be added later, as you might imagine, but here's a start:

• Children and parents
• Food
• Internet
• Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, queer and friends
• Local (Santa Cruz and so on) stuff
• Music etc.
• Politics
• Women

BTW, all these pages of mine are supposed to look really garish/hellacious/whatever. If they don't, you might want to consider downloading the latest version of Netscape.
