Outside Tripod, one of my all time favorites (which made me take a
second look at jar spaghetti sauce) is the site for the
Ragu company. It is a dynamic site with smart
humor, Italian lessons and recipes. I still make my sauce
from scratch, though.
Inside Tripod, the game to play (before you really get down to
work) is Contraceptive Contemplation.
Whoever said sex ed. can't be wholesome, intellectual fun?

With all the hype of multimedia messaging and e-mail enhancement, I am an
advocate of getting back to basics. A brilliant example of this is the PixelSight
ASCII art generators that generate title banners, headers, and other
e-mail trinkets from a large selection of PostScript fonts. All in all,
a fun toy, and if you can find a practical use for it, more power to ya.

gURL is a great little
chick mag hailing from my alma mater, the Interactive Telecommunications
Program at New York Univeristy. Witty, wonderful illustrations are coupled
with articles that tackle issues of interest to all gURLs...sex, beauty, makeovers, fashion, and
of course, boys. There's
even an interview with our old favorite, Judy Blume. Go
gURLs!

I haven't seen a better political tool on the web than American Voter '96. Try the Rate
Your Rep section to see how you and your Congress members would match up in
real votes. I had a 90% approval rating for my representative. I know who
I'm choosing in November, do you?

Girls on Film is great. This site makes me feel like I'm hanging out with a bunch of my
friends, eating ice cream, and picking apart movies, stars, and more. It is well written, nicely designed, and just a boatload o' fun. See particularly "Bad Coifs & MIAs."
Bo
GeoCities:
Terrible graphics, no edited content, and a shoddy layout; but a great
window into the vibrant communities of interest that the Tripod Homepage
Builder could ultimately become.

Good thing I brought my Nike cross
trainers to Williamstown. No one told me that Tripod is actually actually
Camp Tripod! The weekly regimen we do here of tennis, basketball,
volleyball, and lawn darts requires some sturdy footware. Seriously though,
take a look at Nike's home page. They perfected the art of the
anti-advertisement long ago and their web site is no different. "The
purpose of this site is not to sell shoes." Yeah, right.

Shoestring Travel calls itself the
ezine of inexpensive travel. All of the travel tips are submitted by
readers or culled from Usenet, including articles on traveling as a
courier, how to find cheap accommodation, and a well-organized links
section. The User Exchange page is a great place for making "room swap"
deals.

Outside of Tripod, I've been having a lot of fun rediscovering Feed and The Daily Muse, both of
which cover current events and politics with a insight, humor, and a
lot of cheeky style. Here on the 'pod, I've been getting a big kick
out of Play Doctor With
Tripod. That's either becuase I'm new in town and don't have anybody to
play doctor with at home or because this is a truly fun and informative
feature. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
(I would have said Virtual Soapbox, but I don't want to toot my own horn.)
Jeff
The Workstation:
This is a generally useful site whose chief mission is to provide a groovy
interface to all the search engines out there. This site wins coolness
points by virtue of its membership in the Internet Link Exchange; and of
course, it's a Tripod member page! You'll also find a tutorial on browsing
frames-based sites, but perhaps best of all you'll learn how to have FREE
graphics made for your web pages!

I was feeling a little homesick, and I found the Made in Montana Online Mall.
It's nice to see the folks back home getting onto the Web. Now I know where to
go to buy some good old fashioned Montana Beef Jerky or Moose Drool, a beer by a new
brewery in my hometown of Missoula.
