Favorite Search Engine: Lycos (http://www.lycos.com). It’s still the most thorough search.

Homicide: Life on the Street
http://www.nbc.com/homicide/
The best show on television has turned into a true and complementary adaptation online. It’s an entertaining, smart experience that’s easy to get lost in for hours.

A great notion. Lots of smart people. I keep hoping it really takes off.
Mr. Cranky Rates the Movies

As good as a poke in the eye with two thumbs up.

Good clean fun. No educational value whatsoever.
WRNR Homegrown Radio

Great background music when you find yourself gazing too long at a screen. Requires RealAudio 3.0, but it sounds great.

A complete and delightful waste of time.
