Steve's Links

The World on the Wide Web - some of my favourite sites.

There's a separate page of Mac OS Computing Links

I is for Internet...

- some seven-league boots for you to tramp the Internet:

Yahoo! UK & Ireland - an organised Internet index maintained manually, with links to the search engines.
Ask Jeeves, which tries several search engines at once.
UK Travel Guide - a great overview of Britain.
UK Weather Map - see it coming and make plans! This is the map I use when planning trips to the beach.


N is for News

The Electronic Telegraph (ET) the original and best British Web newspaper.You have to register, but it's free.
Guardian OnLine - more magazine-like than the ET.
Private Eye Britain's best and funniest news magazine.
Scallywag Read about some of the darkest & dirtiest corners of the UK establishment.
Fortean Times - the unexplained - even further out...
New South Polar Times - how far can you get!? A nice resource for schools...


P is for Politics

- at least, you may think so - I couldn't possibly comment:

The British Government's information service - take a look at this, there's a lot going on.
The Labour Party
The Liberal Democrats- soon, I hope, to become Her Majesty's Loyal Opposition...
"The Shattered Party" (© The Guardian 1997:-)
I'm a signatory of Charter88 - for a bill of rights, freedom of information, devolution and proportional representation -
and a member of Amnesty International - against torture and the death penalty, and promoting quick and fair trials.


S is for Shopping

Amazon for books, CDs & videos


U is for Universe

The Nine Planets N.B: if you aren't in Britain, there are mirrors of this site nearer to you.
Hubble Space Telescope - latest pictures.
New Kadampa Tradition - pure Buddhism, a bigger overview than Hubble's!
NKT Chat - the chat group for Kadampa Buddhists.
