- With summer coming to a close (or Winter ending, depending on your
- current Hemisphere), I have some light fare for you this month, with
- maybe only one site designed to be actually useful. So sit back, bring
- your monitor up, and start clicking your way around the Net.

- Another online paradoy magazinbe, this one's not to bad. With
- stories parodying the Survivors show (this one in New Jersey), their
- versionof the nbew US 5 dollar bill, Ask Jeez (as in Jesus, but don't
- expect the answers to be revelatory), and how to stop online music
- piracy (there's a great picture comparing it to Communism), it's worth
- the daily chuckle.

- SciFi 2000{p}
- http://www.scifi2k.com{p}
- Looking for a good SciFi homepaage? Well, this is a good place to start.
- From News and Movies, listings of shows, books, Quotes, and the virtual
- library, it's got about all you might ask for.

- Movies. Rare or cult (Surf Nazi's Must Die! anyone?), when they were made, what they're about, and
- possibly how to get them. Movies soon to come out, movies in the works,
- sold scripts, and reviews of movies in theaters. If you're trying to
- find that one rare film shown once in 1967, you'd do worse to start
- here.

- The Virtual Library contains downloadable stories submitted buy buding
- writers like YOU. So, download and read or upload and submit. either
- way it's a blast.

- There's a rather comp;lete list of SF series names, though only a few
- have links to show summaries and some basic series info. There's also
- the expected downloadable SF themes in MP3 format (along with some
- sitcom themes which I don't know why they're included). Toss in a few
- famous quotes to round things out.

- The News section keeps you up to date on everything happening in the
- SF world, be it movies, television, or whatnot. Throw in some Fan
- Opinions, book reviews, collectibles, space art, and even a few VHS
- covers and you have a pretty well rounded site. Definitely the kind of
- place where a true dyed in the wool Sf fan can spend an hour or so
- browsing through.

- Darn! My hour's up.
