This page is new (uploaded November 10, 2014) and under construction.  I plan for it to be like those big city highways that are constantly under construction.   Hopefully, we can avoid the bad part of construction (slow traffic, unclear signs, congestion) and keep the good part (constant updates of new things to see and explore).

Some resources will be things that I have created and will be accessible on my site.  Those resources links will be indicated by bold italic fonts below.

Other resources will be things that I have discovered elsewhere.  In that case, I will do my best to link you to the original source.

Use the comment section at the bottom of the page to respond to any resource on this page (or to suggest a really good one that I might want to add).  You can also email me at contactgerrylewis@gmail.com if you would prefer to keep your comments and suggestions private.
