My Desktop: http://www.mydesktop.comThe other day I was down at my local book store, browsing through "The Vulture Fund" by Steven Frey, trying to decide if it would be a good summer read, when, on the book jacket, I saw a glowing quote attributed to "Ed's Internet Book Review". Since this was the first time I had actually seen a quote on a book jacket attributed to a web site, I decided I HAD to check it out. Ed's Internet Book Review is one of those enjoyable, unassuming web sites that you'd never find if you weren't looking for it. With book reviews written by real people (Ed himself actually works for NASA), it's a great place to investigate your next summer book. What's unique about Ed's Internet Book Review (aside from the range of books they review) is the opportunity for you to add your two cents by writing a review of your own.

*** Net Fu ***
No, this isn't the name of some new Jackie Chan Movie-Website Tie-In! Net Fu is the name of an incredible web site which allows you to create impressive logos without all the expensive software and expertise. Visit Net Fu and select from the many styles you can create your logo from, then type in the text you want and watch as Net Fu generates a snappy logo that you can put on your web page.Net Fu: http://scheme.xcf.berkeley.edu/net-fu/
