- Internet Slang Dictionary & Translator
- When Ryan Jones instant messaged with some young people and couldn't understand a "thing they were typing," it made him mad -- and inspired him to create the Internet Slang Dictionary and Translator. The site, a resource for those who find themselves befuddled or enraged by what masquerades as language on the Web today, offers translations, a dictionary, a "Website Validator," and a "Guide to Netspeak." So when you walk in the room and catch your child feverishly typing "p911," you won't be in the dark. And when you're joking with a friend who suddenly writes, "c|n>k," you'll be able to laugh knowingly and shoot back, "lawlz!" -

- Leonardo da Vinci, Master Draftsman
- Leonardo da Vinci accomplished much more in his lifetime than just painting the enigmatic smile of the "Mona Lisa". To honor the artist, the Metropolitan Museum of Art designed an exhibit that showcases 140 of his drawings; 40 of these images are available online. This ultimate Renaissance man lived a long and productive life, yet was legendary for his inability to finish projects. He completed only 15 paintings, but his drawings number four times the body of work of even the most prolific draftsmen during his era. Even when he was alive, collectors sought these beautiful and
technically precise drawings. For example, the Codex Leicester notebook illustrates Leonardo's skill as an engineer and his interest in science. For further detail on this master's life, a number of experts offer comments about Leonardo's works in the audio guide. -
