I have been using this for a few weeks and I love it. Saved the link to my desktop.

Once you find your way around, you might like it, too.

It has everything!

3. OMG! LOL. It's put together by Matt Drudge's father!
http://www.refdesk.com/mission.html

By trade I am a Family Therapist, a clinically trained, MSW social worker. I am the first born - three months before Pearl Harbor - child of a librarian who probably knew the Dewey Decimal Classification before I knew how to walk :-). My mind likes to create and maintain order. In June 1995, I began refdesk in an attempt to bring some semblance of order to the chaos of the Internet. Somewhere along the way, refdesk became my passion, my source of bliss. I took Joseph Campbell's advice and followed my bliss. Amazing adventures have ensued, along with meeting hundreds of people world wide. Such is the nature of the Internet. We are next door neighbors, you and I. My son, Matthew, is editor of the successful Drudge Report. Matt calls himself a "Citizen Reporter," and his work has come to symbolize First Amendment issues on the Net.

4. Hey, morning. Look at my post above
the site was created by Matt Drudge's dad.

Oh well. I won't hold that against him.

5. as another librarian's kid
I'm sympathetic to his need to find order in chaos. And I hope I'm never held to account for some of the things my sons have done.

(Morning!)

6. Good way to think about it.
Well, I am about to jump in the car for 4-1/2 hours. No DU for a couple days. It will be good to be away from the desk for a while.

Enjoy the first day of summer!
