Your Daily Dose of Star Wars (COOL> Cool Web Sightings - Issue 27)
---------------------------------
With the soon to be release prequel of Star Wars: Episode 1 - The
Phantom Menace on May 21st, let the Daily Dose of Star Wars be your one stop
of getting all of the news surrounding this even. The Force.net aims to
please with a universe of reports and features, ranging from humor to
breaking news.
--> http://theforce.net/

The Force.Net (SURF> Surfing the Net with Kids: Star Wars Sunday, May 09)
---------------------------------
Darin Smith writes "My aim for TheForce.Net: to provide
a fun, clean, entertaining site for Star Warriors to play in.
Star Wars has always meant a lot to me, and it deserves a
fan page that brings out the best in it for everyone, from little
kids to our ‘closet fan' parents and grandparents." This fab
fan site ("Your Daily Dose of Star Wars") spans lots of territory:
Star Wars news, discussion forums, interviews, fan art and fan
fiction are just a handful of topics covered.
--> http://www.theforce.net

JediNet (SURF> Surfing the Net with Kids: Star Wars Sunday, May 09)
---------------------------------
The Jedi Council message forums (organized around a
dozen subjects) are a popular feature of this "for the fans,
by the fans" site. Other highlights are Evan's Star Wars
Cinema (original short films created with action figures and
distributed exclusively online) and the South Park/Star Wars
parody titled Star Park. Some families, however, might find either
or both of these offensive for their language and slightly-off-center
themes.
--> http://jedinet.com

Star Wars: The Magic of Myth (SURF> Surfing the Net with Kids: Star Wars
Sunday, May 09)
---------------------------------
Star Wars became part of American aerospace history
when The Magic of Myth exhibit opened at the National Air
and Space Museum last year. "This exhibition examines
the mythology beneath the Star Wars story, a hero's journey
that takes place ‘a long time ago in a galaxy far, far, away.'
Underneath the flash and dazzle of special effects is the magic
of myth, a shape-shifting realm where heroes, monsters, wizards,
and magic talismans dwell in labyrinths of discovery." Choose
Virtual Gallery if you have a high-speed connection and are willing
to download the Live Picture Viewer plug-in. If not, then go with
the low bandwidth Web Feature.
--> http://www.nasm.edu/StarWars/guide.htm

Star Wars: The Official Site (SURF> Surfing the Net with Kids: Star Wars
Sunday, May 09)
---------------------------------
This huge official site features clips of Episode I music,
trailers, and television ads. One of my favorite clicks is the
Shockwave gallery in the Smithsonian exhibit. Also, follow
your mouse to Technology for an explanation of engineering
achievements such as the repulsorlift engine ("antigravity
devices which make it possible for any machine equipped with
them to float above the ground") and hyperdrive ("an engine -
powered by fusion generators - which allows a spacecraft to
enter hyperspace, an alternate dimension where travel at many
times the speed of light ceases to be an impossibility.")

Star Wars Search Engine (SURF> Surfing the Net with Kids: Star Wars Sunday,
May 09)
---------------------------------
It's a testimony to the fervor of the prolific online Star Wars
community that they even have their own search engine!
A search on "droid," for example, produces a list of eight
sites, arranged alphabetically from Astromech Droid
(http://www.starwars.com/droids/astromech/) to Star Wars
Gaming (http://www.blackjedi.eu.org/gamer). In addition to the
search function, sites are categorized in a browsable directory
of twenty-four topics such as collectibles, fan fiction, games,
humor and trivia.

BECAUSE READING IS BROADENING (DUMMIES DAILY(tm) -- The Internet May 12th)
---------------------------------
Sure, you've got time to go to the library--right after you get off
work, get dinner together, put the kids to bed, mow the lawn, spend
some time with your significant other . . .
Here's an idea: Squeeze in some reading while you surf the Web.
NetLibrary offers a free collection of more than 1,000 public domain
eBooks--many supplied by the Gutenberg Project reviewed here
previously but in an easier-to-read format. You have to register for
access to ALL the titles, but every month you can choose from several
featured titles without registering.

pursue more obscure names - well done!

Last but not least, the opening of the latest film version of A

plays as well. The address:
