Welcome to the Kfamily's Home page
This web site is a graphical representation of our own
Customized bookmarks that we use to search the net, find subject
references and generally surf the web.
Blazon of Arms: Gules (The heraldic color red),
three fish or hauriant. Translation: The gules denotes
military fortitude, the fish denotes noble birth.
This is the closest thing I could find to our Family Crest. I am
assuming that most of the current family crests are created on
demand and have less to do with the family origin. The main
problem with this is that there is little or no standardization
and therefore not much freely available information on the
internet. (You certainly can buy a manufactured one easily
thought)!
Introspect
As you might have guessed, I am not freely giving out our
family 'specifications'. I believe that there must be some
privacy on this huge billboard we call the internet. I do believe
that there needs to be some sort of accountability. I am trusting
the 'monitors' of the internet such as the web masters who have
graciously provided this space. I also believe that people who
surf must report 'inappropriate' behavior. I am constantly, like
I hope all of us are, trying to help define this...
Chat Page
This page includes instructions and locations of chat areas
that I frequent. They include text, pictorial and audio chat
pages and the tools I use. I am not always talkative but
interject here and there or just listen to the current
discussions.
Christian Page
Now you have asked for it! By continuing to read on,
you are open all sorts of interesting topics... My goal is to
pattern my morals after Jesus Christ's example on earth. This is
an insurmountable task that, in my mind, makes life worth living.
Jesus was very clear on what is expected of us all. It is also
very easy to understand what he and life is all about.
Relationships! (Thanks Pastor Rich!) Multiple Christian World
Wide Web (WWW) sites abound the Internet. For example on line
bibles seem to be abound on the Internet. The point of my
christian page contains Topics and useful links.
Computer Page
Internet technology boom starts here. This page contains
mostly internet and general shareware sites. They also include
Animation and Virtual Reality site. Animation are the most
popular sites some requiring audio and animation plugins (i.e.
Macromedia's Shockwave). Virtual Reality sites take a lot of
download time but could be a wave of the future. The Shareware
sites contain either interesting programs or large amounts of
free software. Usually shareware software have time or number of
levels limit or continously provide an anoying message.
(Sometimes both) but what the hey - it's free. There are also
shareware or FAQ sites related specifically to internet. These
are the popular free clipart sites or link list of sites.
Cooking Page
Mostly recipes. My favorite, Links to sites containing
thousands of recipes, tips and sites describing gadgets are all
included on this page.
Entertainment Page
Companies, Theaters, Schedules, Reviews and FAQs. There are
sites for practically every movie. Some with previews and/or
photos. Movie (and Sometimes Television) Studio World Wide Web
(WWW) Home pages that feature their current releases and links to
other related products. Television Studios, Networks and
Schedules. Books, Publishers, Libraries and Stories (See
Reference for more). Music/Record industries and America's No. 1
form of Entertainment; Shopping On-line shopping is growing by
leaps and bounds.
Games Page
On-line games are becoming more and more abundant on the WWW.
With more powerful browsers and their plug-ins, it make them
possible. Caution: It may take some time for some of them to
start/load. Many newer games support multiple players over the
internet. This page describes some of my experiences.
Magazines Page
More and More magazines are putting portions of their isses
online. This page contains lists of magazines many with a custom
interface. It includes links to Time, Life, TV Guide, Readers
Digest and many many more plus other search features and links
such as news, software and internet specials. Only on Internet
Magazines are also included as these become more and more
popular. These are some of the Magazines only available on the
internet (not available in print).
Mail Page
The Crushed Card Company sends electronic greeting cards.
There are several out! This page also lists ways of getting your
own free mail boxes (like P.O. Boxes), and (if you must) ways of
contacting me.
Music Page
This is where I can find most of the Midi base sites including
software and songs for me to upload. There are also many free
programs for listening to all sorts of computer generated music.
This is a small description for a very large page with some of my
own creations.
News Page
We gave up our newspaper because all of major papers and news
services are available for free. This includes Comics, Weather,
Local, Sports, Business, Entertainment, Coupons, and
International instant reports. These are some of the links and
programs we use to get news quicker than we ever were able to get
it before. It also includes on-line tv guides, Weather,
Traffic, Earthquake and new programs.
Phone & Directories Page
This page includes several Internet, Phone, (800), business
and personnal international directories. I have also placed Home
Buyer Guide and other topical search Sites under this category.
As with any directory, it does not include unlisted or missed
listings of which there are many.
References Page
This is the largest page that contains any online reference
materials including search engines. The heart of a good internet
system is the search engines since there are millions of pieces
of information out there on hundreds of thousands of sites.
Search engines are just large databases of topics and pointers to
the last known location of each, updated (on the good ones)
regularly. Cool sites can give you maps of any country in the
world. In some cases it will let you zoom down to the street name
level. Electronic on-line Libraries. These are still pretty small
but the concept is growing. The internet itself is really the
best library. Copyright laws prevent many contemporary literature
without author/publisher's permission from being available.
Closing
What is the point? This billboard is a forum for topics
I find interesting and to invite thought and discussion. In the
coming months, I hope to complete most of the pages on this web
site with information and (hopefully) interesting ideas for
whoever is reading.
