IranBahs
Qasem Ramezan writes from Iran: "IranBahs is a new non-commercial
site created to promote serious discussions about Iran. We believe with
the growth and availability of the Internet in Iran, there is a need for
a Farsi discussion board as it is the langauge of Iran."
Great Islamic Encyclopedia
Established in March 1983, the Center for the Great Islamic Encyclopedia
(CGIE) is a scientific and research institute for compiling and publishing
general and special encyclopedias about all aspects and dimensions of human
culture and civilization, specially Islamic and Iranian culture and civilization.

Beyond Iran
rootnode.org
Could this actually be real? A music site that doesn't have an agenda,
a schedule, a genre, or even a direction? A music site that's written for
the fans by the fans? Created by a few Georgia Tech students, the site solicits
material from its readers, asking only that the submitters "write quality
material that makes sense." The usual album and concert reviews are
here, along with great features, thought-provoking editorials, and a page
all about guitars. Definitely a site for those who think they're ready for
this jelly. -- Yahoo review
Great Images in NASA
From deep space studies to "Star Trek," the GRIN (Great Images
in NASA) web site presents a wonderful photo collection related to air and
space exploration. Peer into the heart of the Crab Nebula in Deep Space
Studies. Enjoy celestial fireworks observed from that cosmic magnifying
glass, the Hubble Telescope. View pictures of famous flyers such as Charles
Lindbergh, Amelia Earhart, and the cast of the original "Star Trek"
in the VIPs and People at NASA/NACA section. Most of these photos are copyright-free,
so you can add a slice of space history on your own web site too. --

Sweet Fancy Moses
The folks at this online journal have an obsession -- "to build
a collective work where intellect, humor, and voice come together in orgiastic
triple climax." Wow! That sounds like our kind of site. Claiming to
be the place "where wit lives," the site collects ideas and stories
from people all over the world and publishes them with one goal: to move
and provoke people with the written word. Let the wit roll. -- Yahoo

Volcano Live
Volcanologist John Seach's site features several jaw-dropping photographs
of your host casually ogling massive plumes of spouting lava. It's also
bursting with constantly updated information on all things volcanic. Check
out live volcano cams, breaking volcano eruption news, the latest satellite
images of active volcanoes, and suggested travel spots for die-hard volcano
fans. And don't miss the photographs of huge, perfectly formed smoke rings
puffed out by Mount Etna. -- Yahoo review
The Tattoo Baby Doll Project
Guess what's hiding under these dolls' dresses? Oh wait, they're not
wearing any. This collection of dolls is not for children. It's a collaborative
"statement on feminine empowerment," spearheaded by embroidery
artist Sherri Wood. Her inspiration came from the intricate tattoos she
saw on the streets of San Francisco. She took discarded dolls to various
female tattoo artists and asked them to create a persona for each doll.
Once the designs were drawn, Wood painstakingly hand-stitched every single
piece. The results are whimsical flights of fancy. -- Yahoo review
