Along with Don's eclectic coverage for Acrobat and PostScript ,
his Incredible Secret Money Machine, his guidelines to  Avoid
Patent Ripoffs, doing your own Book-on-Demand publishing, or
getting great surplus Live eBay Auctions and Test Equipment
bargains, exploring Hydrogen energy or Bezier Cubic Splines,
trashing Pseudoscience, going on a Tinaja Quest, exploring new
Magic Sinewave ventures, learning  PIC Microcontrollers, or
exploring InfoPack research, superb Partnering opportunities,
Santa Claus Machines, Water Soluble Swimsuits, or Wavelets,

Plus annotated links to many thousands of websites and related
resources. All based on the premise that if Don personally uses
them and is interested in them, others are also likely to.

viewing.  Offline, these may be accessed by an Acrobat Reader or
an eBook Reader or any other .PDF accepting program.

Listed below are the top hundred or so websites that I actually use
quite often and highly recommend. They are my "best of web"...

We've now split out these video-on-demand offsite links...

There are thousands of more links on the Guru's Lair. Most of
them are on our library pages of related interest. Such as these
Acrobat, Bee's Favorite, Hydrogen, PIC, or Wavelet examples.

Here's a few of the more web popular search engines that I actually
use. I still do like Hotbot a lot, but Google seems to be the top dog.
The new one to watch is Amazon's A9.com which looks promising.

I've kept the old Deja News name for what is now Google Groups.
The PDF search button is especially useful for technical papers.
And Google's new Scholar is for academic citations.

100.com A9.com All Web Alta Vista Blog Search Deja News Dog Pile Froogle Google Hotbot Jeeves Lycos   PDF  Scholar Surcha   Searchpurpose Wayback Webcrawler Yahoo  .

To search our own Guru's Lair site, use this engine instead...
