"You cannot wield it, it has no other master!"

This is freaking amazing.

INTERACTIVE MAP OF MIDDLE EARTH.

Essentially a Google map of Middle Earth. Wow, this is incredible. You can even look at the labels in Elvish. This is a great compliment to what is easily one of the greatest stories ever told. Truth be told, this is a little nerdy or geeky or whatever, but still it's cool. Look at the background page; looks like an old, unrolled scroll. Who's up for watching the trilogy?

Jon AKA web designer.

How sweet is this? I have created my own web page.

Take a peek.

For my Computing Foundations class, we get to use the library science program's online web server to upload things like websites. Our first assignment was to learn a bit about HTML by reading a textbook and writing a website in HTML. It's pretty cool, programming in HTML isn't really "designing" a website, but rather taking the template for a website and telling it what to do. So this is website is very basic but I'm still pretty happy with it. Obviously it could use some work and I will hopefully be updating it as I come up with new stuff; any suggestions?
