   Matt Alberts weekly@webcom.com

          The Weekly Bookmark is on-time, if you forget about the two I
          missed. I have vowed to not miss another issue. For this, I
          have prepared my article, Marian Hank will have her article in
          Monday's, and I have another article lined up for an upcoming
          issue. Look for these covering a large variety of topics.

          I will let you get on to the current issue, and I hope you
          enjoy this.

        Shakespeare Authorship
                This site offers evidence that William Shakespeare of
                Stratford Upon Avon wrote the works attributed to him.
                Specifically, the site seeks to refute the notion that
                William Shake-speare was the pen name of Edward de Vere,
                17th Earl of Oxford.

        Shakespeare Authorship
                This site advances the theory that Edward de Vere, 17th
                Earl of Oxford was the author of the works by William
                Shakespeare. The Oxfordian proposition is based on the
                scant evidence for authorship by the man from Stratford,
                the well-established literary skills of the Earl, and
                hundreds of bits of circumstancial evidence linking the
                plays and sonnents to the life of the Earl. The World
                Wide Web has enabled both sides in the authorship debate
                to achieve a broad public forum. The controversy has
                strengthened Shakespearean studies.

      Computers and Technology
        Tech Locator
                Tech Locator, the most comprehensive World Wide Web-based
                directory of computing product and company information.
                Tech Locator (http://www.techlocator.com) is the first
                online directory to provide comprehensive aggregate
                information about a company, such as contact information,
                stock quotes, and complete product listings, as well as
                the option to conduct related searches throughout both ZD
                Net and the Web.

                Tech Locator, which joins the robust technology-focused
                content and service offerings on the ZD Net Web site
                (http://www.zdnet.com), is an extensively searchable
                listing of more than 1,100 computing technology companies
                and 6,800 products, updated weekly with an average of 20
                new company listings per week. It is the first Web
                navigation tool that links search results not simply to
                the home pages of relevant sites, but to the specific Web
                pages within a site which contain the end user's
                particular information needs. In addition to its listings
                of company contact information, products and stock
                quotes, Tech Locator provides links to company home pages
                and into targeted site areas, such as technical support,
                price lists and customer service.

      Education
        The Naropa Institute
                A Naropa education initiates a lifelong process of
                creative personal development that extends beyond the
                college experience. Learning is a rigorous and joyful
                journey at The Naropa Institute. As a member of our
                community, you train wholeheartedly in your fields of
                study, gaining knowledge from a perspective that fosters
                precision, gentleness,and spontaneity. This approach is
                called "contemplative education", and is based on a deep
                respect for tradition and the intelligence within each
                person. It emphasizes intellectual acumen and intuitive
                understanding. The basic principles of this approach are:
                cultivating awareness of the present moment, striving for
                excellence in all disciplines, exemplifying the Buddhist
                principle of joining one's personal experience with what
                is learned, applying wisdom from many world traditions to
                contemporary challenges, and being nonsectarian and open
                to all.

                At Naropa, you journey towards wisdom^=D7a wisdom steeped
                in tradition, yet continuously unfolding in the present
                moment. You develop skill in your area of study, openness
                to ever-changing situations, confidence to enjoy your
                life, and compassion to benefit society.

      Entertainment
        The Timothy Leary Home Page
                The Timothy Leary Home Page is an obvious step for this
                guru of LSD. The page is a neat, crisp design aided by
                Cyber Whizard Joi Ito. Leary provides a guided tour of
                his domain in cyberspace and reality. The Cyberoom is
                particularly reminiscent of his earlier days of fame.
                Part of the design includes a picture of Leary wherever
                you go, which will allow you to ask questions. It is a
                carryover from the babtsitting concept of his
                experimental days. As Leary lives out his last days, he
                is dying of prostrate cancer, he has opened up his house
                to us.
