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.

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.

listing of more than 1,100 computing technology companies
and 6,800 products, updated weekly with an average of 20

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,

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

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

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.
