Architext is a small company (started by six Stanford students) who have some
interesting text indexing software. Their software tries to index based on concepts as
well as keywords. To demonstrate their wares, they’ve taken to indexing the World
Wide Web and making their database available. Check them out and try searching for
some concepts.

Jon Pugh has created a new bookmarking HyperCard stack. This free program can help
you keep track of your URLs, especially if you end up with lots of them, as I do.

For those of you who would like to read your Macintosh news in something besides
English, I suggest the Club Macintosh de Québec. This site is a French-Canadian
Macintosh users group, and they have nicely organized a lot of Macintosh information.
A good source for those whose French is better than their English.

Here’s another huge index of Macintosh resources. Nathan Raymond has put together
quite an extensive list of information.
Everything Macintosh http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~xray/mac.html
We’ve all known that Robert Lentz has a great site for Mac developers, but recently
I’ve been looking through some of his other pages. He’s done an equally outstanding job
with lots of information of interest to anybody with any interest in the Mac. It’s time
to check him out again.

I’ve come across a couple of sites about gaming on the Macintosh. While we await the
Pippin machine from Bandai Co. Ltd., you can see what’s new in gaming on the Mac.
There’s lots of information on both shareware/freeware and commercial games.

Guy Kawasaki has another mailing list he’s running. This one is more evangelism than
Semper Fi, but if you’re trying to sell to the Macintosh community, it would be a good
resource to track.

Neat non-Macintosh site of the Month
If you didn’t know, people have been putting cameras around and posting the
pictures on the Internet. Normally a camera is set up to take a new image periodically
(every 5 minutes, for example) and the picture posted. Cameras have been set up
overlooking a golf course in Hawaii, in an elementary school classroom, looking at a
fish tank, and any number of people offices. For a fairly complete list, check out this
page.

Well, that’s it for this month. As always, if you find something interesting, or
have updates, send them to URLs@MacTech.com
Thanks this month to Christopher Allen, Bill Goodman, Robert Lentz, Jon Pugh,
Nathan Raymond, and many others for their contributions for their suggestions and
pointers to new and old sites.
