"At a rough estimate, over 2 million objects from ancient Egypt are kept in about 850 public collections, dispersed over 69 countries around the world. This website aims to collect them into a global virtual museum, which can be visited at any time, from any place.

The Global Egyptian Museum is a long-term project, carried out under the aegis of the International Committee for Egyptology (CIPEG).

The Basic Mode, currently showcasing 1301 highlights, is geared to the interested public. A glossary of more than 400 items explains Egyptian terms and themes. Many objects are provided with audio comments and 3D-movies.

The Advanced Mode, equipped with a powerful search and data entry engine, opens up the full database - presently 11321 objects - to professionals and amateurs.

Kids! offers information for children at the age of 8-12 years in an interactive way."The Global Egyptian Museum

I've also posted about this fabulous online directory at my Yahoo360 blog: Blasts from the Past.

A fabulous example of how useful this site could be, check out this link to one of the jewels of King Tut.It breaks down the symbols with translations.

Enjoy!

You can check it out, but I no longer belong or recommend this program.
It is just another MLM, where I hear the directors drive $200k cars, and if you join, you won't.

Now the largest UK lottery syndicate in the UK, the Virtual World Direct (VWD) eLottery Syndicate, brings you a new way to play online games and earn money through social networking. The program called -->evo is in it's pre-launch phase, "Project Eplay."

I invite you to sign up for free now and get in on the beginning of this 'New Wave.' Launch is scheduled for July 15.

Not sure how this works, as I have never done any online gambling or very much online gaming. But it looks like it might be fun, and if it pays off. Well!

I might have to create a new site just for games.

Do be sure to let us all know what you think of this new App and how you're doing if you do sign up.

Got the invite from my new friend on -->MySpace. As she said in her bulletin: 'It was W.C. Fields who once said, “All I ask is for an unfair advantage.” ', -->the Bookwise gal

And what about those Spring Widgets? What do you think of those?

If you leave a comment and it doesn't get posted right away, that's because I am offline for a while. It will get posted if it is not spam.

Just found out I have made a huge mistake, a mistake that is costing me plenty.

So I need a good laugh.

Guy Kawasaki posted a story this week about a friend who just released a book called The Big Curmudgeon: 2,500 Outrageously Irreverent Quotations from World-Class Grumps and Cantankerous Commentators.

For those of you interested in getting Curmudgeon laughs now there's an online site with subscriptions available for a 'Daily Dose' you can post on your site and a newsletter providing you five new quotes daily, "Curmudgeon-Online".
Troll through the Library. Some of the quotes are quite funny. You're bound to find some that will make you laugh.
An example:
"In a few minutes a computer can make a mistake so great that it would have taken many men many months to equal it." unknown author.

And how about this one on Guy Kawasaki?


Be careful, if you click on the cartoon, it will take you to BLaugh, not Kawasaki.

In Search of Adam
Caroline has incredible journey to publication of her book "In Search of Adam".
She launched her website and a very personal blog in August, 2006, which got the attention of an editor of a new publisher, Fridays Project, from the UK not long after starting. Six Weeks?

And then! They offered her a contract! All this within a couple months!

Her book, In Search of Adam, is coming out in June 2007 in the U.K. Not only that but foreign rights are also being sold, just in: the newest, an Italian publisher: Newton Compton Editori, has bought the rights and will publish and translate in Italian.

Wow! What's her secret?

What did she use for keywords, site description, and how did she get readers/bloggers to comment?
