Renewal and Rebirth!

My apologies to my one and a half readers for not posting in almost two years. Here's another go at it!

First things first, time to google the word 'folklore.'

First page of results nets the following:Folklore - Wikipedia article - Not a bad start. I like the wikipedia project, even though the current head honcho is kind of creepy.

American Folklore.Net Interesting. Not really my cup of tea, but a great resource for a lay person. And also for those family members who want to know what exactly you do with your life.

Third on the results page is the PS3 game called Folklore. Which brings up as many false leads as Nelly Furtado's album.

This is kind of cool, the oral history of Apple computers can be found at Folklore.org. I would rather that domain name go to some academic concern, or the JAF, but whatever.

University of Pittsburgh has a nice website that's still up, Folktexts. Looks like it needs an update or something, stylistically it looks a little 1998ish. But its crammed with fun stuff. (I went to Russian Summer Institute at Pitt, spent a lot of time in the "tower of ignorance.")

About.com has an Urban Legends Page that turns up on the first page of google results. Would rather see Snopes there.

Overall not a bad results page - the search term was incredibly broad. A couple of good book recs come up as well.

I intend on posting daily to this bloggy thing. New Year resolutions and all that jazz!
