Right Ascension & Declination: Beyond the Lattitude

To prevent my homepage from getting too cluttered, as well as making sure I could represent all of the links I wanted, I decided to move this section of my list of links to a seperate page.

These links vary in quality and usefulness - they're here largely for my reference as well. Many are former stars from the starmap back on the homepage that have been rotated out and kept here for posterity (or posteriority, take your pick). ;)

? 		= very cool
= cool
= interesting
= been there
= aint read enough to say 		These ratings are a gague of page content or usefullness (in my opinion). For example, a page for a music group is ranked largely on how much I like the group, not just the page. For resource pages, a page of useful text links outranks spiffy FX. Get it?
