"Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks!"



“The Internet is a giant international network of intelligent, informed computer enthusiasts, by which I mean, "people without lives." We don't care. We have each other...”

The Project Management Institute (PMI) is the leading global association for the project management profession. Since its founding in 1969, PMI has been at the fore front of working with business to create project management standards and techniques.

Ganthead.com is a web site dedicated to making project managers more successful. It is a community for IT project managers. The web site provides help to project managers in a number of ways including educational articles, processes that can be customized for running projects, project plans, templates & examples, access to experts, and tips on the art of managing projects.

Genealogy

The Ancestry.com web site is a wonderful tool for conducting family history research. Ancestry.com's database contains billions of U.S. Census records, immigration records, military records, social security death index records, historical newspapers and more. It is a subscription site which can be a little "pricey" (c. $20 a month) but well worth it.

The Cleveland Necrology File is a very helpful resource with a dreadful name! It was produced from a microfilmed copy of an alphabetical card file containing local cemetery records and newspaper death notices gathered by the staff of the Cleveland Public Library. The database includes paid death notices published in several of the major Cleveland, Ohio newspapers from as early as 1833 to 1975. This resource has been helpful for me as many of my mother's ancestors lived in that area.
