Wow, this place sure has grown from when I first started using it to make fancy title banners. They do a whole lot more than that now. Now they have buttons and fonts and clip art and new forums and more. It's just fun to play with this website so here are a few examples (click on the text link to see an image because squishing them down to fit inside this post would kind of wreck most of them).

National Geographic Online

My paternal Grandmother, a member of the National Geographic Society, always had plenty of National Geographics laying around and for a curious child who loved to read about culture and society and science and just couldn't get enough of learning, this was Heaven. I have always loved this magazine. Now, as an online presence and alive in YouTube videos, National Geographic brings their magic to many millions more. I think that's pretty useful.

Here are some of my favorite National Geographic videos:

Operation Thunderbolt

Biggest Suspension Bridge

Eagle vs. Eagle in Mid-air

Shark vs Octopus

Ticks Can Kill Moose?

Hyenas on the Hunt

Two Greatest Captures of Crocodiles

Kills With One Bite

Real Life CSI: Crime Autopsy

Chasing Tornadoes
