Dan's Favourite Links
As well as being a Beatles' fan, my interests
include computers; audio/video technology and music, including 60's and
70's classic rock, progressive or art rock; 80's synthpop and jazz,
(among
other genres). Below are some of my favourite links. There are so many
links that I took the time to include only those that I regularly use
in
my web pursuits and offer a high quality treatment of the subject
matter.
Enjoy! :) Dan Van Vugt

Access Publishing:
Featuring the literary works of Gerianne B. Van Vugt This is my
wife's
web site and features her publication "A Little
Insight" I'm not just promoting this page because
I'm
Gerianne's husband. I'm constantly amazed and impressed by her
creativity
and dedication to her work. Gerianne's page is a great inspiration for
writers who also have an interest in computers and graphic design. Get
your long tailed "rodent" moving and check it out!
Gerianne's latest - and possibly greatest - web site "Written In Faith"
features Gerianne's more spiritually themed literary projects. This
site is recommended for anyone who needs encouragement, uplifting or a
daily dose of inspiration (...and lets face it, in these complex
times...who doesn't!).

Gerianne and myself through their "100
