Very Cool Stuff that I Stumbled Upon

If you happen to stumble upon this page, it is hoped that you will find stuff of interest to you and maybe to your web pages. You see, I have purposefully hidden this link at the bottom of my pages as a type of game, but also in hopes of it becoming a popular place to come searching for web tools.

The images and other graphics contained on these pages are those that I found as I searched the web looking for things to include on the Department of Physical Sciences homepages. I collected them and assembled them here as a resource for others in the various departments on campus, and indeed, others who come to this site via the World Wide Web. This web resource was originally compiled for others to use in their own web page development, a kind of reservoir of web tools if you will.

I will try to keep adding to this page as I find things out there that I think may be useful to me or others. Basically this page will be continuously

so keep checking from time to time. In addition, I will be looking for links to other cool and useful sites for web tools, graphics, and other stuff. These will be found somewhere on these pages. Email me if you know of some things that I might add here on ...

IKON...IKON...IKON...IKON

Before I begin, I want it expressly understood that ALL pictures etc. that I amass here is believed to be of public domain, and thus free for use. NO intention is made to infringe upon the rights of others.

Additional Disclaimer :

The IKON pages were developed as a private venture, and are maintained by me personally. As such, the views, pictorial tastes, and abberations from sanity that may be connoted in IKON are mine and may not be reflected by other members of the Department of Physical Sciences
( but then, they may ).

The divider above is one that I found to be universal with all its colors and schemes. I use it on many, if not all my pages. Dividers, including the one above, are useful for breaking information on pages into sections. I have included some of the ones I found in internet searches for your use. You can Go see now if you like, but keep in mind that this page is fairly heavy with graphics and may take a bit of time to load.

At the top of this page is a jpeg image that I found interesting, with the energy of something that resembles lightning. If it is of interest to you, please feel free to copy and use it.

If you are unfamiliar with how to grab the images from internet sites, I will give you a quick lesson. If you are using IBM or compatible equipment, put your mouse arrow on the image you wish to grab, and simply click the right mouse button
( Mac users must hold the right mouse button until prompted to save ). You will be asked the location to which you would like to save the image . I generally stick images on a floppy, then transfer those images to this ikon file.

In addition to gif and jpeg images, I am planning on putting some backgrounds and textures that can be viewed directly on your browser, as well as some links to other sites that I have stumbled upon. There are many useful sites with lots of web tools, and I will attempt to make links to these as I find them and have time to update this page. So keep visiting this site and I hope you will find something useful contained on it.

Philosophical or merely a Freudian Slip ?

Looking at this entity I created and named IKON, I fall back on a philosophical view that virtual life on the net can be viewed as running parallel with the phenomenon we call REAL LIFE. Scary I know, but in both we choose a path to follow and go forth until we arrive at a crossroad, a new link of sorts. Then we decide which way to travel, which path to follow.

Choose your road below and follow the link to an unknown destination. Allow IKON to be your tour guide and explore the trails and paths that lead to images and items ranging from subtle to sublime, or maybe to the bizzare. One never knows what may be found at the end of a chosen path. Relax and explore.....

Here are some Gif and Jpeg Images that I found interesting and sometimes even useful.I have decided it would be best to assign them to topics so you can select a particular area of interest. So, make a decision at this intersection on the cyber-highway and choose your path. Explore...

Astronomical Images,

Meteorological Phenomenon

Homemade Banners

Other Useful Tools that I have found for web pages will require their own separate roads. IKON will be your tour guide as you navigate the TOOLS for Building your own web pages. I will begin by providing links to TUTORIALS that will explain and provide examples of basic HTML code. I have found these pages extremely useful in the initial development of my pages, and I often refer to them now as I experiment with different ideas for web page layout and such.

In addition, if you take the right fork here at this intersection, you will find things like BULLETS, DIVIDERS, ICONS, and ANIMATED IMAGES to add flair to you web pages. This page is pretty heavy with GRAPHIX, so be patient while it loads.

If you decide to hang a left at the intersection, you will find that a page containing background textures and links to add some color to those pages. Take a little time to cruise with IKON through cyberville and explore some of the possibilities for enhancing the background of your web creation.
