Are you bugged?

By Doug Williamson / Business Editor

Bugs and numbers and people and marriage all highlight this week's trek through the wide world of the World Wide Web.

--You may have seen the story in the Abilene Reporter-News a few days ago about the Census' new estimates of populations in the Big Country. If you want to see the latest from other counties around the nation, go to http://www.census.gov/population/www/estimates/countypop.html

-- Bugged? Or are the kids out trapping their insect collection for school? Visit http://www.ento.vt.edu/~sharov/3d/3dinsect.htm/ for QuickTime movies of your favorite bugs. It's all professional and academic, thanks to Virginial Polytechnic Institute and Virginia Tech.

-- Northwestern University has a wonderful World War II poster collection online. More than 200 posters related to the war are browsable and searchable at http://www.library.nwu.edu/govpub/collections/wwii-posters.

-- If you like "Biography" on the A&E cable network, you can have access to a big huge archive of video clips from the show's profiles at http://www.biography.com/watch/listings/

-- For racing fans, NASCAR has one of the better sites for the sport. Don't miss the multimedia selections. Home is http://www.nascar.com/

-- Heading toward the wedding-filled month of June, Paul White of White's Photogrpahy in Abilene has a site with matrimonial information. I especially liked the check list of what to do when in preparation for the big day. You can see the list at http://white-enterprises.com/WhitesPhotography/Wedding%20Planning%20Checklist.htm.
