I love the Internet Back to Blog
I really, truly do. Sure, I often mention on this blog just how much I love my reference books, but some days, I can definitely appreciate the convenience of the Internet.
Recently, I’ve needed to research voodoo in Haiti, learn some Haitian creole, get driving directions from LA to Las Vegas, and discover the appropriate names for certain groups of animals–all for my WIP. Of course, none of this info was available in my reference books–but I found the facts I needed instantly on the Internet. Ah, the fast, fun convenience. Ah, the researching made easy!
Don’t you just love technology?

I truly, truly love it. I needed to visualize early 19th Century British Naval uniforms. Click, click, click, and there I was at the British Naval Museum’s online catalogue complete with photographs of every piece of clothing with notes. You can’t beat that.
Wow, Michelle! I think I’m going to have to check out that online catalogue–what a great resource!
Here’s the link, Cynthia 🙂

Very cool, Michelle.
I was cleaning up the programs on my computer and found out I hadn’t used the encyclopedia that came with it in over 2 years. It’s easier to google.
Thanks for the link, Michelle!
And I completely agree, Edie. In fact, I’m off to google some info right now.:-)
