About this Notebook

How to Use this Notebook
Tan background pages are Divider Pages, used to list contents. Click on the "Contents" tab at the right edge of this page to see a typical Divider Page.
White background pages are Text Pages, like this one.
On a divider page the black dots are active links to Text Pages within the notebook. Click on the black dots to go to a linked notebook page.
On text pages the black dots are not active links.
Within notebook pages links to external pages (outside the notebook) are underlined as on a normal web page. For example, the "website" link below goes to the main page of the Explorers Foundation.
Explorers Foundation — website
Explorers Foundation exists to build a world fit for explorers and to fit ourselves to inhabit such a world.
This is an experiment, put on the Explorers Foundation website before it was ready. Sometimes exploration produces a plane that flies only 100 feet and dares to do it in public. If your tolerance for experimentation is low please wait about six months and then try this again. It will improve or it will be gone. -Leif, July 6, 2007 — always interested in your comments  — email: leifsmith *** at *** gmail *** dot *** com
