The list is included below for your reading pleasure...

I actually discovered this site a couple of years ago when checking the server logs for sites that link to SEATURTLE.ORG. For some reason Visa Latin America has a "Tortugas, ahora" page, complete with links to tracking maps from the Cayman Islands satellite tracking project, and a cool sea turtle info browser. I also just noticed that is has an online commercial with nice sea turtle shots which I have included below.

Something I have been thinking about for some time is providing tools to deliver content for use on other websites. SEATURTLE.ORG has enough constantly updating dynamic content now that this seems like a useful resource. For example, imagine being able to put a news stream from SEATURTLE.ORG on your website, or the latest links from the links section, or the most recent MTN articles.
The first such tool is ready for beta testing for anyone that is interested. You can place a slide show of images from the Sea Turtle Image Library on your web page with a little bit of javascript code. This will basically display the same slide show that appears on the SEATURTLE.ORG home page.
To make this work simply paste the following code in to any web page where you want the slide show to appear:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.seaturtle.org/imagelib.js"></script>Try it out and let me know whether it works for you or not.
I'd also be interested to know if there are any other similar tools that people would be interested in.
You can (hopefully) see the code in action below:
Lately, whenever my son sees me working on my laptop he asks, "See turtles Daddy?" Which is his way of asking if we can browse through the image library and look at all the turtles. He's only two but already asks me a ton of questions about all of the turtles.
It goes without saying that both of my kids are huge sea turtle fans. So a big thank-you to everyone that has contributed to the Sea Turtle Image Library and helped create a great resource. And my personal gratitude for helping me entertain and education my children.
It's great fun. Try it sometime!
There are some very strange ducks out there. I haven't looked at it in detail, but this site seems to believe that the environmental movement is out to destroy society:
Which is a project of the Center for the Defense of Free Enterprise.
Scary. It's hard enough trying to "do the right thing" without having to compete with misguided notions like these.
sigh...
