Overheard on the Web, and other Web links From The Herald's Research Editor

A couple things I tried to post yesterday, but couldn't:
Are you a Neocon? take this quiz from the Christian Science Monitor and find out. This is a pretty serious quiz and if nothing else may help explain just what a 'neocon' really is.
This is something that was just waiting to be created, very clever. Paul Rachemacher combined Google Maps and Craigslist to find lists of houses for sale/rent by city (with maps, of course). Miami is one of the cities, although it includes other Florida areas. What a great use of these two sites, and what a natural combination. You can browse by the listing or by the map; choose a geographic area and price range; clicking on the property description leads to the Craigslist ad. Smart.
Florida Online Park Guide is the new site from Florida State Parks. It's the place to go to find out what's happening in the parks. posted by liz at 3:37 PM
