A Brief Explanation For First-Timers:
Welcome to the Mother of All Homepages, glad you could make it. Here is an overview to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
So what is the Mother of All Homepages, anyway?
Glad you asked. It's an experience like none you've ever had before, taking you on a journey
of body and soul like no other...no, never mind. Here are the basics:
FRONT DOOR: This is the first page you open up to. It serves as a gateway to the rest of the site, and as home to some more frequently-used resources (including a link to this page).
The navigation bar that you see now on the left of this text remains in place for most pages within the site, making
it easy to move quickly from one page to any other. If you're using Internet Explorer 4.0 or above, you'll notice that you can expand or collapse each category's links simply by clicking on the button for that category.
The site itself is divided into three major areas: Personal, Professional, and Links. We'll go through them one at a time
PERSONAL: This is the sub-area of the site that holds all of my
personal info. It includes:
- Bio: My life story and current
news--check it every now and then to see what I'm up to.
- Contact Info: How to get in touch with me.
- Coursework: Classes I've taken at Penn.
- Favorites: A collection of some of my favorite things in various categories.
- Friends: A list of links to friends' pages.
- Photos: Some photos of myself, family, and friends.
There are a few pages in this area that have sub-pages not included on the standard nav-bar. For example, my Shih-Tsu, Jilly, has set up her own page linked to from my "bio" page.
PROFESSIONAL: Here's where the "professional" me lives. This area currently has just two links:
- Portfolio: A collection of articles I've written for
34th Street, PC Magazine, Wired,
and some other things I've done for school and for myself over the years.
- Résumé: The on-line, up-to-the minute version of my résumé (this address is
listed on the hard-copy versions of my résumé, so people can check to see if anything's
changed since they got their version). Want to hire me? Just drop me an email.
LINKS: Here is a collection of some of of my favorites/bookmarks, culled from hours of dedicated Web surfing. I've got separate pages for each of the following categories:
The entire site should load quickly over a modem, and pages are designed to be viewable in any 640x480 or larger monitor with no horizontal scrolling and a minimum of vertical scrolling. Pages should render cleanly and consistently (though not necessarily
identically) in any browser and on any platform.
Please feel free to bookmark
this page, and/or use it as your starting page. If you have any requests, comments, complaints, or if you notice an outdated or broken
link, please e-mail me at kaufthal@ibm.net.
Your feedback is important to me; all input is welcome.
Well, that just about covers it. I hope you enjoy my page--come back soon, and let me know
what you think.
Happy Surfing,
