Every once in a while I come across a website that makes me go- “Wow, the
internet is really, really cool.” Not that there isn’t a lot of cool stuff
on the internet regularly, but there are some things that seem really
unique to, and made possible by the technology of the internet. This week
I’ve stumbled across two sites like this- the first being the zebrafish
imaging site, and the second being the Electronic Literature Foundation
website. I came across ELF when I was looking for an online verison of
Dante. The website’s Dante section has 3 different English versions (along
with Italian, German and Finnish) and lets you compare all the different
translations side by side. The ELF site has a host of other authors’ works
available as well, including The Arabian Nights (two English versions) and
The Wizard of Oz.
