I have a variety of interests that I can barely keep up with. toni-two.com is a place for them, a network of websites I created to collect and catalog my personal projects, discoveries, and ideas. I am a volunteer ESL English teacher, which I recommend to everyone. It's great! toni-esl.com is my ESL English network of sites. All are welcome to use them.
