Today’s FamilyFirst pick is listed under Education. Why? because knowledge, in this case, could SAVE YOUR LIFE! We’re talking about avoiding velociraptor attacks. It’s no laughing matter. Velociraptor attack is the 3rd leading cause of death for men age 27-29. But that doesn’t mean anyone outside that demographic range is safe. Velociraptors can attack anyone,…
Scientists ply their trade dangerously. You see, many of their theories and explanations defy logic. They also sometimes go contrary to public opinion. But since their ideas are based on experimentation and observation, this means that what they surmise may change with further enlightenment. That is the premise behind today’s FamilyFirst pick: Strange Science. Note…
Today’s FamilyFirst site is one that has been covered in the past, but it has had such a makeover that it deserves a second look. Early in the game, Yahoo! Figured out that kids need their own home page, and anything that is linked there would need to pass some pretty stringent standards as far…

They are in the business of selling amber…
Winter’s coming. That means long nights, cold temperatures and (if you live far enough north) the northern lights! Today’s FamilyFirst site is Nordly’s Northern Lights. It celebrates that phenomenon known as Aurora Borealis. The site is from Norway, so those folks ought to be experts in the amazing celestial light show. So maybe you’ve never…
Technology has changed our lives over the past 40 years. My children cannot understand how my brother and I lived with only one television set, and one channel.

Here is a fun family site, one that my son has enjoyed, and I am sure you will as well. Family First Site of the Day is happy to share it with you. The Dinosaur Time Machine will take you back to the times of the dinosaurs. You will learn many things about dinosaurs on…
