ISFDB, The Encyclopedia of Arda
Unfortunately, it seems to be more of a bibliography than a database. I was hoping for something along the lines of The Encyclopedia of Arda (http://www.glyphweb.com/arda/default.htm). The wiki is here if anyone wants to help me dream big.
In case you’re curious, I’m using IBM ViaVoice [on MacOS 8.6] to dictate my brog. I had to teach it to recognize brog and blog, but now it even knows nonsense words. It’s a terrible processor hog, and I don’t think it knows me too well yet, but it’s still cool. Whenever I use it I think of the dog and the gramophone and that old RCA ad. The point, however, was to help me write, not to help me blog - I mean brog - so I suppose I should get back to writing.
