It's about hedgehogs,
it's about words with edge in them,
it's about the Internet...

The Compleat Internet Hedgehog Atlas©

First Edition


Welcome to the first edition of The Compleat Internet Hedgehog Atlas ©, an attempt to create the most comprehensive list of all the disparate resources that exist on the Net dealing with things hedgehog-ish.

The goal of this Atlas is not to displace other lists already out there on the subject (I point to a few here), but to bring them together in a more formal offering on the subject, and hopefully to have a bit of fun along the way (this page is part of the over the edge miscellany, after all).

Though there will be fairly regular updates, you may find some links leading down a dead end path, in need of repair, or the Atlas missing a location you hold dear. If so, feel free to let me know by sending email to iedge@delphi.com.

Hedgehog Home Pages

Hedgehogs are on the way to becoming THE exotic pet of the nineties within the borders of the US, even beating out the ferret (which admittedly is more cuddly). This doesn't mean they must be given their own Web pages!

Reference & Nature

Here's some places to help you bone up on the subject of hedgehogs. There's a quiz later.

The 'They're hedgehogs, but not HEDGEHOGS' Category:

Gatherings

Looking to fit in with other cyber-minded hedgehog owners and connect with them through the electronic ether? Here's a few ways to do so:

Games and Fun

The games are few and far between, but the fact they exist is news in itself.

Hedgeniks

Hedgehogs in the spoken word. Here's a hodge-podge of sites that cover the full terrain of prickly personal poetry and prose.

Here are some attempts to get Terry Pratchett's The Hedgehog Song, a long ditty from one of his Discworld stories, to order:

Entertainment

Few Hedgehogs seem to make it in the world of diminutive porcine-ic stardom.

Sonic the Hedgehog

A topic that more than merits its (his?) own page. Since there is so much out there on Sonic, I thought I'd just point to those locations that get you started.

Sharp Images

A picture can say a thousand ouches.

Food

Starting to get a little hungry? There's even an alcoholic hedgehog beverage!

Business

I'm not sure when companies decided having the word hedgehog in their name was good business practice, but here are those who have some Web savvy.

Religion

Go figure.

Misc.

As in all cases, when you dig deep enough, you find places that seem to deal with the subject at hand, but refuse to fit into any pre-arranged categories.

Other Pointers

Finally, a few hedgehog pages that link to... other hedgehog pages. Most links will have been provided here, but in any case I've listed the best, in my opinion, of the other hedgehog 'atlases' out there.
