Looking For Interesting Glass Sites?

Check out ChanceGlass.net - I found this by 'accident' and spent several hours just drifting. . . .its a unique site full of glass info.
I ask David the owner of this site for a brief description:
www.ChanceGlass.net
ChanceGlass.net explores the range of domestic glassware produced by Chance until the company was sold off in 1981. Chance Brothers was formed in 1824 and produced all manner of glass, but is best known for the pioneering work in lighthouse optics, lens manufacture and flat glass (window glass) production. From 1929 the company started producing domestic glassware with ranges of pressed glass, followed by 'slumped' glass in 1939. To glass collectors, the name 'Fiestaware' and handkerchief vases has since become synonymous with Chance.

I'd just like to say that whomever wrote "Are white coats more impressive with age?" has nothing to do with you getting yours in a ceremony for your future DDS.
I applaud you for your scholastic achievements as well as the hard work that you do for this blog.
You will be more impressive with age...white coat or not, just as Blenko is. [I will check out the site/ thanks and thanks for the compliment re my teaching.]
