We also provide resources for folks interested in various topics including homeschooling, robotics and genealogy. The resources include mailing lists and web site resources.

• PIE - P.O.I.N.T.E.R.S. in e-mail - Italian genealogy and more.
  PIE is for anyone interested researching Italian genealogy. The website includes resources, tips for getting started and book recommendations from list members. Over a dozen years old now, PIE is the oldest mailing list devoted to the topic of Italian genealogy. List discussion is in English, but the list is international and includes members from the US, Canada, South America and Europe. Although most of the subjects do relate to genealogy, Italian culture, food, traditions, and travel to Italy are frequent discussion topics.


• TAFFIE - Texas Advocates For Freedom In Education - Texas homeschooling and resources.
  TAFFIE's website offers a wealth of information for anyone interested in homeschooling in Texas. Taffie has both an announcement list for events (taffie-annnounce) and a general discussion list. Over a decade old, Taffie is the oldest Texas homeschool mailing list and is now in it's 15th year. The website includes resources, statewide events, and support group information. New listings for support groups and events are added on a regular basis. TAFFIE also coordinates the annual Houston Rockets Homeschool Day, Toyota Center homeschool discounts, and homeschool theater discounts in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas.


• Robotics - Robotics resources, Robofest and more.
  A great resource for those interested in robotics, the website and email discussion list includes resources and discussions related to competitions such as FIRST LEGO League (FLL), Robofest, VEX, JFLL, EARLY, FIRST high school robotics (FRC), FIRST TECH Challenge, and BEST. List members include homeschoolers and those interested in using robotics and technology for education purposes and those with robotics clubs from around the country. Now in it's eighth year and not limited to just Texas, it includes list members from about a dozen states plus Canada.
