What is Cougar WebWorks?
Cougar WebWorks began as a personal website in 1996, evolving steadily
as an online Alternative
Culture Magazine. The site has always represented a compendium
of non-mainstream topics, celebrating the values of Nature, Culture, and
Spirit, and arranged according to the seven chakras.
These "nodes and episodes of life on and off the grid" have varied
over time, falling roughly into the following catergories:
1. Nature, Survival, Wilderness
2. Alternative Health, Lifestyle, Travel
3. Alternative Politics and News
4. Networking, Relationships, Blog
5. Alternative Music, African Drumming
6. Alternative Literature
& Reviews
7. Alternative Spirituality
Also in 1996, Cougar WebWorks served as the self-publishing logo for Roots
Jam: Collected Rhythms for Hand Drum and Percussion. That book,
available also as an ebook, was joined in 2002 with a companion volume,
Roots Jam 2: West African
and Afro-Latin Drum Rhythms, and practice CD. Together the
two books represented a new standard in rhythm notation for hand drums and
percussion. In 2006 the new site DjembeRhythms.com
was established to provide access to these and related resources for West
African-style drumming and dancing.
