About Hypography
Hypography Sci-Tech is a privately owned web site which aims to provide popular science and technology content to a general, world-wide audience on a daily basis. By content, we think of reviewed science links, images, book reviews, articles, press releases, research tools, software, and otherwise whatever fits the general genre of "sci-tech".

What does "hypography" mean?
We created the term 'hypography'. A hypography is simply a list of references to electronic documents, or in general terms a sort of "bookmarks" list which is very specific. We regularly publish hypographies with popular science topics, all of which can be found here.
Who contributes to Hypography?
The daily maintenance is kept by the editor, Tormod Guldvog. With the helpful aid of his wife Yvonne and his sister-in-law Renate, as well as a handful of friendly relations, Hypography has been on-line since May 2000.
May I contribute to Hypography?
Yes! In fact, we would be very happy if you do. You can either apply to become a regular contributor, which means that you can review links, books, write articles and compile Hypographies - or you may simply sign up for our discussion forums and take part in our community. Everyone is welcome to join us in our attempt to create a popular science venue which is accessible for all.
Is this a commercial web site?
Well - yes and no. Hypography is a non-profit web site. All costs are covered by the editor. We run banner ads and sell products which help us finance the cost of this site - it helps us pay for servers, line lease and software. We will accept sponsorship programs whenever they are appropriate and do not contradict the purpose of the site.
