Dragon Tales: such a cute site, lots of activities too, from PBS. Got this from LII More New This Week, which has listings of those sites which don't fit their regular weekly mailout.

Librarian.net has put me onto this posting: Information Wants To Be Free: Open Source Alternatives, which mentions a freeware PDF creator which should be useful for a current project...

Another site

"Wise-Women.: An online community and network dedicated to supporting women web designers, developers, and programmers", this looks good too...

A webgrrl mentioned this site this morning : http://www.witt-project.net/ which I thought was pretty interesting - "Women's Information Technology Transfer". They hope to be "providing strategic ICT information to all, and supporting, in a collective way, Central and Eastern European women in developing the web as an instrument in their social activism. WITT is committed to bringing women’s actions, activities and struggles into the spotlight, promoting the use of free software as a way to highlight women’s voices."

And here I was thinking that I'd post regularly from the US... but it never happened. Strike one for the expensive Internet access - last time I went to Denver the hotel had free access, but no longer.
Conference was well worthwhile however, lots of good ideas to soak up and maybe implement. And the weekend in Boulder beforehand was great! Definitely want to go back there again to the Boulder University Inn - excellent service, free internet, and an organic Wholefoods store across the road (sigh). Also spent much money at Word is Out bookstore, Boulder Bookstore and the good cd store. Lucille's Creole Café is also a must. I had to buy an extra suitcase, and that was before I even hit Denver.

What prompted my posting? sarah lane mentioned this great Flickr project to check out, amazing what some people can do. Somehow I don't think my photo below made the grade!

Useful sites for the US: LA Bus timetables, Rough Guide, Lonely Planet, LAPL, Denver CitySearch, useful Denver Directory, Denver-Boulder Bus.

I joined up to Flickr.com this morning, hopefully I will be able to post some photos while I'm away - sounds very organised, doesn't it! Anyway here goes...

Another day in the trenches but got sidetracked by the new Amazon beta search utility. Not only fun getting google searches and amazon items on the same page - if you put in your own website address or one you know well you can get all kinds of info - eg. traffic info - how do they get this? plus the usual "people who liked this also liked"... there were some interesting links to our site.
Another sidetrack was the Webgrrls request for interesting woman-penned blogs. When I searched Bloglines for the keyword 'feminist' (well hey) there were a few goodies - my initial fave was Scottish Lass.
One person I wish would update her site in the form of a blog is Kim Ficera - just bought her book 'Sex Lies and Stereotypes' - very funny. For more about her - check out the A9 result page.
Yay! My first post in forever.
