Interesting Links
Interesting links we have encountered lately:
First, see a friend of the Clarion chronicling her travels across South America with beautiful pictures and brilliant, sparse, unadorned words. Found at tres soles.
This next one may not be news to some folks, a couple of clued-in hipsters who informed the Clarion about "Freecycle" were somewhat surprised we hadn't heard about it yet. It is a great site and more importantly a great interpersonal network. As the name indicates, it is an attempt to share and reuse, rather than use and discard. "Waste not" is a mission the Clarion is firmly behind. The ingenious mavens at Freecycle have prevented over 300 tons of trash from hitting the world's ever increasing landfills.
In a similar vein, this one from the Market, comes about half as good an idea. Half.com is operated by E-Bay. The idea is deeply discounted (half off, hence the name) products for sale from individual users. What a bargain!
On a less practical, but possibly more interesting vein Blogger recommend the Caffeinated Librarian recently in their "Blogs of note." It must be conceded that personal proclivities mean the Clarion is likely to be sympathetic to over-coffeed, bibliophiles. Check it out, she is a smooth, witty writer.
For less interactive personal exploration, last week we brought you the The Muppet Personality Test. It was spot on for this lab rat. This week we recommend trying out, What Tarot Card are you?
