Just some things to look at at the start of the week. I'm in Texas teaching at Callaloo, so my posting may be a little slow this week.

  • MySpace/FaceBook=Town vs Gown. I listened to this report on "On The Media" about how FaceBook is the gated community of social networking sites. I have a page on the more "round the way" site, MySpace. If you are a member, please add me as a friend!
  • Katherine Webber gives the backstory of her deicison to write about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911. She was inspired when she read of the death of the last survivor who died at age 101.
  • There exists a book called "Getting Unstuck Without Coming Unglued: A Woman's Guide to Unblocking Creativity." I must have it! (I am so into self-help these days. I have started saying a mantra in the morning while I brush my teeth.)
  • Colorlines has an Q&A with Chris Abani.
  • Slunch walks us through the career path of the average young woman who wants a career in publishing. Also, folks in the biz share thier stories. Should I share this with my students??
