A quick list of intriguing and/or useful things (not my most eloquent post):

one: The international children’s digital library!
I have read 1 book so far: The Blue Sky which is heartbreakingly beautiful and not one of those stories about making everything nice and happy for the children.

two: An online collection of 19th century concealed hearing devices! Curiously, while there are timelines up to the present of the development of hearing device technology, and histories of clinical institutions for the deaf, there’s no links to any deaf culture sites. Like, it’s all down one path of medical research, patents and breakthroughs, and no acknowledgement that people might create their own communities or solutions for living outside of a medical discourse.

three: quintura - a visual search engine that builds a word cloud as you search. nice.

four: base camp - a free web based project management tool. I might be getting more exicted about the tools than the content though.

five: web directions south - good resource spot for web tools and skillz.

six: palabras_ digital archive, community collaboration project, beautiful interface, counterhegemonic design.
